    About this series

    To rescue one man...
    The Royal Alliance reels in shock as the United Worker’s Legion spreads across industrial worlds, seemingly unstoppable. As ever more planets fall before the Legion’s expanding military machine, Alliance citizens are trapped behind enemy lines — including celebrity business mogul and weapons manufacturer Archibald Cross. If Cross is killed or captured, the true extent of the Legion’s might will go public, and panic will surely ensue. But how can the Alliance respond without alerting the dreaded Milipa Empire to its internal weakness, tipping the balance of power?
    The Alliance will risk thousands...
    In a desperate gamble, the Alliance assembles a crack strike force in secret to rescue Cross. The plan is simple enough: secure a series of bridges and a spaceport. With some of the most elite troops the Alliance has to offer, the landing force is confident, ready to deal the Legion a devastating blow and turn the tide of war against them.
    And fan the flames of civil war.
    But the Legion is more than a motley crew of disgruntled workers. Almost as soon as it begins, the Alliance rescue mission unravels into a savage fight for survival. Will the landing force save Cross and escape or face the bloody end their enemy has planned for them?

      Kim Morden should be elated. Not only has her fleet commander promoted her to captain, but he’s given her command of the RAS Verdun, a great honor for any up-and-coming officer, especially one whose career had such a rocky, deadly start. However, no honor can conceal Morden’s disappointment when she discovers that her first assignment will be a routine mission to search for missing cargo ships in Derek’s Triangle, a worthless, backwater sector outside Alliance control. Such a mundane mission is hardly appropriate for a ship of the line when the Milipa Empire is closing in around the Alliance, and Morden wonders whether command has forgotten or forgiven her past after all. Morden’s irritation grows when she discovers that her new second-in-command is none other than Emma Holsey, an old friend turned enemy. Morden hasn’t seen Holsey in ten years, but the hatred and blame between them flares back to life. Holsey fights Morden’s every decision, hell-bent on making her first mission as miserable as possible. But when the search takes a terrifying turn and uncovers a sinister threat in the Triangle, Morden and Holsey must put their personal feud on hold if they’re to stand any chance of getting themselves and their crew home alive...

      In the aftermath of battle... Captain Kim Morden and the crew of the RAS Verdun have triumphed over the Frontin in Derek’s Triangle, but at a heavy cost. They limp toward Kensington Station, a run-down supply outpost on a remote planet in Alliance space, to repair their battered ship and mourn their dead in safety. After all, what danger could lurk on a dump like Kensington? A new threat rises... But the thick forests of this sun-drenched backwater world hide more than just an Alliance supply depot. A new and nameless enemy lies in wait, its objectives inscrutable, its intent lethal. When a surprise attack forces Morden to leave the planet, she makes the agonizing choice to abandon Lt. Commander Jack Wilcox and the rest of the Verdun landing party on Kensington. Morden vows to return, but will Wilcox and his people survive? And victory will demand the ultimate sacrifice. Outnumbered, Wilcox’s party must join forces with the planet’s garrison, a small, elite unit of Alliance Rangers. They can only wait for the Verdun to rescue them, fighting the harsh terrain and a relentless foe in a ruthless battle for survival. But when the enemy gains control of a powerful weapon, it’s a race against time for Wilcox and his rag-tag team to strike back and disable it —or watch the Verdun’s rescue attempt end in a fiery massacre!

    I have been in love with science fiction since before I can remember. Consuming a steady diet of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Babylon 5, I filled my imagination with stories of adventure, courage, and heroism in outer space and on strange, unexplored worlds. Like any self-respecting American child, I turned entertainment into inspiration and spent countless hours drawing spaceships, creating heroes and villains, and putting them through many outrageous escapades with my two brothers, Alec and Benjamin. As I got older, I began to write these stories down. In middle school, while my peers were confiding to their diaries, I was keeping a Trek-inspired captain's log. Nerd? No, my friend. Dedicated.As a young man in high school and college, I began to wonder if I could take these stories to the next level and share them with others in the form of short stories or books. You see, if science fiction was one of my great loves, reading was another. Whether I was reading J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit, Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby, or Robert Heinlein's Tunnel in the Sky, I was happy if I had my nose buried in a book. I loved the ability of fiction to transport readers to exotic places and teach lessons about life. Could I combine my childhood adventures with my passion for reading and turn it into something worthwhile?While attending Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY, I developed my creative skills with a B.S. in Cinema and Photography, and graduated with a head full of stories and fierce determination to share them. Today, I write military science fiction novels while living and working in the beautiful, colorful state of Colorado. First Command, the first novel in my Line of Battle series, is the start of what I hope will be a long line of the kind of exciting books I always love to read. Of course, there's more to life than reading and writing. My other passions include photography, fine cooking, competition target shooting, military history, and hiking and camping with my friends and family in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.I love to hear from readers. You can reach me on my website, or you can connect with me on Facebook. Until then, happy reading!
