Shadows of the Fall
Summary
A Duchy of Terra spin-off series. Fifty thousand years ago, the Precursors broke the universe. Now, great powers and small alike fight over their wreckage. But in the midst of the chaos, there is a question no one asks: why? Morgan Casimir, commander of the A!Tol Imperial cruiser Defiant, has seen the works of the Precursor aliens known as the Alava. She has seen their accidents threaten worlds and consume entire star fleets. Charged by her empress to prevent a conspiracy of profiteers from finding and using a lost fleet of Alava warships, she knows unimaginable catastrophe looms if she fails. With her lover, xenoarcheologist Dr. Rin Dunst, at her side, she is sent to a hot zone on the edge of war to once again achieve the impossible. But as they search along a border flaring in violence, Morgan discovers that if the worst comes to pass, her orders are to destroy the ships rather than allow them to be taken...and she realizes that there just might be a reason seemingly godlike aliens lost an entire fleet.

Breach of Trust
Summary
The battle for truth was only the beginning. Captain James Henry has finally gained what he long desired - redemption. Yet not even his restored military honors and reputation can wipe away the bitter taste in his mouth after 15 years weighed down by guilt and shame. Whereas others now recognize him as a legitimate hero, all Jim sees when he looks at the man in the mirror is a coward. If he’d stood up for what was right in the first conflict, countless lives would’ve never been lost. But not even the truth will bring back the dead - or restore a shattered trust. Before deep-seated betrayal sends Jim to the bottom of another whiskey bottle, the past again rears its ugly head when the Shadow Wolf’s first mate is kidnapped by an unholy enemy alliance. To rescue her from their clutches, Jim swallows his injured pride and accepts assistance from an unlikely source. One that still reeks with the stench of duplicity. The fate of Jim’s first mate is sealed when treachery abounds from every galactic quadrant, and her very life is wrenched from her control for a more sinister intent. When captain and crew rush in to extract their comrade, they’ll face down an enemy they never saw coming - and suffer a soul-crushing loss. Can Jim overcome it all, and save his crew one more time?

The Twisted Secrets of the Leadership
Summary
“You are a huntress. You value honor and righteousness. You did your duty. And, I have never been more proud of you.” The Leadership. An organization for and by people who have devoted their lives to protecting humanity from the vile creatures known as Witches. They have put in place meticulously structured guidelines, rules, and orders for the sole purpose of achieving that one goal. The flow of operations runs as smoothly as a well-tuned orchestra, but don’t be deceived. The Leadership is far from valiant. Behind its gold-plated exterior is a rusted fist, clenched chokingly around their victims. Or as they call them, Hunters. The Leadership has hidden all of its secrets behind a thick coating of manipulation and centuries of brainwashing. They have perfected the art of allegiance through fear; compliance through exploitation; and conformity through condemnation. However, all they have tried to hide will be revealed through five broken but undefeated souls: Eddie, Angel, Caieta, Benzi, and Loyce. They had to learn the hard way that nothing is sacred but the sole objective. And no one is safe. Not even the purebred soldiers they call children. “We thank you for your Sacrifice.”

An impossible enemy. A fleet surrounded. Jain and his fleet of elite AI warships hurry to Earth's defense when an alien empire known as the Link stages an all-out attack.

Book Two, The Alliance, is available now.
