Star Ascension Series

One cheeseburger, with a side of armageddon.   Driving his vintage Jeep down a lonely highway in the New Mexico desert, Chris, an ordinary guy with a horrible boss, makes a terrible mistake. He stops at a roadside burger shack for lunch. Disaster ensues. He barely escapes with his life. And, unknown to him, something else.   Now Earth military, mercenaries, and three races of aliens are hunting him.   All of them gunning for a power that will determine the fate of Earth. Along with the fate of six alien races locked in a simmering conflict that threatens to break out into all-out war.   A power that could unlock incredible technological secrets of a long dead alien race. A power Chris must learn how to control. A power he must learn how to use if Earth is to survive.   First, Chris must figure out who his real friends are.   Right now, everyone looks like the enemy.   The wild and funny first novel in the Star Ascension series.

Revenge is a cold companion.   Buck DeHaas has strong opinions about the weird, three-eyed aliens that made first contact with Earth. Aliens that "came in peace and friendship", they told everyone.   A few years before, a much different kind of alien made contact with twelve year old Buck DeHaas. A blue-skinned, orange-eyed, tentacles-sprouting-from-the-head kind of alien. These aliens came in secret. Their intentions had no relation to "peace and friendship". Not at all.   Young Buck managed to escape those jerks. They haven't been seen since. But he hasn't forgotten what they did. He's a man who never lets go of a grudge.   Now Buck's on a one man holy war to get all the aliens off Earth.   Even better, make them all dead.   When the beat-up alien ship lands at super secret military base Area 53 in New Mexico, Buck smells opportunity.   He soon finds out hate might not be enough.   Getting what he wants might be the last thing he needs.   To save his fellow humans he must make a sacrifice.  Of something more precious to him than even his life.   The second twisting adventure in the Star Ascension series.

Chris and Liz arrive on a desperate mission to explore a dead world. What they find could change the universe.   Earth has powerful enemies. It needs powerful weapons to defend itself. Alien races, the Don and the Ponohejon are planning to destroy humanity. Earth military and scientists cobble together a space craft from two different alien ships. They give it an experimental faster than light drive that none of the other alien races have.   They entrust this precious vessel of incalculable value to two civilians. And one spy. Sending them to a long extinct alien race's home world.   Two thousand years ago, the world of Dendon was home to the most advanced race in the galaxy.   Someone murdered them.   An entire race. An entire world.   The alien races of SixUnion declared the planet forbidden to all.   Now Earth's only hope may be a dangerous mission to find Dendon's most powerful weapons.   Both Chris and Liz carry pieces of ancient Dendon technology within them. Will it give them the edge to face down what awaits on the forbidden world?   The people of Dendon may be dead.   Their technology isn't. Not at all. It still protects a dead world of dust and wind and empty buildings.   The secrets of a long dead alien race await in the third adventure in the Star Ascension series.

A dead world may be their only hope to save everything.   The DeHaas brothers are deep in trouble. Again.   The inheritors of the long dead Dendon race's technology, Chris and Liz, have vanished. And with them, the only hope humanity has of surviving the vengeance of a vicious alien race.   Buck and Roy must race against time to find Chris and Liz. A hunt that takes them across a hostile galaxy into the heart of the old Dendon empire.   The DeHaas brothers have more at stake than just humanity, though.   Failure would cost them something more precious than all the gold in the galaxy.   This fight is personal.   Buckle up for another star spanning adventure in the Star Acension series.

In space, your family can still drive you crazy.   Aliens stealing railroad cars full of oil? That turned out to be the least of Roy DeHaas's problems.   Having a brother waging a holy war against aliens? That was the real problem.   Roy's Mama always told him to look out for his big brother, Buck. Which somehow got him riding on top of a crude oil stinking rail car in the middle of a Montana back country blizzard. Looking out for his big brother. Who was looking for whoever had been stealing oil filled railroad cars.   Buck thought it was aliens. Roy thought Buck was crazy.   Until the aliens dropped out of the sky and plucked the entire train off its tracks. With a smug Buck and a terrified Roy hidden in a secret compartment.   Now Roy's off on the adventure of his life. One likely to be the end of his life. Because everything keeps going from bad to worse.   Ripped from his simple life on Earth, Roy finds his way to the depths of the most hostile alien territory around.   Will Roy be the cause of an interstellar war? Or the one who stops it?   The amazing fourth book in the Star Ascension series.

The galaxy stands at the brink of war. A mysterious, reclusive alien race holds the key to stopping it.   They don't want to.   Roy DeHaas must get to the Tann home world. A powerful alien race no one has ever seen face to face.   Turns out, getting there is the easy part.   Getting out might not be possible.   The Tann have their own plans for the coming war. And they have an ally that will shock Roy down to his core.   If he can't stop them, everyone and everything he loves is doomed.   But there's one thing the Tann don't know. A DeHaas never gives up.   Especially when his family is at stake.   The next thrilling chapter in the Star Ascension series.

A case of mistaken identity? Not at all.   A vicious alien race has a secret weapon to use against humanity:   Roy DeHaas.   Turns out to be quite the surprise to Roy.   Roy finds himself on the run. Chased by every race in the galaxy. Including his own. Somehow he's started a war. Waves of alien warships are bearing down on Earth.   The two most powerful people in the galaxy could stop them.   They won't.   Instead, they dump humanity's fate on Roy.   Now he has to play cat and mouse with a fiendishly clever alien who thirsts for vengeance against humanity.   Roy's in way over his head. Nothing new there. But this time the entire human race depends on his finding a way out of this mess. He'll never give up. But persistence might not be enough this time. He can't do it alone. Can he pull everyone together in time?   An epic chapter in the Star Ascension series.
