Ohne Waffen kann man keinen Krieg gewinnen. Charlie und seine Freunde müssen ihr Schiff bewaffnen, aber sie haben ein kleines Problem – Schwarzmarkt-Partikelkanonen kosten viel Geld. Und sie haben keins. Damit bleibt ihnen nur eine Möglichkeit. Sie müssen die Waffen vom Anguilar-Imperium stehlen. Es ist ein gewagter Plan, der jedoch fehlschlägt, als Laranna von ihrem Feind gefangen genommen und in ihre Heimatwelt Strada verschleppt wird, die vom Imperium erobert und besetzt wurde.

Hausos ist eine friedliche Bauernkolonie. Einst von den Tahni kontrolliert, wird sie nun von einer Gruppe heimatloser Flüchtlinge und Kriegsveteranen bewohnt, darunter Cam und Vicky. Ihr Leben ist angenehm langweilig und ruhig genug, dass die Dämonen des Krieges in einsamen Nächten in Cams Albträumen herumspuken. Er bekämpft die Dämonen mit Willenskraft und Alkohol und ist entschlossen, diesen Ort zu seinem Zuhause zu machen.

Jack Schafer followed his greatest enemy through a wormhole—and stranded himself on the wrong side of the galaxy. Lost on a brutal alien world of dinosaurs, rebels, and empires built on stolen god-tech, Jack is cut off from Earth, from his allies, and from the woman he loves. But survival is...

Von Außerirdischen entführt und für Jahrzehnte eingefroren. Charlie Travers denkt, dass sein Leben nicht viel schlimmer werden kann. Er lebt über einer Pizzeria, hat seine Freundin verloren und keine Aussicht auf eine Karriere.

General Bradstreet and the American forces on Mars have defeated the incursion by the insectoid Seekers, but at a heavy cost. The Morrigan is nearly out of reaction mass and can’t make it back to Earth, both landers have been destroyed and they have greater than fifty percent casualties. They’re stranded on Mars, saved only by the shelter of the Visitor ship. Until, miraculously, help arrives in the form of a new alliance with the French Coalition government, which provides a resupply ship filled with food, fuel, and reinforcements… both US Marines and French Special Forces. They’re saved.

Charlie has accepted a commission in the US Army and the duty to build Earth's defenses before the Anguilar return for a larger attack to conquer his homeworld once and for all. But Giblet has other ideas. Obsessed with revenge against the Anguilar General Zan-Tar for the death of the woman he loved, Gib steals a starfighter and sets off on a suicide mission for the heart of the Anguilar Empire. Charlie is forced to make a decision: do his duty to his home and his people...or race to save his friend on the road of vengeance.

Brent Parthet just wanted to be left alone. A deadly supercommando in the Southwind War, Brent had retired a hero to a wildlife preserve as far from civilization as possible to enjoy the simple life with his wife and young son. But when one of the Southwind, the massive, genetically-engineered slaves who'd rebelled against their human masters, shows up at Brent's door, asking for help from an old enemy, Brent will find out that the war isn't really over. And he may have been fighting for the wrong side.

The resistance has been playing defense too long. Now that Charlie knows about the Imperial Redoubt, a starship the size of a planet that guards the Emperor and the bloodline families from all threats, he's decided it's time to take the fight to them. And if trying to infiltrate the heart of the enemy's stronghold is a suicide mission, Charlie, Laranna and Gib can't think of a better way to go out.

Cam Alvarez and the crew of the Orion spent five years in hibernation, putting old enemies behind them, searching for the pathway home. When they find another network of wormhole jumpgates created by the Predecessors, Cam is sure they’re on the right track. But there are other civilizations in this new part of the galaxy, and they already have their own plans for the network. Plans they’re willing to go to war to protect. War with each other…and war with the human newcomers.

The war is over...or that's what everyone thinks. Cam knows better. The Skrela are wiped out, but only Cam and Vicky know the truth, that Dwight and the other AI like him created the monstrous enemy to destroy the Predecessors. Burdened with this terrible secret, Cam must somehow maintain the tenuous peace between the humans and the Tahni until he and his Marines can return home.

Cameron Alvarez is a Marine Drop Trooper and Marines are no stranger to sacrifice. He was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the innocent, but what’s he’s been asked to give up now is far worse. Having subjected himself to the transformation virus, become linked to the power of another universe, Cam may have sacrificed his sanity—and his soul. The ghosts of that universe haunt him now, whispering in every unguarded moment, trying to turn him against the ones he loves.

Filled with explosive and realistic military action as well as heroes you can't help but root for, this is military Sci-Fi the way it's to be!

A reprieve... That’s all the victory over the bug-like Seekers has given Tom Bradstreet and his crew of Marines and Space Force troops on Mars. Because the failure of his pawns among the Seekers has only made the creature known as the Monitor even more determined to destroy the Visitor and its crew of ancient alien Blessed, sleeping in stasis for tens of thousands of years. They created the Seekers as their children, their heirs, and manufactured the Monitors to watch over them.

Ryan Hendrix wurde während der Schlacht um Hermes schrecklich verwundet. Doch dann wurde er kybernetisch repariert, vom Geheimdienst der Raumflotte in eine Waffe verwandelt…und heimlich auf der vom Feind besetzten Kolonie Aphrodite abgesetzt, um Sabotage durchzuführen und eine Widerstandsbewegung aufzubauen.

Brent Parthet finds himself far too close to his enemies. Trapped in an uneasy alliance with the corporate monopoly and the secret police who control the Coalition, Brent and the other Archangels wonder if their new allies are worse than Conrad Janus and his Insurrection. One wants to prop up a corrupt government while the other wants to throw the galaxy into chaos, no matter how many millions of lives it costs.

Cam Alvarez kennt nichts außer Krieg. Seit drei Jahren kämpft er auf einem gottverlassenen Planeten nach dem anderen gegen marodierende Aliens, die Tahni, und führt dabei eine Truppe Drop Trooper an. Doch der Krieg steht vor einer Wende. Cam ist jetzt ein frischgebackener Offizier und hat die Leitung seines alten Platoons übernommen. Die Lage hat einen Wendepunkt erreicht. Anstatt einen verzweifelten Abwehrkampf gegen den Feind zu führen, ist das Commonwealth endlich bereit, die menschlichen Kolonien zurückzuerobern, die die Tahni zu Beginn des Krieges eingenommen haben.

Charlie and his allies have been trying desperately for months to find a way to prevent the Zha'-Rath swarm from their endgame, from conquering Earth to turn it into a hive, using humans to breed their young...and feed them.

Dr. Erik Manheim needed a warrior. A Navy SEAL. Someone who could help him confront the threat he uncovered in ancient ruins—evidence that a rogue planet brings devastation every time it passes Earth. Instead, he got Jack Schafer, a hungover bush pilot in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, Jack is swept into a mission he was never meant to survive—one that stretches from the Alaskan wilderness to the stars beyond. Humanity's future hangs in the balance… and its best hope may be a reluctant pilot who wasn't supposed to be here at all.

Die Marines dringen tief in feindliches Gebiet ein, und die Zahl der Opfer steigt.

Wir haben eine Schlacht gewonnen … aber wir verlieren den Krieg. Das Image von Travis Miller hat sich geändert. Er ist nicht mehr der Idiot, der den ersten Kontakt mit Aliens vermasselt hat, sondern einer der Helden der Schlacht um Eden. Nun erhält er einen neuen Auftrag: die besetzte Kolonie Brigantia zurückzuerobern. Deren Verlust wäre ein leichter Schlag für das Tahni-Imperium, aber auch der erste wirkliche Gegenangriff der Erde, eine Chance, in die Offensive zu gehen.
