Virtues of War offers a glimpse of humanity's possible future, of our expansion into space and the cultural and emotional baggage that we will take with us. Within an action-packed, high-tech setting with cutting edge science and fantastic worldscapes, this sci fi novel explores the effects of physical and psychological warfare and the ways in which realistic, human characters react to them. Unlike many military sci fi novels, Virtues of War is a story of the personal, rather than the technical. Lieutenant Katja Emmes is a platoon commander who was transferred last-minute to be the leader of the 10-trooper strike team carried aboard the fast-attack craft Rapier. Although fully trained, she has never led troops in real operations before, and she is haunted by the shadow of her war-hero father. Sublieutenant Jack Mallory is fresh out of pilot school, reluctantly doing his duty in the mysterious world of extra-dimensional warfare while pining for the glamour of a fighter pilot position in the space fleet. Day-dreaming his way through life, Jack is in for a rude awakening. Lieutenant Commander Thomas Kane is poised for promotion, and he knows that this six-month deployment in command of Rapier is the single, best chance to secure his rise to stardom within the Astral Force. He has already learned that performance alone isn't enough and actively dabbles in the subtle politics of his professional world, but he will learn that there are far more dangerous foes than the ones he can see. Set far enough in the future to present a society that has evolved and splintered from our own, Virtues of War is a sci fi novel that reveals the traits common in any age, and ultimately looks at the heart of what makes us human.
The Enforcers investigate a mass murderer, while five citizens of the planet Narcsard attempt to escape their dying planet. Meanwhile, at the Musun, Pandora investigates the shadowy Cinradahs.
Tari and Owen had been besties since childhood and they start having feelings for each other. But love comes with a secret. Can Tari handle it?
It might be too late to save her... she knows it might be too late. She loves him and will not die until she tells him. She will not let death take her away on its winged chariot just yet...
Shaun Kane saves a man from armed assailants only to be plunged into world reaching conspiracy where the truth may not set you free and death waits round every corner.
Sab Martin made her twin Sabryna move to Texas when she was two. Now she's moving back in! They go through everyday sibling rivalry.
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water: Topaz, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire. Four stones for the four corners – the Ancients.
Legend has it that whomever possesses all four stones has absolute power over all things.

Four men, powerful in their own right, but are they strong enough for the women they love and the darkness they must face?
Evil comes: The Blade of Baäl arises. The hunt for the Stones is on.
