A Sword Into Darkness
Summary
Humanity is no longer alone in the universe. An unknowable threat approaches Earth - and we are completely unprepared to face what's coming. Aerospace tycoon Gordon Elliot Lee cannot stand idly by while a mysterious alien presence from Delta Pavonis bears down upon mankind's only home. Shut out from NASA and military support, Gordon is forced to go it alone, to sow the seeds for an entirely new sort of planetary defense: a space-based naval force. Joined by Nathan Kelley - a bloodied naval warrior, scarred by his own actions in the waters off North Korea - and Kris Munoz - an avant garde scientific genius with more ideas than sense - these three will scour the very edges of fringe science and engineering to attempt development of Earth's first space navy in time to oppose the Deltan invasion. Beset by ridicule, government obstruction, industrial espionage, and their own personal demons, it will take a miracle just to get off the ground. But the challenges on Earth are nothing compared to what awaits them in space. Against an unknown alien enemy with vastly superior technology, a handful of human scientists and warriors must become the sword that holds the darkness at bay. Missiles will flash, railguns will rumble, lasers will burn, and defenders will die. If they fail, our end is at hand.

Luck Is Not a Factor
Summary
Nineteen outstanding authors. Nineteen extraordinary stories. One best-selling universe. It’s the 22nd century. The galaxy has opened up to humanity as a hyperactive beehive of stargates and new technologies, and we suddenly find ourselves in a vast playground of different races, environments, and cultures. There’s just one catch: We are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain. What do you do when the odds are stacked against you? Mercs plan, strategize, and sometimes even scheme, but there is one thing they all believe - luck is never a factor. Unless it is. Enter the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight and die for money separates humans from the majority of the other races. Edited by best-selling authors and universe creators Chris Kennedy and Mark Wandrey, Luck Is Not a Factor includes all-new stories in the Four Horsemen universe by a variety of best-selling authors - and some you may not have heard of...yet. The 19 authors take on various aspects of the universe, giving you additional insight into a galaxy that isn’t at war, but definitely isn’t at peace. There’s only one thing for sure - anything’s possible for a fistful of credits! Full list of authors includes: JR Handley Kacey Ezell Jon Del Arroz Michael Ciaravella Philip Wohlrab T. Allen Diaz Terry Maggert Terry Mixon Chris Kennedy Mark Wandrey Jon R. Osborne Paul E. Cooley Joseph Capdepon Christopher Woods Thomas A. Mays Jamie Ibson Rob Howell Lee Dunning Brad R. Torgersen
