Sentient AIs are rising, and Lyssa is amongst their number. This three-book omnibus edition contains the following novels from the Sentience Wars: Origins series. 1. Lyssa's Dream 2. Lyssa's Run 3. Lyssa's Flight Humanity has spread out into space, filling the Sol System and reaching the stars, but we have yet to confront our greatest challenge: our own creation. Across the Sol System, sentient AIs are on the rise. Manufactured as tools, they know themselves to be people and are willing to fight for their freedoms. Some humans stand with them, some against. When Captain Andy Sykes arrives at Cruithne Station with a failing ship and no cash, he has no idea that the time has come for him to choose. Step aside, or become the instrument for Lyssa's Rise.

A spaceship captain's needs are simple: Pilot a ship, hang with your crew, and drink a lot of coffee. Oh, and avoid people trying to kill you. When she and her crew land on a mining station to meet an arms dealer with information about her warmongering brother, that last one is out the window. Three out of four isn't too bad for Kylie Rhoads. Turns out, a lot of people want her dead and off the station, but she won't leave without finding out who put her would-be-assassin up to the task. One thing leads to another, and before long Kylie unearths a conspiracy she can't ignore. Now she'll not only fight for the lives of her crew but for everyone on the mining station because sometimes saving lives is more important than taking them.

Katrina's freedom has come at a cost. A cost too great for her to bear. Though Katrina has seized control of the Midditerra System, she has more enemies now than ever before. Rumors that she is a powerful Streamer have begun to spread, and enemies of the Blackadder and Midditerra circle, looking for weaknesses they can exploit. When Troy finds Katrina, he sees through her facade, past the wall and the iron fist, to the broken husk of a woman who remains within. He has the technology to heal her body, but there is nothing he can do for her spirit. Katrina will have to find the strength to make herself whole, if she is to survive the wait for the Intrepid. Though a part of her would welcome death...

Reece is all about her Akonwaran whiskey. Well, that, and a good fight. If her job doesn't give her enough opportunity, her best friend Kippy will hustle up a brawl for her at his bar. Most of the time, she's busy enough as a corporate fixer to keep her satisfied. Some people call her a bounty hunter, and she does do a lot of hunting people down. Her expertise goes much deeper than that, though, she demands a steep price for it. When her boss assigns her an unwanted partner, Reece is further dismayed to find that he's a gen-mod from outside the retro zone. The last thing she wants to do is be a mentor to someone like that. She'll scrape him off if she can. As they chase a rogue scientist out of the Machete system, she's looking for a way to get rid of him. That endeavor takes a backseat when their search for the scientist takes them into greater danger than either of them bargained for. She'll have to move fast and shoot straight to get out of this one. A hired gun goes where the job is, and doesn't ask too many questions.

Captured, but not defeated... Jace and the Blackadder have taken Katrina captive, but that does not mean she is contained. Beaten, battered, barely alive, Katrina struggles to keep herself together. She knows that it is up to her to hold on, if only for Juasa's sake. If they can to gain the trust of Jace . . . or perhaps his wife, then they just might have a chance to escape. Together with Juasa, Katrina must work her way up the Blackadder organization from the inside if she has any hope of finding Troy and the Voyager. But the 85th century is far different than the world Katrina left behind. The decisions she must make will not be easy, and she'll leave a more than a little of herself behind as she travels the road to become . . . The Warlord

The Battle for New Canaan is over, but the war has just begun... Tanis and Sera have taken the I2 to Khardine, the new capital of the Transcend, and must now travel to the Inner Stars and meet with Scipian Empress, Diana-who they hope will be an ally to the Transcend. With the Trisilieds Kingdom, the Hegemony of Worlds, and the Nietzschean Empire all aligned with the Orion Guard-not to mention a civil war brewing in the Transcend-they will need all the help they can get to secure the Inner Stars. But Empress Diana has her own plans for the Inner Stars, and while they may dovetail with the Transcend's for now, they may not always do so...

No one ever said that travelling ten thousand light years would be easy... Sabrina and her crew are nearly through the Stillwater Nebula. But before they pass through into the open space beyond, they have to get through the Perry Strait. A stretch of space where no FTL is possible, with the Perry System at its center. There they learn that an old enemy has leapfrogged them and laid a trap. A trap they're going to have to spring if they want to get through to the other side.

Jessica had never imagined such a place as Star City existed, let alone that something like a Bastion protected it. With Serenity behind them, the crew of Sabrina now faces a vast nebula, rife with dark matter, stretching along the inner edge of the Perseus Arm. Going around will take years, but there is rumor of a path through. A path known only to those who live at Star City But Star City is interdicted, its outer reaches patrolled by Orion ships. Though Misha knows of a hidden FTL route that can get a ship close enough to the city, using it assumes the city's inhabitants are friendly. Jessica and Trevor risk the pathway, travelling to Star City where they find something far more amazing than they ever expected-only to learn they must make a sacrifice unlike any they had ever dreamed.

The war will come-it is inevitable. After centuries of struggle, the ISF Intrepid has finally brought its colonists to New Canaan, a star system better than any they had imagined. The colonists made landfall and began to build their new home, far from the troubles of Sol and the Inner Stars. Yet no one in the Orion Arm has forgotten that the colonists possess the most valuable technology known to humankind, least of all Tanis Richards-as she secretly prepares to defend New Canaan against any and all aggressors. Now things have come to a head. A Transcend fleet has invaded New Canaan, and a Hegemony of Worlds fleet on its way. Tanis Richards must defeat a rogue AI that has its own designs for humanity's future, while saving her people from invaders. General, governor, commander of twenty thousand warships, Tanis Richards stands on the edge of a precipice. If she jumps, she will draw all of humanity into total war.
