The Capital Adventures Series

Orbital Strike Command, the Naval Elite, cybernetically enhanced and issued the best gear available with the express intent of suppressing unruly colonists for the glory of the Empire. Despite all that training, their strategies are made for humans.   Not whatever this is.   Aaron's no super soldier. He's just a convict, a lifetime tenant toiling his days away in the Empire's frontier labor camps. Aaron doesn't need body mods to hear the big beasts battering away at the colony wall. These creatures dig day and night, two tons of leather and bone sending violent tremors through the dry soil. They're coming, they're coordinated, vicious and relentless.   Which brings a desperate Navy to visit Aaron's squalid pit with a tempting offer. They need strong and willing bodies to man the Wall to fend off this horde, and they can give him what he and every other convict dreams of.   Serve a tour, and they can go free.   Nobody has any illusions. The convicts all know the bitter truth: they're not expected to survive. But Aaron starts to defy those odds, become a symbol to criminal and colonist alike.   The Empire cannot allow a symbol to take root...   GOODREADS REVIEWS "The main character is awesome, and the story is action packed!"

To get her back, Aaron seeks the help of pirate and smuggler Fiona McCorty.   Fiona lost her power, her station, and now a friend to Imperial guns. Blinded by revenge, all she wants is a clean shot at the man responsible.

Neither of them are ready for what they must face there.... ◆◆◆   Aaron's journey as a Capital concludes with this explosive chapter.

They're called Paladins.   They're not soldiers. They're zealots. Dogmatic, violent, and single-minded. The very best the Empire has to offer, completely removed from military oversight. They're trained to kill, augmented with the most extreme technology available to humanity. Paladins don't fail, they don't die. And they have only one goal: Slay the enemies of the Dunsweir. Thom, Osyen, and the crew of the Aurum are in for the fight of their lives. But what will it cost them to get out alive? *** Book Two in the Gold Service Trilogy kicks off with a bang, grabs hold and never lets go.

✯✯✯✯✯ -- "If Firefly had a meaner older brother, this would be it." The Capital Adventures shared universe expands with this new team of heroes. See another side of the conflict, on the far side of Imperial space. **** Miscreants, malcontents, degenerates, scoundrels. Sounds like a good time.   And it was until the crew of the small smuggler ship Aurum found themselves in the clutches of an Imperial Admiral. Captain Osyen thought going back to prison was as bad as it could get. Turns out the Navy has a job for his team, one only they could pull off.   Retrieve a mysterious and powerful artifact from the most dangerous sector of human-controlled space, rife with pirates and worse. Bring it back, and they'd have their slates wiped clean. Prison would almost be preferable to this suicide mission, but saying no might not be an option. And trust is in thin supply.   To make matters worse, a rogue Imperial officer seems dead set on ensuring they fail.   ◆◆◆   The Capital-verse just got bigger with this new series, The Gold Service. Join this colorful ensemble—a handsome conman, a snarky gunslinger, a cautious cyborg, a reckless bruiser, an aging mechanic, a disgraced royal, and their young cabin boy—in an adventure that reviewers have praised as "...full of twists, turns and back-stabbing" and "...filled a Firefly-shaped hole in my heart..."

Osyen Belt's mother is alive—and he's going to find her.   Literal brick and mortar obeys the Empire's will here on the planet city of Ilum. Entire buildings shift and slide to combat threats to law and peace. It is the epicenter of the Ministry of Peace. And they are not going to let a valuable asset fly away.   This is a criminal's worst nightmare...   But old enemies complicate their impossible rescue mission. Sinister crime lord Anze Orchikov is more than happy to ally with furious Admiral Hugh to make Osyen's heroic quest a fatal mistake.   Suddenly, Osyen and the gang are trapped between underworld and law enforcement. If any of them are to make it out alive, little Thom Hugh is going to have to confront his gift—and what it may mean for the future of the Aurum...   ◆◆◆   The journey of Thom Hugh & Osyen Belt comes to this thundering climactic confrontation that may change them from simple renegades into something much more...

Orbital Strike Command: They are Elite, Deadly, Loyal. But to the many who live under the Gnostic Empire, Oskies are better known as one thing. Monsters. ◆◆◆ Lt. Adrianna Riley was a good soldier, but she found life in the Navy's elite fighting force to be less heroic than she had dreamed of as a child. Her noble wish to slay the monsters no one else could, to rescue people from their war-torn homes, led her to volunteer for a lifetime of service. Not to a country or to a flag, but simply to defend the people who can't defend themselves. She never dreamed she'd become the monster everyone was afraid of. Her commanders gave her cybernetic augments, grafted motors to her bones and steel to her muscles. And they gave her one mandate: kill the enemies of the Empire wherever they hide. But an Empire's greatest weapon is not a soldier or a bomb—it's information. And when bad intelligence leaves Adrianna's strike team trapped behind enemy lines, she will have to use every tool of her trade to keep them alive. Even if it means becoming the monster that she swore she'd kill... The 1st Chapter of a New Trilogy in the Capital-verse begins with this super-soldier action/adventure.
