In the dying embers of an interstellar war, newly appointed Fleet Commander Galvin Quintos stands as humanity's last hope, staring down the maw of oblivion. Entrusted with the technological marvel, Omninought-Class warship, USS Washington, Quintos embarks on a campaign to engage the merciless Grish Empire's three formidable armadas—Prowess, Torrent, and Pinnacle.

Captain Galvin Quintos, along with the love of his life, XO Gail Pristy, thought retirement meant a fresh start together within the Colorado wilderness—not being pulled into the latest galactic conspiracy by EUNF High Command. Quintos is given little choice but to spearhead a secret mission to the distant Tammarine sector.

When the Krygians, a soulless insectile alien race, attack a Floritineian goodwill convoy, annihilating their fleet and stealing the precious cargo, the U.S. Space Navy reaches out to the one person who can do the impossible: Captain Galvin Quintos. Tasked with the covert 'Quansport Ops' mission aboard USS Ike, a far smaller Corvette-class warship than he’s used to, Quintos must navigate treacherous alliances and cutting-edge tech to reclaim a warship that cannot be allowed to be in enemy hands—Oblivion.

Captain Galvin Quintos thought he'd seen it all, but nothing could have prepared him for the catastrophe that befalls USS Roosevelt. In the blink of an eye, the mighty omninought is reduced to a fractured hulk, leaving Quintos and his surviving crew stranded aboard little more than space wreckage Quintos re-christens, USS Resilience.

Skyscraper developer Quincy Witherman has continued his family's 200-year practice of hiding assets in Switzerland. Now, needing protection from his creditors, he hires Kansas City bankruptcy lawyer Josephina Jillian Jones – 3J – but fails to disclose the Swiss assets to 3J, his bankers, the IRS, and the bankruptcy court...all felonies. 3J knows in her gut that something is wrong. So does Witherman's banker, Stacy Milnes. Will anyone catch him?

The enemy didn't go extinct. They went hunting. Retired (again) from the U. S. Space Navy and settling into ranch life with Captain Gail Pristy—the woman he loves—Quintos thought his war-fighting days were behind him. Then Admiral Gilbert called in an old debt, and suddenly he's back aboard USS Crusader—once the most powerful omninought in the fleet, now stripped down and converted into a glorified luxury liner for wealthy colonists. But the mission to escort passengers to a newly terraformed world goes sideways the moment a group of massive warships appear at the wormhole exit.

Ian Stevens, director of the Deep Space Research Institute, isn’t interested in conducting research just for the sake of research. While the rest of the world - including the US Government - thinks that’s the DSRI’s sole mission, Stevens is actually interested in more - he wants manned space travel and the colonization of the moon. With NASA defunct, few scientific probes are being launched, and no one even talks about human spaceflight anymore. Stevens is out to change that.

The financial and economic crisis is over, and the Lunar Free State is beginning to pull out of the recession it suffered competing with the Confederated Nations over the Xanadu colonies. Now, however, the LFS is indebted to the CNE, and the new Lunar government is gradually falling under CNE’s influence. In a few years, the LFS will become just another puppet state under the CNE banner.

Kansas City attorney Josephina Jillian Jones, 3J to her friends, has dealt with people perpetrating online disinformation, white supremacists, and clients hiding assets, so when a couple who heads up a company that builds inner city housing for marginalized communities comes to her for legal help because their longtime banking partner has shut off their funding, the case appears at first blush to be tame by comparison. But when the bank president disappears and his greed-driven brother seems the likely culprit, things heat up.

After fighting a demon, surviving a life-or-death trial, and taking care of a psycho out to crown himself emperor, Eli was really hoping for a peaceful trip on a skyship to Galdish with his friends and allies. Unfortunately, powerful forces are converging around him, making his journey far more perilous as the supposed "gods" continue to meddle with the world of Lurra.

Captain Galvin Quintos commands humanity's most advanced battle group in a desperate mission to the galaxy's edge, where the Techno-Mycoids have returned with unprecedented force. This fungal-mechanical species, previously encountered in smaller numbers, now fields massive fleets systematically consuming the peaceful Zephyrian civilization. With thirty-six billion souls already assimilated into their grotesque bio-mechanical war machine, time is running out for both the Zephyrians and potentially all organic life in the galaxy.

Eli continues his adventures in Lurra, lost once again after Fluxi's gateway dropped him in the middle of some unknown settlement, far from his friends. At the same time, the Association has begun to step out from the shadows, revealing their horrifying intentions for this world as they manipulate the Remnant's forces into launching a fresh invasion on the Pantheon Alliance.

A committee of creditors hires 3J, one of whom is the leader of a White Nationalist organization on the government’s domestic terrorist list. When the member realizes he will not get paid back everything he is owed, he blames 3J, a Black attorney, and opposing counsel, a Jewish attorney.

Eli wakes up far from Earth and is promptly thrown into the magical prison world of Lurra, with superpowered humans who don’t even know they’re inmates. If that wasn’t bad enough, the experimental implant in his head is malfunctioning, causing all sorts of problems, and the closest neurosurgeons might as well be a universe away. Thankfully, Eli has some new powers of his own, which he’ll need to defeat the many psychos, assassins, and monsters crossing his path.

3J and Pascale are back and file bankruptcy cases for six Kansas City jazz clubs that have somehow managed to survive the COVID pandemic. Now they must battle an unknown enemy who runs an anonymous disinformation campaign on social media to try to put the clubs out of business. Will they be able to stop the campaign in time to save the clubs and keep jazz alive in the city?

Admiral Robert O’Hara once commanded the Lunar Free State’s fleet, but he’s finding that leading the nation as Chief Executive requires different skills, as well as an entirely different mindset. The confrontation between the LFS and the Confederated Nations of Earth continues, but now it includes a race to build colonies on Xanadu, a competition that has strained Luna’s financial resources to the limit.

The alien race Akara have a secret; they've discovered the location of a planet that is home to a primitive human civilization, another ancient “seeding" of the legendary Progenitors. But, this planet lies in the territory of the Otuka, spacefaring alien predators who consider human flesh to be a delicacy and the planet to be their private hunting preserve. Unwilling to confront the Otuka, the Akara have passed the problem on to their human allies, the Lunar Free State. Now, the LFS needs to decide what to do about it.

It’s been ten years since the Lunar Free State established itself on Earth’s moon. Since then, other Earth nations have pushed into space, but - thanks to the advantages provided by its gravity-driven spacecraft - the LFS has continued to prosper. When the research ship LFS Stephen Hawking encounters an alien probe near Saturn, though, the craft leads Hawking on a chase before vanishing into hyperspace. Now the Lunar Free State must face two facts: The humans of Earth are not the only intelligent life in the universe, and travel to other star systems is possible.

Eli’s had a rough month, waking up in some strange world only to face cultists, bandits, and a 3-meter-tall demon. Now, he finds himself in a mysterious contest against other non-human practitioners in a fight to the death. To make matters worse, some psycho back on Lurra is setting himself up as a claimant to an extinct empire bent on enslaving the world with his monstrous powers.

The Confederated Nations of Earth and the Lunar Free State have fought each other for decades in the Sol system and out among the stars. They’ve never had an open declaration of war, but there have been battles in space at Odin, Sacagawea, and Rothstein’s star. Lunar Marines have clashed with Confed Peacekeepers on Ragnarok and Xanadu. When the British battlecruiser Prince of Wales suddenly shows up at Ragnarok, the LFS and CNE realize there’s a new player in the game.
