Young, pampered Amalric Antero cared only for real places and possible dreams. But then he met Janos Greycloak, a dashing soldier who dabbled in forbidden magic and who carried on him proof of riches and mysteries beyond imagination. And suddenly Amalric found himself setting out on the adventure of a lifetime, a daring and perilous quest through unknown lands peopled by nightmares, to seek the ultimate in fables... The Far Kingdoms!

Sten had fought his way up from slave labor on a factory world to commander of the Eternal Emperor’s bodyguard, the Imperial Gurkhas. But during his first three months on Prime World, the most dangerous weapons Sten had encountered were the well–phrased lies of Court politicians. It seemed no place for an honest fighting man. But when a bomb destroys a local bar, Sten discovers the danger and corruption behind Court intrigue.

Raised on the factory planet of Vulcan, Sten soon learns about the survival of the toughest. Now he wants more than survival. The Eternal Emperor rules countless worlds across the galaxy. Vast armies and huge fleets await his command. But when the Emperor needs to pacify the Wolf Worlds, the planets of an insignificant cluster that have raised space piracy to a low art, he turns to Mantis Team and its small band of militant problem–solvers. Sten’s destiny is in his own hands.

The first book in an action–packed new SF adventure series. Vulcan is a factory planet, centuries old, Company run, ugly as sin, and unfeeling as death. Vulcan breeds just two types of native: complacent or tough. Sten is tough. When his family is killed in a mysterious accident, Sten rebels, harassing the Company from the metal world’s endless maze-like warrens. He could end up just another burnt–out Delinquent. But people like Sten never give up.

Flying Ace Mason “Mace” Dickson was once a legend among fighter pilots. Now, in his middle years, that storied life is a distant memory—until NASA drafts Mace for a black book flight test. He’s transported to a strange world forgotten by time, where he wakes on the desert sands of a bloody battlefield. In this land, warfare isn’t fought from the skies at a distance. It’s vicious and hand-to-hand, and arcane spells can kill a man just as quickly as spear or sword.

I lost my husband two years ago in a car accident. Two weeks after we were married. On the day of my student’s finals. No, it’s not okay, and I’m not okay. It hasn’t been easy, and I’ve basically been going from day to day since then. But along comes Bark Ruffalo, an adorable little dog that belongs to my new coworker -- my cute coworker -- Remy Webb. Soon, I’m spending a lot of time with Remy and discussing my deceased husband, and finding myself coming alive again.

Interstellar war has come to planet Earth. Humanity’s representatives have one task: stop Lusus, the Leviathan, from erasing all life as we know it in a ritual called the Qualen. However, among the overwhelming challenges this threat poses, an old foe rises from the ashes to offer a different perspective: join with me, or die. In the thrilling final installment of the Fragments Series, all of humanity is put to the test. Will planet Earth ever be the same?

Jake West, newly named Ambassador of First Contact, has quite the task before him: unite the world against the Voranah, the species responsible for life on Earth. However, healing fresh and millennia-old wounds ripping the global community apart is no easy feat. As the invasion looms closer, Jake becomes the target of two secret organizations hellbent on his destruction. While navigating the public eye once more, Jake must battle assassins, self-proclaimed goddesses, and the Illuminati, all while struggling to remember the people he's fighting for.

Jake and the others have a simple mission: find the Omnia Fragment, and keep it away from Benedetti. But things get complicated as they’re pursued across the ocean to the fragment’s final resting place in the Mariana Trench. They don’t know what they’ll find when they get there, or who out of their group of seven will become The Primarch—the person who can control all the elements.

When Jake West goes on a first date with Jordan Bailey, sparks fly—both figuratively and literally, as an explosion rocks the restaurant. However, Jordan controls the blast, eyes aflame as he saves their lives. But Jordan is not alone. There are others like him, some who want to preserve the planet using the power of the elements—The Keepers—and some who want to be recognized and appreciated for the power they—The Disciples. And for some reason, the Disciples are very focused on making sure Jake doesn't see the light of another day.
