The Transcended #2

For the human Confederation, war is never far away. Each hard-fought victory against the universe’s endless variety of alien species brings more of them crawling out of the celestial woodwork. It begins again. A huge fleet of spacecraft emerges close to one of the Confederation’s worlds. The aliens onboard – known as Trivar – claim to be peaceful. After countless wars, the Space Corps’ high command isn’t ready to believe, and with good reason. The Trivar have many demands. It doesn’t take long for two of the Corps’ most decorated officers to become embroiled in a war which appears impossible to win. Lieutenants Joe Nation and Becky Keller can fight and they can fly. Both skills will be required in abundance against an opponent immune to the Confederation’s most advanced weaponry. While Nation hunts for a weakness aboard the main Trivar ship, two huge space fleets clash. Nothing is easy in this universe and the key to victory lies with humanity’s once-greatest enemy. Unfortunately, the Estral already have their hands full and they aren’t about to give their military secrets away any time soon. It’s just another day in the never-ending fight for survival… Fleet Vanguard is a high-action science fiction adventure involving massive space battles, overwhelming odds and exciting technologies. It continues the Transcended series and picks up straight after book 1: Augmented.

Fire and Rust #1

Humanity is within months of losing an interstellar war to a species of aliens known as Fangrin. Giving up isn’t an option. Victory doesn’t seem like an option either.

When assault craft pilot Commander Jake Griffin is sent out with the Eternity carrier group to hunt down and destroy enemy facilities, he has no idea what’s coming to him. The planet Graxol-4 out in the middle of nowhere hides a critical enemy base with vital resources just waiting to be stolen.

The only problem is, it’s guarded by a war fleet and surface troops, while the planet itself is toxic and gripped by constant storms.

The coming fight will be relentless. It will test Griffin’s combat skills to the limit against a vastly superior foe. In a way, he’s got it easy – the troops on the ground will have to beat the Fangrin in the most challenging circumstances imaginable.

That job falls to Lieutenant Tanner Conway, a man who just wants to go home to his family.

Victory on Graxol-4 may not win the war, but it will buy time for humanity to regroup, toughen up and come back harder.

However, a third - unknown - player has an interest in this game and their involvement will turn everything on its head.

Iron Dogs is a sci-fi action adventure in which human bravery and technology come up against the might of an alien war machine in the harshest of environments.
