When Sheriff Hayden Duke steps through a portal hunting the mysterious arms dealer known as the Marquise, he quickly realizes he just voluntarily entered Hell. Trapped in a deadly maze with Space Marine Caleb Card, they’ll need to rely on all of their individual strengths—and each other—if they want to survive. Demons stalk the corridors. Shifting walls hide deadly secrets. And somewhere in the darkness, a powerful enemy plays a game where the stakes are higher than anyone realizes.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Three days. That’s what they promised. But on Earth, the danger is unrelenting, and promises are hard to keep. Now Sheriff Duke is the one on the run, chased by an unexpected enemy eager to finish what they started. An enemy with an agenda that begins with killing him but ends with something worse. Much, much worse. Once the secret is out, the universe will never be the same.

A menacing wasteland. A destructive new weapon. A planet on the edge of catastrophe. Sheriff Duke can’t rest. There’s no time to slow down. The threats are unending. The enemy unyielding. If he wants to stop the apocalypse, he’ll have to cross a treacherous wasteland where the cannibals and murderers are the least of his worries, and the creatures infesting the landscape aren’t the most dangerous thing in his path. The race is on, the doomsday clock is counting down, and if he fails it will be more than his wife and child that are caught in the fallout. It’ll be the world.

When Thomas heard the cries for help, he didn’t hesitate to do the right thing. It was his chance for redemption. Until everything went wrong. The cave should have been deserted. The perfect place to hide. Instead, it’s crawling with soldiers and engineers working to unearth the impossible: Excalibur.

Returning to Avalyeth in hopes of saving Halvy, Thomas and the crew of Excalibur uncover a secret that could shake the foundations of the Druid order. Hidden beneath the forest canopy, dangerous alliances and forbidden technologies threaten to ignite a conflict that could spread far beyond the trees.

On an Earth decimated by war, a lone gunslinger delivers justice, protecting the innocent and righting the wrongs of a broken world. Some call him lawman. Some call him madman. Some call him vigilante. Some call him killer. Some call him legend.

From the mystical world of Avalyeth, Thomas’ journey will lead him and his growing crew into the heart of enemy territory, the halls of ancient dragons, and the path of knights who remember a time when hope still burned bright. Hunted by the Draconite and haunted by the past, they’ll need to risk everything to outmaneuver and overcome those who would see them destroyed.

The invaders are gone. Earth is in ruins. The strong prey on the weak. In the wastelands of what’s left, a lone gunslinger delivers his own brand of justice. Some call him lawman. Some call him madman. Some call him vigilante. Some call him killer. Some call him legend. They all call him...the Sheriff. This is his story.

Two hundred years ago, a fleet of colony ships left Earth and started a settlement on Proxima Centauri. Centurion Space Force pilot Nathan Stacker didn't expect to return home to find his wife dead. He didn't expect the murderer to look just like him, and he definitely didn't expect to be the one to take the blame. But his wife had control of a powerful secret. A secret that stretches across the light years between two worlds and could lead to the end of both. Now that secret is in Nathan's hands, and he's about to make the most desperate evasive maneuver of his life.

When a desperate search for answers leads Thomas to the isolated world of Ferraden, he discovers that Turquine's ambitions run deeper than anyone imagined. What began as a hunt for a rogue Draconite has become something far more dangerous. As the final pieces of an ancient puzzle fall into place, Thomas will learn that some battles can't be won with starships and swords. Some enemies require a different kind of courage entirely.

Captain Mitchell "Ares" Williams is a space marine and the hero of the Battle for Liberty whose shot heard 'round the universe saved the planet from a nearly unstoppable war machine. He's handsome, charismatic, and the perfect poster boy to help the military drive enlistment. Pulled from the war and thrown into the spotlight, he's as efficient at charming the media and bedding beautiful celebrities as he was at shooting down enemy starfighters.

When Ben bought Head Case, he never imagined that he would not only survive cancer, but somehow become a hero in a galaxy sorely in need of a few. But after saving the galaxy, what comes next? If you’re Ben…boredom, followed by a wedding, followed by angst. What’s a space wizard to do? Save the galaxy again, of course!

In the year 2050, Earth makes first contact. By 2052, the war is over. We lose. Soon after the generation starship Pioneer leaves Earth's orbit, the ship is struck by a rogue asteroid. At first, Captain Tyson Grant believes the accident is minor. But when a by-the-book investigation of the damage ends in disaster, he realizes he was wrong.

Ben never thought owning a starship would be easy. He didn’t expect it to be quite like this. It was one thing to take a job as a smuggler to pay for basic necessities like maintenance, fuel, and food. Another to have one of the most powerful nobles in the galaxy gunning for him at every turn. But when Keep turns up unexpectedly with a new offer that’s even wilder than the last, will it put him on the path toward his true destiny? Or is it just another con?

Thomas has faced impossible odds since becoming Excalibur's captain. His greatest challenge still lies ahead. The line between hope and destruction has never been thinner. When an unexpected ally brings Thomas and his battle-worn crew back from the brink of defeat, they find themselves racing against time, desperate to return to the fight before the Draconite can strike a final, devastating blow.

When the going gets tough, Sheriff Duke gets tougher. He’ll have to if he’s going to survive long enough to see justice done. The monsters infecting the forgotten Earth don’t sleep, and neither can he. There’s no time to rest. There’s no time to recover. The clock is ticking, the stakes are rising, and if he fails it’ll be more than his wife and child that are caught in the fallout. It’ll be the whole world.

Ben knows that if he’s going to make it as a starship captain, something’s got to give. After another unexpected run-in with Mr. Keep, he’s ready to accept that he can’t avoid his fate forever. But the first step is a doozie, and he isn’t exactly starting out on the best footing. He has more to lose than his starship or his life. A lot more. Buying the starship was business. This is personal.

Ben returns to the Spiral with Keep, eager to reunite with his ship and crew. With the true danger to the galaxy in greater focus, he knows what needs to be done. When an unexpected meeting becomes more than he bargained for, he thinks he’s being sidetracked yet again. Except his new acquaintance hates Sedaya even more than he does, and she has a plan to get even.

They built an alliance to challenge gods. Now they must prove it was enough. The assault on Shub'Nigu begins—a desperate strike into darkness where Hayden and Caleb will discover just how much victory truly costs. Some will pay the ultimate price. Others will carry scars that never heal. And waiting in the shadows, Iagorth grows stronger. Every war demands sacrifice. This one may demand everything.

The Deliverance has arrived. The planet is beautiful, lush, teeming with life and perfectly suited to the colony’s needs. It should be a paradise. Instead, it’s a nightmare. Caleb knows the truth. The ship’s real mission has nothing to do with settlement. The plan is much more sinister than that. Now the race is on to prepare for the coming storm, to secure the colony, and find the enemy before the enemy finds them.
