Military Space Opera

Testing the limits of a mage can be a very bad idea. Bud’s been mainly sitting the Keerah War out so far. He once sent billions home across two galaxies for a day with a single errant angry thought. So he’s kept his focus on supervising the trainers of new mages. However, the war keeps drawing him in. A bit of magic here, a bit more magic there. And then they found enslaved mages, but it was a dragon thing, and not his responsibility. But genocide is another matter, and he can’t let that stand. But others can, and have, and they’re blocking him from doing what he feels is right. The...

Lyla Cowan never understood what happened. One moment she was leading a squadron, the next she was waking up in a care unit with people angry at her.

Things seem to be getting even more chaotic, but it keeps her occupied. And dare she admit it, happy. But at the back of her mind is always the niggling doubt. Doubts about herself, and how she was undone once, without knowing why, or if it could happen again. Is the reason she can’t accept being ...

Life heading up the largest mercenary company in human space is simply Unreal.

She started this path as a lowly paid mercenary. Now she’s running the third largest militia in the League of Worlds. The Unbound became bound. To each other, and to the work. But the work is changing, and change begun cannot be stopped. Sometimes to continue on, you must first ...

A grotesque emblem is embossed over the jacket's breast pocket—a roaring lion's head surrounded by a cluster of jagged broken bones—the symbol of the Special Operations Service. There is no way out. The ship is taking off because they think an elite SOS captain is on board to...
