    About this series

    Valentinian and his friends never imagined being trapped underground with their worst enemies—the Widow and her crew.

    Above-ground, an entire tribe of sex-crazed cannibal mutants rampages, coming for their souls.

    Enemies must make deals with each other, planning for the inevitable double- and triple-crosses, as well as ferreting out the secrets of the long-forgotten vessel known as Princess Rualoh.

    Princess Rualoh—the sixth novel in the Shadow of the Dominion series—forges new deals and trickery between enemies as well as friends. And, oh yeah, maybe they’ll talk with each other as well.

    Be sure to read all the books in the series, starting with Longshot Hypothesis.

      Valentinian just wants to make a living hauling cargo between planets and stations. His new charter promises to be profitable, hauling an all-girl-band all over the Dominion. But trouble starts before they take off, and Valentinian has just hired a crewman with a shadowy past, big muscles, and the sort of military training that only the Dominator’s Elite Assault Cavalry wields. What else could possibly go wrong? Longshot Hypothesis—the first novel in the new series, Shadow of the Dominion—is a fresh take on space merchants, space marines, and oh, yeah, hired muscle. Be sure to be on the look-out for the other books in this series!
