- Battleship: Leviathan
1
A derelict warship, ancient but still alive. A small team of humans fighting for all humanity. Built for a time when the races were just finding their way to the stars, finding that they could dominate others. The galactic conquests created the arms race and the ancients, the Progenitors had to protect their own. They built a ship to drive the others away. It worked. And it didn't. The Progenitors abandoned the galaxy to the newcomers, leaving relics behind as monuments to their failure. Humanity spread to the stars and ran headlong into the established races. A new war begins, and no one conducts war better than humanity except for the Blaze Collective. The two go head-to-head while humanity frantically searches for something to give them an advantage. Ancient technology. The derelicts scattered across the galaxy. Gutted and useless. Except for one, hidden in plain sight, close to Earth. Major Declan Payne takes his team aboard to find that the ship is no derelict, and it needs him as much as humanity needs it. Battleship: Leviathan. A Doomsday Weapon whose only goal is peace.
- Leviathan's War
2
One ship stood against many in a war that has lasted a thousand years . . . The Blaze are getting their direction and technology from those who had driven the Progenitors from the galaxy. The Vestrall. Leviathan takes his select humans to the frontlines in Earth's war with the Blaze Collective to collect intelligence on where to find the Vestrall. The Blaze aren't forthcoming. They go farther, a thousand light-years behind enemy lines to a planet that used to be important. It's no longer the home of the Vestrall but of a biomechanical race that is little more than drones. Payne is convinced that their information will lead Leviathan to the heart of the Vestrall for a final battle for primacy. But they won't give their knowledge easily. Their gods have commanded them to fight. Because they carry a secret the Vestrall don't want Leviathan to know.

Peace is earned, not given. Aliens are seizing planets at the edge of Berantz space. Earth Fleet sends an armada to investigate. They're never heard from again. Word reaches the Vestrall home planet of the encroachment. Declan Payne knows what has to be done-convince Leviathan to investigate. Peace through superior firepower, through the threat of annihilation. But Lev is retired. And so is Payne and his team. The choice is taken out of their hands. Join Declan Payne and his team as they return to a new front in a never-ending war to keep humanity safe.
- Leviathan's Last Battle
3
The Vestrall fight back, but Leviathan stands in their way. And Major Payne opens a new front in the war. His goal is nothing less than turning the Vestrall's allies against them to bring peace to the galaxy. The Vestrall exist, and they have secrets. The war will continue because it suits them. Humanity must confront the real enemy. They must win or the war will continue for another thousand years. There's only one ship that can do what needs to be done. Leviathan goes on the offensive, traveling deep into Vestrall space to find them and eliminate their ability to make war. An attack the likes of which the galaxy has never seen. One last battle to determine humanity's fate.

The Ga'ee escaped, but aren't on the run. They are coming back, and when they return, it'll be with a vast armada of ten-kilometer-long ships with millions of drones. Next time would be for real. The invasion would mean the end of all life. Earth Fleet must rally the seven races. And Declan Payne and his team are at the front of the fight as Leviathan goes to war. While goliaths wrestle, the galaxy's fate hinges on the decisions of a small group of people putting their lives on the line for those who won't.
