    About this series

    Zoe Goodwin wanted to start her career as an ensign in the Navy with a low-key mission. But with a raging invasion of AI starships in progress, pushing the Empire naval forces back at every battle, the handwriting is on the wall - humans will soon be obsolete.

     

    With the enemy attacking on all fronts, Zoe is assigned to a last-ditch mission to the Galaxy Core. Soon the young naval officer finds everything she knew about her history was built upon a lie. As the survival of her civilization becomes tied to her own, Zoe Goodwin realizes she must stand in defiance, prepared to give her life for the salvation of the Rim - or her entire civilization will go down in flames!

      A distant Star Empire ruled by ancient Amazon warriors, forgotten by Earth for 3,000 years. In the other direction, an implacable alien enemy, poised to destroy every human on Earth. A final warning from an AI starship, who just happens to like humans and makes damn good vodka screwdrivers. All dumped into the laps of Jake, Teresa, and Kirsten – three unlikely lovers. Now they must build a space navy from scratch - forge an alliance with an ancient matriarchy who shoots first and asks questions later – and prepare to fight a cruel and unmerciful enemy!   One path. One hope. One trio of humans. It's all on them!

      When the intelligent AI starship Pandora landed on Earth in 2121, Jake Hammett was thrust into a mad race to prepare humanity for the onslaught of a genocidal race of aliens – the ever-expanding Bat Empire, sure to discover Earth within the next 100 years.  After Pandora made changes to Jake's genetic structure to prevent aging, he is destined to live until the final battle with the Bats, with the job of leading humanity to survival.   By 2185 – 64 years after Pandora gave her warning to Earth – the RDF has grown to be a powerful space navy – but not yet strong enough to take on the Bat Empire. As the Bats move ever closer to humanity, Jake knows that only through an alliance with the ruthless matriarchy known as the Aeolian Empire is there any hope for Earth. Doing everything possible to prepare for the coming war, Jake has one ace in the hole…his secret visit to Aeolis forty-six years ago left him with a granddaughter. Will Princess Hecate of Aeolis be able to change the destiny of Earth?

      The enemy killed everyone on her ship. Except her. That was their mistake.   Forty years after the Battle of Orinoco, Orien Satra - son of Jake and Andrea - is the XO of a heavy cruiser in the Rim Defense Force. His sister Ligeia is the Prime Minister of RimFed; and Ligeia's daughter Miranda is a newly commissioned ensign on the distant scout ship Troublemaker. In a crazy-quilt pattern of war, treachery, and the razor's edge of survival, their destinies are about to smash together. Ambushed by a sinister enemy, the Troublemaker is destroyed. More than 1,100 lights from home, badly injured, alone in a lifeboat – somehow, Miranda survives. Little does the young ensign know her destiny holds the key to the future of the entire Rim - and the lives of billions!

    Phil Huddleston grew up barefoot and outdoors like Huckleberry Finn until he discovered books.  Thereafter, he read everything he could get his hands on, including reading the Encyclopedia Britannica and Funk & Wagnalls from A to Z multiple times.  He served in the U.S. Marines for four years, returned to college and completed his degree on the GI Bill.  Since that time, he attempted to assist his wife in raising two daughters, built computer systems, worked in cybersecurity, played in a band, flew a bush plane from Alaska to Texas, rode a motorcycle around a good bit of America and would like to do it all again.  Except without the mistakes.
