Ripley facing down the Xenomorph Queen. Sarah Connor fighting the Terminator. David Weber’s Honor Harrington. Science fiction novels and the silver screen are full of badass women kicking butt and taking names. Sometimes it’s the momma bear persona stepping up to defend her young, but, other times, she’s just the meanest one standing—bionic arm or not!

Das Ende ist nah … Cameron Alvarez und die Besatzung der Orion sind den Suchern auf den Fersen und folgen der Fraktion der Uralten auf ihrer Suche nach der Quelle der Skrela-Plage. Aber die Besatzung steht kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch, und ihr Kommandant, Colonel Hachette, hat diesen Punkt längst überschritten. Der Tod von Sergeant Major Campbell hat ihn erschüttert und jetzt ist er unfähig, seine Leute zu führen. Der Einzige, der noch in der Lage und bereit ist, das Kommando zu übernehmen, ist Cam.

We have met the enemy… and they are us. Peace between the kingdoms of Dravos is beginning to fracture. Border raids are escalating, allies are turning on one another, and Jack Schafer is about to discover an enemy that doesn't invade from outside, but works through the minds of those he trusts...

Für Colonel Marcus Hachette vom Flottengeheimdienst und die Besatzung der Orion bedeutet „nach Hause zu kommen“, das Tor zu finden, durch das die Uralten die halbe Galaxie bereist haben, und es zu benutzen, um zur Erde zurückzukehren. Für Sergeant Major Ellen Campbell, die Frau, die für Cam immer noch „Top“ ist, ist ihr Zuhause das Marine Corps. Für Vicky Sandoval ist ihr Zuhause der Ort, wo sie und Cam ein gemeinsames Leben aufbauen können – sei es zurück im Commonwealth oder genau hier in diesem seltsamen neuen Teil der Galaxie.

Charlie Travers hat nicht darum gebeten, der Anführer einer Rebellion zu werden … aber niemand sonst wollte den Job. Jetzt, da er eine Armee zusammengestellt und sie mit den tödlichsten Kampfflugzeugen ausgerüstet hat, die je gebaut wurden–den legendären Vanguard-Starfightern–, braucht er nur noch eines: jemanden, der diese Dinger fliegen kann.

After years of wandering through the galactic wilderness, Cameron Alvarez is home. But home isn’t there anymore. While the Orion mission was gone, an alien virus brought the Commonwealth to its knees and killed billions. All that’s left is a provisional government on an isolated colony, and they need Cam’s help. The new Commonwealth is teetering on the edge of survival, and one push could send it over the brink. That push might be the movement known as the Confluence.

Cam Alvarez ist in den fernsten Tiefen der Galaxie gestrandet … und der einzige Weg nach Hause führt mitten durch eine Horde außerirdischer Monster. Cam und die anderen Mitglieder der Task Force sind Zan Thint durch das Tor der Uralten zu einem anderen Spiralarm der Galaxie gefolgt. Dort sind sie gestrandet … es sei denn, sie finden ein weiteres Tor. Auf den Spuren der Uralten, die vor Jahrtausenden aus dem uns bekannten Teil der Galaxie geflohen sind, entdecken sie eine verlorene Zivilisation nach der anderen … aber werden sie auch die Uralten finden?

Victory was supposed to mean peace. After defeating the Archon and returning from certain death, Jack Schafer should finally be able to rest beside the woman he loves. Instead, he discovers a cruel bargain already in motion. An ancient machine intelligence is consuming Dr. Manheim from the...

Cole Ransom, Captain of the ICA cruiser Mistral, is a man with a checkered past and a crew of misfits held together by loyalty and stolen parts. He's made a career bending the rules. And after being blamed for an incident that nearly restarted a galactic war, he's used to being the Fleet’s favorite scapegoat. But when a routine investigation leads Cole to stumble upon a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the United Systems Senate, everything changes.

Cam und Vicky verfolgen Zan-Thint bis zu seiner letzten Festung, einer leblosen Welt tief im Gebiet der Tahni. Wenn sie ihn nicht ausschalten können, bevor er eine uralte, außerirdische Waffe aktiviert, wird ein Schwarm biomechanischer Killermaschinen alles Leben im Commonwealth auslöschen. Aber die Vernichtung seiner Feinde ist nur die eine Hälfte von Zan-Thints Plan. Er unternimmt nichts, ohne einen Fluchtweg in der Hinterhand zu haben. Und dieser wird ihn–und Cam Alvarez–aus der Galaxie hinausführen.

Jack Bennet returns from the war to find the life he left behind has moved on without him. The only option he has to make ends meet lies in a military surplus junkyard starship. What’s a former Combat Search and Rescue soldier to do? Fix up the ship, hire the cheapest pilot—a notorious drunk—and take the first contract that comes up: collect a bounty on one of the most ruthless killers in the Pirate Worlds, a place crawling with thieves, cutthroats and con artists whose primary language is violence. Jack must abandon his nice guy persona, or exploit it, if he is to survive.

Two years after the end of the Psi War, Caleb Mitchell is Emperor in all but name, leading his armies on a crusade to cleanse the colony worlds and Earth itself of the last of the psionic madmen known as the Changed. But the citizens of the Commonwealth weren't the only ones devastated by the war; the criminal cartels in the Pirate Worlds are in chaos, their trade cut off, their resources running out. A young warlord named Amos Dobrev rises up to unite the cartels into a union they call the Syndicate. 

Cameron Alvarez and the crew of the Orion are hot on the trail of the Seekers, following the Predecessor faction on their quest to find the source of the Skrela infestation. But the crew is close to the breaking point, and their commander, Colonel Hachette, is long past it. The death of Sgt. Major Campbell has left him devastated and unable to lead.

Charlie Travers has been away from home for a long time, fighting to free the galaxy from the tyranny of the Anguilar Empire. But now the Anguilar know where that home is...and it's only a matter of time before they set their sights on Earth, intent on conquest and enslavement. Charlie doesn't have enough troops or supplies to stop them. And there's only one place he can get them.

The greatest heroes of the Commonwealth are gathered in the breach for one last fight. The Transformation Virus rages through human space like a wildfire, changing ordinary men and women into psionic demi-gods, bent on destruction and conquest. The government has fallen, the military is helpless, and the fate of humanity rests in the hands of a collection of unlikely saviors.

Korri Fontenot left family behind on Earth a century ago to fight in a war that broke her body and her mind. Now, her great-granddaughter, Jackie, has followed in her footsteps. First as a Marine and then as a mercenary outlaw, Jackie has made the mistake of breaking into a secret corporate lab and stealing an ancient alien artifact. Dark forces want the artifact back.

Charlie Travers didn’t ask to be the leader of a rebellion…but no one else wanted the job. Now that he’s gathered an army and armed them with the deadliest starfighter ever made, the legendary Vanguards, he just needs one more thing: someone who knows how to fly the things. Unfortunately, no one has been behind the stick of a Vanguard in hundreds of years, since the end of the war that threw the galaxy into chaos. Their only hope lays in the legends of a crashed ship, a fighter crew frozen in stasis for centuries.

Sure, men fight for their beliefs, their country, and their ways of life. And often times the battles are hard fought and devastating. But more often than not, the outcome is decided by who has the better gear.

If you’re going to fight a space war, you have to have spaceships. Charlie has a headquarters, a purpose, and an army…everything you need to build a resistance. Except warships. The Anguilar have plenty, but they also know the resistance will be coming after them, and they’ve set a hardened killer to hunt down Charlie.
