Psi Corps wants Matt, the most powerful psychic in generations. He's slipped through their fingers twice and escaped beyond the borders of the Terran Federation. But mere laws won't stop Psi Corps from coming after Matt. Psi Corps wants Michelle, Matt's wife and the key to controlling him. Trained as a bodyguard since birth, Michelle is the only reason Matt is still free. But no bodyguard can stop the full might of the most powerful government in known space. When a surprise attack almost catches them, Matt and Michelle realize they have nowhere to hide. They must take the fight to Psi Corps. To live free they must find Psi Corps' weakness and exploit it. They must be David to Psi Corps' Goliath. They must slay the giant or serve it. Slayer or slavery-there are no other options.

After two thousand years of isolation, the lost colony world of Aashla has reestablished contact with the rest of galactic civilization. Princess Callan of Mordan, and her royal consort, Terran Scout David Rice, were the people who made that happen. Now, they lead the mission to ensure that Aashla's unique culture is not overwhelmed by the galaxy-spanning Terran Federation. But on a routine inspection tour of Federation scientific outposts, Callan and David are horrified to find an abandoned camp and a mass grave. When an unnatural storm knocks their airship out of the sky, they're forced to confront their worst nightmare. Someone has smuggled forbidden galactic technology onto Aashla--and whoever they are, their trail of murder and destruction has only just begun...

Matt Connaught wants nothing more than to enjoy life with his new wife, Michelle, and to catch up on lost time with his parents, who were held captive for seven years. As a member of one of the wealthiest families in the Terran Federation, this should be easy. It's not. Because Matt is psychic. If anyone outside of his family discovers his secret, he'll be taken from his family and forced to serve in Psi Corps. When Federation agents come looking for him, Matt and Michelle have only one choice-to go on the run. But how can they hope to escape from Psi Corps, when the Corps has the full might of the Terran Federation behind it?

Captain Nancy Martin expects a lonely death. Passing out as her battle-damaged starfighter bleeds the last of its air, she comes to in the cavernous and deserted docking bay of an unknown starship. Leaving her crippled fighter to seek help, she finds she's been scooped up by a gigantic generation ship inhabited by the descendants of the original crew and passengers-people whose entire universe is the ship Mistaken for the vast ship's long-lost and near-mythical Captain, Nancy is welcomed as a savior. She believes she's found the allies she needs in her desperate fight for survival. But an even greater menace lurks in the shadows of the ship-one that controls every inch of the ship and every life aboard it. One that will stop at nothing to destroy-The Counterfeit Captain. Set in the same universe as Vogel's best-selling novel, The Fugitive Heir, The Counterfeit Captain further expands the stage for Vogel's exciting brand of star-spanning science fiction adventure.

"My parents are not dead "Everyone thinks I'm in denial, and have been ever since my parents vanished seven years ago. Everyone thinks I should just shut up, and accept the vast inheritance coming my way. Everyone thinks I should let it go, and get on with my life. Everyone is wrong. I know my parents are still alive-but if I reveal how I know, I'll be drafted into Psi Corps. But my inheritance can fund my search for them. I didn't count on deadly opposition from the board of the very company I'm about to inherit. There are powerful people involved who will go to extreme lengths to protect their dark secrets and silence me forever. But those people don't know about my three wildcards-my rebuilt spaceship, my best friend who doubles as my bodyguard, and the psychic powers I've kept secret my entire life. My parents are alive, and I'm going to find and rescue them-whatever it takes.

When Terran Scout David Rice climbs from the wreckage of his starship's escape pod, he finds himself transported from the space age to the steam age in the blink of an eye. Drawn to the sounds of fighting, David immediately throws himself into a desperate battle against overwhelming odds to save the life of a beautiful young princess. Now, marooned without hope of rescue, David is swept into a world of steam-powered airships, treacherous pirates, brutal savages, bloodthirsty monsters, royal machinations, and plots within plots, where matters of strength and honor are most often settled with the clash of swords. As he struggles to learn the strange ways of this new world and who he can trust, one thing becomes clear to him: he must put aside his growing feelings for Her Highness and do everything in his power to return her to her family, even though this means giving her up to the prince she's pledged to marry. Told in a relentlessly fast-paced and breathless style, SCOUT'S HONOR is an exciting modern homage to the classic tales of planetary romance made famous by writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs and Leigh Brackett, as well as the cliffhanger-driven energy of the early science fiction movie serials. If you like your heroes unabashedly heroic, your heroines feisty and true, and your plots filled with dangers, twists, turns, and double-crosses upon triple-crosses, you'll enjoy SCOUT'S HONOR.
