Following Ratf--ked, his “extraordinary timely and undeniably important” (New York Times Book Review) expose of how a small cadre of Republican operatives rigged American elections, David Daley emerged as one of the nation's leading authorities on gerrymandering. In Unrigged, he charts a vibrant political movement that is rising in the wake of his and other reporters' revelations.

Every generation reaches a point of rude awakening where what is demanded of us is more than what is given us. What we’ve been prepared for isn’t what we’re facing. What we’ve been taught is the good life really isn’t. Jerome Daley points us to ancient wisdom that long ago exposed the limits of celebrity and achievement cults: the monastic tradition. It offers not only meaning and a critique of values antithetical to a good life, but also ways of living and leading that will fill you up and dramatically increase your impact. Your leadership is meant for more; Gravitas will help you find the path.

The battered GammaLAW mission to Aquamarine had barely succeeded in ending the war with the world-destroying aliens, the Roke. The key to victory lay deep within Aquamarine's terrifying sentient ocean, and Commissioner Dextra Haven was determined to reveal those secrets at all costs. But she and the Exts were running out of time - the Aquamarine natives were dead-set on destroying the Oceanic, which controlled their lives with its awesome powers. And the Roke, hidden behind one of Aquamarine's moons, were preparing to strike.

The reluctant knight, Sir Crassmore, had a talent for getting himself into the center of any trouble that came along. There could be big trouble in the Beyonds where anyone or anything might wander in from the innumerable realities of time and space.

When the reception for Madame Dextra Haven erupted in a bloodbath, the offworlders quickly realized that Aquamarine's natives were not to be underestimated. But the Aquam were not the only dangers to the Periapt forces. A menace from within her own troops could drastically alter Haven's beneficial plans for Aquamarine. With declining resources and limited firepower, the GammaLAW mission faced utter failure, but Haven and her Exts weren't about to give up without a fight - even if it could be their last....

Nurse Helen Eberhart approaches everything in life with pure determination. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Helen decides to enlist as an army nurse. There, her grit is put to the test when she's assigned to care for the broken bodies of some of the most severely wounded soldiers, many no older than her own beloved brothers. Frank Daley wasn't trying to be a hero. He'd enlisted only to finish medical school, confident that the war would be over before his deferment ran out.

Galactic war was simple...win or die! Arrival on the ominous planet of Aquamarine was a splashdown into danger and death for Periapt high priestess Dextra Haven and her ragtag force of scientists and Ext warriors. Yet Dextra was undeterred, certain that Aquamarine held the key to peace between humans and a fierce alien race. But the sea-planet was rife with many deadly mysteries - and conquerors both seen and unseen lurked in cyberspace and outer space waiting to invade, possess, and destroy....

Uneasy lies the head. In just a few months Alacrity Fitzhugh and Hobart Floyt had claimed Hobart's inheritance from the ruler of a small interstellar empire then returned to Earth and toppled its government. They'd also become good friends. But Alacrity had more important goals than bodyguarding Hobart - he wanted command of the fabulous White Ship, the starship designed to track down the secrets of the ancient and powerful Precursor aliens.

The flies in the ointment. Once upon a time, the dying ruler of a small interstellar kingdom made a minor Old-Earth bureaucrat named Hobart Floyt the surprised inheritor of an interstellar spaceship. And that was wonderful, for in those days, when mankind was again expanding into the galaxy, a private spaceship was a license to coin credits. There were just a couple of minor problems.

Though they contemplated a final suicide mission of blood, guts, and glory, the Exts knew their warrior super skills were no match for the LAW - Legal Annexation of Worlds - who were sent into space by the mighty Periapt potentates to colonize new populations against the evil, alien Roke. Among the Ext draftees bound for Periapt were Allgrave Burning, his techno-wizard cousin Lod, and beautiful, death-scarred Ghost, all sworn to a greater purpose, destined to fight in a star-torn war like none other.
