Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the starship Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him. He's got a long way to go before he can rest.How can he when the entire world is under siege? By demonic aliens.By a brutal thug who calls himself King.By an unknown and powerful threat that may be responsible for the end of humankind.The road may be long. The odds may be bad. The stakes may be high.You can't keep a good Sheriff down.

Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the generation starship Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him.He expects to die any second.He's made it Outside in pursuit of Natalia. He's survived attacks from demonic aliens, cannibalistic soldiers, and even the people he thought were his friends.Barely.Outcast. Forsaken. He has only one goal: Find his wife. Survive another second. Another breath. Never give up. Never stop fighting until she's back in his arms.Because demons run when a good man goes to war

Some things are better off FORGOTTEN.Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the Pilgrim, and he expects to die on the Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him.That's the way things are on a Generation starship centuries from home. He's never questioned it. Never thought about it. And why bother? Access points to the ship's controls are sealed, the systems that guide her automated and out of reach. It isn't perfect, but he has all he needs to be content. Until a collision sends his wife to the edges of the habitable zone to inspect the damage.Until she contacts him, breathless and terrified, to tell him she found a body, and it doesn't belong to anyone on board.Until Hayden arrives to inspect it and discovers his wife is gone.The only clue? A bloody handprint beneath a hatch that hasn't opened in hundreds of years.Until now.

Conor Night, the world's only necromancer, has finally learned what it means to be the world's only necromancer. It's a lesson he wishes he had never received, because thanks to him an ancient wizard with an apocalyptic agenda is back in business, ready to finish cleaning house. Even worse? He's the only one who can stop it. He's been living on a roll of the dice for years, but the stakes have never been higher, and the outcome never so clear: To save the world, he has to die.

Queenie is pissed.You would be too if you had been blamed for something you didn't do, given something you didn't want, and changed into something else.She still isn't even quite sure what that else is. The one thing she does know?Things are getting messy, and this is only the beginning.Gant is gone, Captain Mann has been captured, her so-called team is ready to make a run for the stars, and she's pretty sure the Gift that saved her life is no gift at all.Even worse? The enemy didn't just steal the two most powerful starships in the galaxy; they're building a whole damn fleet of the things.The Rejects are back, the mission is on, and failure is not an option.Long live the Queen

The most powerful starships ever constructed are taken. Thousands are dead. A fleet is in ruins...Lieutenant Abigail Cage never expected to find herself in Hell. There was a time when she was one of the most respected soldiers in the military. Now she's doing hard labor on the most miserable planet in the universe.Not for long.The Earth Republic is looking for the most dangerous individuals it can control. The best of the worst, and Abbey is one of them. The mission is simple. Find the missing ships and kill the traitors who stole them. It's most likely suicide, but she has nothing to lose.There's only one problem...A new evil is rising in the galaxy. One with a power unlike anything anyone has ever seen. One that's been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time.And they want Abbey too.

A new beginning...A final battle for the fate of humankind...A future on the edge of infinity...Colonel Mitchell "Ares" Williams has been through it all, the story of his life an eternity in the making. He's brought the starship Goliath back home in a shrewd maneuver that could turn the tide of a war that he has fought beyond forever, restoring those that were lost and giving him a second chance to change the fate of humankind.A chance to destroy the Tetron for good.But as Mitchell soon discovers, the more things have stayed the same, the more they've changed, and he isn't the only one who's been waiting for this time to come...

After being saved from annihilation by the Old Gator's daring plan, Gabriel and the crew of the Magellan find themselves in the most unlikely of places: a captured enemy starship. While learning to control the alien vessel introduces a new set of challenges, the secrets they discover within may prove to be the edge they so desperately need. With the rebellion on Earth rushing headlong toward a final, last-ditch battle and the remainder of the alien armada standing between them and home, it will take all of their strength, courage, and ingenuity to destroy the enemy once and for all.Before the enemy destroys them.

A memory recovered.A weapon forged.A showdown an eternity in the making. Colonel Mitchell "Ares" Williams has won battles before. So while the recovery of the eternal engine and the emergence of a powerful new ally have given him hope that he can save humanity from enslavement and annihilation, he knows the war against the Tetron is far from over, and victory far from assured.When a mission gone sideways finds the Riggers cut off and the enemy closing in, Mitchell has no choice but to forget about strategy and improvise, risking everything in a last-ditch effort to bring the starship, Goliath, back where it belongs.Because if he doesn't, there won't be any battles left to win.

In the year 2280, an alien fleet stole our Earth.For fifty years they hunted us.For fifty years they enslaved us. For fifty years we lived in fear.Nothing lasts forever.They can try to quell us.They can try to break us. They can chase us to the ends of the Earth.They can chase us to the ends of the Universe.We've won our first battle. We've earned our first taste of hope.What was theirs will soon be ours.We are the rebellion. Our story continues...

A war lost. A civilization in ruins. A spark of hope among the wreckage. The war is over. The war has just begun. Major Katherine Asher of the newly founded United Earth Alliance knows nothing about the apocalyptic war of a past future. She's scheduled to pilot the newly christened Dove, Earth's first starship, in her maiden voyage. But when a terrorist attack leaves her wounded and hearing voices, she quickly finds herself caught up in the eternal struggle and fighting to stop a future that has no place for humankind. At the same time, a man in St. Louis decides to leave the psychiatric hospital he's called home for the last twenty years, since the fateful night an alien starship fell to Earth...

A mission failed.A civilization on the edge of collapse.A dangerous alliance to save it.Colonel Mitchell "Ares" Williams has never been one to accept failure. While the outcome on Liberty is a crushing setback to his and the Rigger's chances of salvaging the war, there's no time to waste on regret. After all, the mission wasn't a total loss, delivering an unexpected asset in the wake of their defeat: Liun Tio, a.k.a the Knife, a notorious warlord and enemy of the Alliance, whose deep-seated mistrust of artificial intelligence and control over what may be the largest free fleet in the galaxy have made him the most important man alive. If humanity is going to have a chance to survive the Tetron onslaught, Ares and the Knife will need to find a way to work together. But can the two factions learn to trust one another enough to bring the power of their joint forces to bear against a common enemy, or will their fragile alliance crumble beneath the weight of personal motives and divergent goals? As Mitchell and the Riggers will soon discover, the knife's edge cuts both ways
