Feared by monsters. Envied by men. Craved by women. Kaeden is a nomad who lives life on his own terms. He prefers the unbounded steppe over a cramped city, and allegiance to the sword over fealty to a king. When he does make the occasional foray into civilization, it is to procure cold mead, a hot bath, and a good woman. The latter preferably for an hour or less. Life is great, until his wanderings bring him to a forest inhabited by nightmares. There, trapped beneath those lightless eaves, he is forced to ally with a mysterious woman whose cunning and beauty could prove to be his downfall. Either way, one thing is certain: if he is to die, then he will do so covered in the blood of his enemies. Note: this book contains violent scenes, unconventional thinking, and harem elements.

Rade and his team are sent to investigate a disturbance on a Sino-Korean colony. Apparently, someone tipped off the Sino-Koreans, because the moment his team lands they find themselves under attack. Separated from his men, he discovers the source of the disturbance, and witnesses the release of an ancient, alien power. When that power focuses its wrath on the colony's civilians, Rade must decide whether he will gather his platoon and intervene, or retreat to fight another day. Staying could mean the loss of all his men. But if he runs, thousands of innocents could die. Follow Rade's adventures in this sequel to the best-selling Mech and Mech 2

An alien-infested colony. A trapped platoon. The one man who will stop at nothing to lead his unit to safety. Rade Galaal and his team of special operators are deployed to a colony under attack by a strange new alien race. Their mission: find the extraterrestrial base and destroy it. The operation should be easy, given that his men pilot Brigand mechs: massive, 25-foot-tall war machines armed to the teeth with electrolasers, rockets, incendiary throwers, and more. But it's not easy. Rade and his team soon find themselves in over their heads. Surrounded by an entire world of enraged aliens, they must rely on their wits, their training, and their mechs to survive. Because their only way out is each other.

Rade and his team have been sent deep behind enemy lines. Their mission: capture a high-ranking Sino Korean official and escape to the extract zone before all hell breaks loose. They almost make it. But then aliens decide to show up. Now Rade and his team are fighting not just for their lives, but for the lives of every man, woman and child on Earth. Not that Rade minds: he lives for this. Featuring the new Jupiter class of mechs--fearsome war machines equipped with experimental plasma cannons known as stingrays, capable of delivering thrice the stopping power of a typical heavy laser. Enemies of humanity, you have been warned.

Malem is emperor. He has an army of monsters at his command, and a harem of beautiful women at his beck and call. He should be happy. And yet he is restless. He yearns for the nomadic existence he left behind... the laid-back days spent roaming the countryside, sleeping under the stars, free of the burdens of rule. Careful what you wish for... When an old friend flees Malem's kingdom, bringing with him the secret to escaping the demon that binds Malem forever, our restless emperor must pursue. Unfortunately, this particular friend is not what he seems, and when Malem finally catches him, the man might just bring Malem's world crashing down around him. Quite literally. Sometimes, even emperors have bad days.

An impossible enemy. A fleet surrounded. One AI's struggle to save his machine brothers and sisters--and humanity itself--from complete destruction. Jain and his fleet of elite AI warships hurry to Earth's defense when an alien empire known as the Link stages an all-out attack. Though his fleet is equipped with the most powerful weapons tech ever developed, with enough firepower to raze an entire moon base, even Jain's mighty vessels prove no match for the enemy. When unexpected allies show up, the tide seems to turn in his favor. But will it be enough? Perhaps. The aliens were expecting to find a race of organics barely out of the stone ages. It must have come as quite a shock when they realized they faced a budding AI Empire. Book one of a full-length military science fiction trilogy, The Link ends in a cliffhanger. Book two, The Alliance, will be available next week.

Once upon a time, the galaxy was at peace. All the spacefaring races lived in harmony and shared their resources. Interstellar Conflict was a thing of the past. And then the Link came. In the hundred years since, the galaxy has known only war. But now humanity's Mind Refurbs have forged an alliance not only amongst themselves, but with several former Link members. Jain and the Void Warriors, Eric and the Bolt Eaters, and Jason and the War Forgers have joined forces with the Banthar, the Tyrnari, and the Mimics. They intend to bring the fight to the Link. If they win, humanity will be part of a new galactic hegemony, leading an empire built upon peace. If they fail, Earth will be blown back to the stone ages. Assuming it survives at all.

The war against the Link Empire continues. Jain and the Void Warriors struggle to secure the allegiance of the Banthar and Tyrnari. Without these key alien allies, the war will be lost, as humanity lacks the resources to face the empire alone. Unfortunately, the Link has no intention of allowing humanity to form such an alliance, and the leaders of the malevolent empire will do everything in their power to subvert him. It's going to take some sly political maneuvering on Jain's part to see the alliance through. Not to mention a few well-placed plasma blasts. Book two of a full-length military science fiction trilogy, The Alliance ends in a cliffhanger. Book three will be available next week.

Three women. One man. A whole lot of monsters. Malem is a Breaker. He breaks the minds of beasts, exerting the steel vise of his will over their own, bending them to his wishes. His ability is severely limited in terms of the types of creatures he can control, and how many. Most monsters have always been beyond him. And then one day he accidentally breaks a monster girl. Doors begin to open for him faster than he thought possible... Note: this book contains harem elements. The main character certainly isn't shy around women, and the magic system is unique in ways you might not expect. Also, the story can get a tad dark in places.

Malem has joined the forces of good and wages war against the vast host of Vorgon, the Balor who has come to destroy the world. Malem has four beautiful women fighting at his side, one of them a former general of Vorgon's army--a night elf tamed by his unique skill. He also has a few hill giants and other monsters ready to follow him to the gates of hell itself. But it's not enough. The army of Vorgon stands poised to defeat the defenders. Despite Malem's powers, and the unique magic and abilities his lovely companions bring to the table, the enemy has the advantage when it comes to sheer numbers: Vorgon's host stretches from horizon to horizon as far as the eye can see, painting the fields black. Worst of all, he's still hunted by the Darkness: a curse laid upon him by Vorgon's predecessor. Its ghostly hands are always trying to drag him down to the underworld at the worst of times. He's been running from the Darkness his entire life. But now, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, that running must stop. It's time to stand and fight. It's time to face the Darkness. And save the world. Note: this book contains harem elements.

Jain thought he'd never go back. Ten years had passed since he last had dealings with humans and their machines. He was happy. He'd built a base for himself and his Void Warriors around the barren moon of a gas giant, where they planned to live out their immortal days in peace. And then humanity came looking for them. Hunting them. Now they have no choice but to return. But what they find waiting for them in human territory will make them wish they'd never left their new home.

A fleet of warships operated by the digitized minds of former humans. An unknown enemy lurking in the dark of space. The one man who hopes to conquer them both. Jain was the lieutenant commander of an elite SEAL team. He was accustomed to order and discipline, which he used to give the men under his command that particular brand of killer instinct his unit was known for. But one day that semi-comfortable, ordered life ended when he opened his eyes to find his body replaced by a starship. His mind had become its AI core. He is somewhere in deep space. Most of his systems are badly damaged. He has no memory of how he got here, or what his mission is. Evidence points to an attack by an unknown entity. He finds other damaged vessels in the vicinity and reactivates them. They, too, have no memory of the events leading up to their current situation. Jain, thrust into a leadership role, soon learns that commanding a fleet of starships isn't all that different from leading a platoon of SEALs. It helps that his database is chock-full of tactics and military strategies gleaned from every space battle humanity has ever fought. As he and his fleet explore their surroundings and slowly piece together what happened to them, they realize their attacker is not from any human system. And that any misstep means not only the loss of his fleet, but potentially all of humanity itself.
