About this series
SOULFIRE…
The psychic ability that is the secret behind the tezarian method of interstellar navigation is being exposed. The world of Cho and its elite pilots face enemies from without and within, threatening to tear them apart. Palaton must learn to traverse politics as expertly as he once did FTL space—but his partner Rand is missing and his emperor Panshinea is descending into madness. Survival might be the only victory available to him.
Worse, a new drug called boost comes to Cho but will it be their salvation or their final doom?
As for Rand, captured for vengeance, he has little hope of freedom or rescue. He has given his all so that humans might qualify to join the Compact of races and worlds and now faces being buried alive. He must dare to believe in himself as Palaton once did—a near impossible feat—to free himself or the dead of Sorrow will claim him forever.

- Radius of Doubt: Patterns of Chaos, #1
1
FTL travel brings planetary systems together but with the cost of Chaos that no machine can navigate. Only the elite pilots or tezars of the Choyan race can reliably helm a starship. Palaton is one such pilot. Other races of the Compact would--and have--done almost anything to learn their secret. Palaton faces that danger as well as the strife and upheaval of his own planet Cho. Caught in a power struggle, he faces the inevitable burnout of his ability. He will turn to a secret experiment with a young civilization hoping to gain its own place among the stars, a race which calls itself "human".
- Path of Fire: Patterns of Chaos, #2
2
Palaton, one of the rare Choyan pilots born as a tezar, able to navigate starships through the chaos that faster than light speeds creates is facing burnout. Other races covet that ability and will do anything to learn and wield that power but tezars hold a tight monopoly…despite the high price they pay. Yet there may be hope for Palaton if he agrees to an experimental partnership with a new race trying to join the Compact, a race calling themselves humans. When he begins a link with the young male Rand, it is a beginning neither could anticipate. Yet as they navigate their bonding, Palaton must hide the truth even as his home world descends into deadly political games and perhaps a civil war. The tezar must uncover the mystery of his bloodline to survive the obstacles that face him, his bonded friend, and his world.
- The Downfall Matrix: Patterns of Chaos, #3
3
Interstellar war struck like lightning. The tezar Palaton knows it may well strike again The desperate choice made by Palaton and Rand to bond the tezar's psychic powers to cleanse them of burnout was meant to be temporary. Faster than light starship drives create a chaos only a tezar can navigate—and now that very ability may be threatening Palaton's very life. Those who helped initiate the experimental treatment are destroyed by an alien attack and political forces tear the pair apart. Palaton must deceive all those who depend upon him, as enemies draw close. Chosen unwillingly as the Emperor's heir, he must journey where Rand cannot follow. The young human falls prey to forces of civil unrest, as the Bringer of Change whose presence signals a new age or complete descent into the final Chaos of war among classes between those who have power and those who do not. Meanwhile, enemies in the Compact look eagerly to grasp whatever advantages and victories they can.
