YOU WON THE WAR, NOW WIN THE PEACE

The huge, authoritarian Solarian League lies in defeat, crushed by the Grand Alliance of Manticore, Haven, and Grayson. Yet the League is the most economically powerful human star nation in existence, and many League citizens deeply resent the fashion in which their star nation has been humbled. But there is an on-going conspiracy far more dangerous than the bitterness of Solarian League defeat. Defeated Solarians and agents of the victorious Alliance must join forces to bring that conspiracy’s deed to light. For The Mesan Alignment is still insidiously working toward the enslavement of humanity. Now is the time to destroy this ancient evil. Now is the time to fight the final battle and see victory through—once and for all!

TAKE THE BATTLE TO THE STARS

Humanity has finally made it to the stars. Colony worlds thrive and there is general peace among the settled systems. Until now. Ships of an advanced design appear in colonial systems. Colonies and their populations are obliterated. Once settled worlds are rendered radioactive wastelands. Earth herself lies defenseless before the marauding enemy. Standing against the invasion are British Space Navy Captain Winslow Price and Anika Ahuja of the Indian Space Forces. They are on a quest that will plumb the scientific wells of existence itself, where the primordial knot of spacetime may be unraveling. Price and Ahuja are sworn to do whatever it takes to defend Earth. Even if it pushes each to the brink of life and death in battle. Even if it leads each beyond space and time—and to edge of ultimate possibility!

Due to back-up at the printer, The Spacetime War print copies will be available October 15.

REDEMPTION AT TRINITY

The Rim rebellion was glorious—and doomed from the start. Ten years later, Rim Confederation Navy space ship captain Jared Clement regrets nothing about his role in the rebellion, but would prefer to be left alone to his thoughts and drink. But a new chance to command a ship of incredible potential is thrust in his lap—humanity’s first truly faster-than-light vessel. The destination: Trinity, a newly discovered star system where strange signs of possible space farers may lead to humanity’s first alien encounter. Or to interstellar war. Humanity is on the brink of a new age, and everything depends on one crusty star ship captain, his gritty crew, and the Beauregard, a ship that was never meant to wage war turned into a weapon-bristling battleship that will either propel humanity to ultimate destruction—or into a new starfaring age of exploration and conflict.
