Summary
After 55 years of waiting for an answer to be invited to join the RIM Confederacy, the planet Enki has responded with an alternate idea - that the RIM Confederacy join them instead. Captain Tanner Scott is sent on the diplomatic mission to get the Enkians to reconsider. He and the Atlas crew help the new ambassador to find a way to bring the Enki into the RIM Confederacy without exposing to them the secret of why that is so important. If the Enkians can be persuaded, the RIM could gain access to the newly discovered metal ores that appear to make a ship invulnerable. But all of the RIM wants to shortcut the process, so the Atlas needs to quarantine the planet as well as maintain full diplomacy with the Enkians. When the Caliphate gets involved and back room deals are made it all comes to a head at the Atlas Adept Officer's trial for terrorism. Captain Scott will try to defend his officer by acting as his defense counsel - a job that is made even more difficult as the Enkian society and justice system are both hard to learn and hard to navigate.

War Thug
Summary
Two generations ago, the planet Earth was attacked by allied alien forces. Over 75 percent of humanity was killed during the invasion and attempted occupation. The carnage ended only when Earth-based military units devastated the home planets of the invaders using untested technology from the most advanced research labs on the planet. The attacking aliens fled. They were chased down and eliminated by platoons of Space Navy SEALs, the most effective fighting force ever created. Each member of a Space Navy platoon has received enhancements to sight, hearing, healing, memory, and more. But no platoon had what the crew of the Blue Celeste had: War Thug. This one-man killing machine kept his troops safe while leaving not one alien alive - whether sentient or "bug" - on any planet they were assigned to in the War Council's permanent War Against Alien Aggression. The platoon's latest assignment is to rescue three scientists under attack from a planet full of vicious Xenos. When they touch down, however, the 12-SEAL unit finds that nothing is what it seems. As soldier after soldier vanishes, War Thug and his team must try to find them as well as extract the scientists while the Xenos close in. War Thug is an action-packed trip into a world of alien terror, bloody battles, and a deadly conspiracy spanning the entire galaxy.
