Lynn's Rules
Summary
If the Kazak Guardians had a recruiting poster, it would have read: "Wanted: A select few insane men to fight professional assassins with super-human abilities. Good medical plan provided". Surviving the training program was dangerous - even the first challenge to gain entrance to the school could get you killed. But the training was the easy part. Staying alive afterward was the hard part. Kazaks guarded individuals whose lives were deemed critical to the security of the United States. As such, Kazaks attracted fanatics and the best professional assassins money could buy - liars who could tell lies you believed, ghosts who could become nearly invisible, and illusionists who could appear to be anyone. Lynn survives years of training and the five deadly challenges to become a Kazak Guardian and enters a world of extremists and assassins, where each assignment become a deadly contest between Kazak and assassin, with the prize the life of the VIP. In spite of the danger, Lynn enjoys every assignment with its interesting people, new environments, challenges, and best of all the occasional opportunity to pretend to be someone other than a Kazak - a tiger in tabby garb.

The Riss Accession
Summary
With invading aliens determined to confine humans to their planets, one thing is certain: The Aliens' force is technologically superior to the SAS, and even with the new Riss technology the clans have developed under Nadya Reese's supervision, the SAS cannot defeat them alone. But forging an alliance between the SAS, UFN, and JPU will not be easy. It will require the empires to put aside their long history of border wars and mutual dislike. Worse, many in the SAS hate Riss-humans, especially Nadya. As a consequence, maintaining the Mutual Support Agreement between the Riss and the SAS is proving impossible. And then there is the issue of sharing technology with recent enemies, the question of leadership, and Nadya's involvement. The JPU only recently had bounties on Riss-humans, and Riss hides are prized in the UFN and JPU. Nadya's not so sure the Alien's idea of confining the war-like humans to their planets isn't a good idea. But the fate of the Riss is tied to the humans, so whatever her doubts, she must act.

The Riss Enemies
Summary
The threat from the JPU has been eliminated and the empires should be at peace, but fractions within the SAS have revised old resentments against the Riss and Freeland. These anti-Riss groups have distorted the facts of the war with the JPU and dispute the Riss' right to quarantine JPU, insisting the SAS should have exclusive rights to the JPU and the Riss quarantined. While the SAS plots against the Riss, an alien force enters SAS space and is annihilating inhabitable systems. The Riss attempt to form an alliance with the SAS and UFN to stop the alien invasion. But the threat from aliens isn't enough to avoid dissention and rebellion within the SAS. Meanwhile, newly discovered humans in a neighboring section of the galaxy are at war with other aliens - close enough to eventually be a threat. The Riss must choose to remain neutral or get involved. Note: Audioook four in the Riss series, The Riss Enemies, can be listened to as a stand-alone novel although it contains references to events in previous audiobooks. Audiobook five, The Riss Challenge, can also be listened to as a stand-alone although it contains references to events in previous books. It explains the war with the JPU and the reason for the quarantine. Audiobooks three and four, The Riss Survival and The Riss Accession, are best listened to together. They cover the invasion by an advance race of aliens using robots as hosts. Audiobooks one and two, The Riss Gamble and The Riss Proposal, are best listened to together. They introduce the Riss, gorilla-looking but peaceful aliens, and details the human protagonist's rise to spokesperson and leader of the Riss Nation.
