"Random events ignite a chain reaction with deadly consequences.
A lone yachtsman witnesses a murder on board a luxury super yacht while making port in the glamorous principality of Monaco. He’s there to meet his daughter who’s part of the army of global media arriving in the south of France to witness the launch of the world’s first fully sustainable fusion reactor, ITER, and what they hope will be the dawn of a new golden age for humanity.
But in his efforts to persuade the authorities that a murder has taken place, he begins to uncover what he suspects is a clandestine plot by foreign agents to ensure that the most complex machine ever constructed, and all who have gathered there to report on this historic event, end up as a cloud of irradiated dust.
To make matters worse, he soon becomes a target to be eliminated. Yet he must somehow stay alive long enough to convince the authorities the plot is real and to act before it’s too late. Because if he fails, then his own daughter will be dead.

"Die Wahrheit über die genetischen Experimente auf dem Mars ist ans Licht gekommen. Prompt tauchen neue Missionen von der Erde im Orbit des Roten Planeten auf. Die widerstreitenden Fraktionen ringen um die Kontrolle über die neue Technologie. Die überlebenden Kolonisten sind den Neuankömmlingen dabei bloß im Weg - im besten Fall müssen sie als Sklaven und Laborratten herhalten. Schlimmer noch: Die Truppen von der Erde sind gut bewaffnet und bereit, einen Krieg zu entfesseln, um die Macht über die Kolonie und ihre Bewohner an sich zu reißen.
Doch Dr. Jann Malbec verfügt über geheimes Wissen, mit dem sie die Kolonie vielleicht vor ihrem grausamen Schicksal retten kann. Das Problem: Wenn sie es einsetzt, wird sie die Erde einer weltweiten Pandemie apokalyptischen Ausmaßes aussetzen.
Jann muss sich entscheiden: Welcher Planet ist ihre wahre Heimat: Erde oder Mars?"
"Dr. Jann Malbec, die einzige Überlebende der verunglückten ISA-Mission, ist auf dem Mars gestrandet. Die Erde sieht sie als Gefahr, jede Chance auf Rückkehr bleibt ihr verwehrt. Sie ist allein und isoliert und ist kurz davor, aufzugeben - bis jemand in der Hauptluftschleuse der Kolonie auftaucht. Der vollkommen entkräftete Fremde stirbt in ihren Armen. Dr. Malbec beginnt sich zu fragen, was da draußen vor sich geht, denn außer ihr dürfte es keine Überlebenden geben. Noch beunruhigender ist jedoch, dass ein DNS-Test ihn als einen Kolonisten identifiziert, der bereits einige Jahre zuvor gestorben ist.
Es gibt nur einen Ort, von dem er gekommen sein kann: aus der aufgegebenen Mine auf der anderen Seite des Jezero-Kraters, Kolonie Zwei. Ein Außenposten, von dem sie annahm, er sei längst tot. Aber wenn es der Besucher bis zu ihr geschafft hat, sind vielleicht noch andere am Leben?
Um das Rätsel zu lösen, muss sie eine gefährliche Reise durch den Krater antreten. Denn wenn sie nicht schnell Antworten findet, wird sie auf dem Mars sterben. Allein."
"As the conflict in the asteroid belt escalates, Luca finds herself seeking out the help of Athena, the QI on Earth. Together they hatch a complex plan to end the power of the VanHeilding family.
Meanwhile, resistance to the ongoing power grab by the Xiang Zu Corporation is gaining traction in Elektra, a quadruple asteroid system and the second most populous sector of the Belt. Miranda, Scott, and Cyrus find themselves being dragged into this fightback following rumors that the QI, stolen en route to New World One, has resurfaced in the hands of the rebels.
Yet, for there to be any resolution to the conflict, Luca must ultimately face-off against the army of node-runners arrayed against her on New World One. She knows it will be a fight to the death, there can only be one winner, but is she ready?
The fate of humanity is resting on the outcome."
"Kann eine Kolonie auf dem Mars überleben, wenn die größte Gefahr auf dem Roten Planeten der Mensch selbst ist?
Während eines langen Sandsturms geht der Kontakt zur ersten menschlichen Kolonie auf dem Mars verloren. Satellitenbilder zeigen, dass die Anlage stark beschädigt ist, und die vierundfünfzig Kolonisten, die Colony One ihr Zuhause nannten, gelten als tot. Drei Jahre später landet eine neue Mission auf der Oberfläche des Planeten, um zu untersuchen, was von der verlassenen Anlage übrig geblieben ist.
Schnell stellt die Crew fest, dass die Kolonie doch nicht so tot ist, wie alle dachten. Irgendjemand ist noch am Leben - versteckt sich aber. Doch während sie nach dem wichtigen Zeugen sucht, wird die Besatzung von einer seltsamen Krankheit befallen. Die Biologin Dr. Jann Malbec muss so schnell wie möglich den Ursprung der Krankheit und einen Weg zu ihrer Bekämpfung finden.
Bei ihren Nachforschungen stößt Jann auf ein dunkles und tödliches Geheimnis, das in Colony One lauert. Ein Geheimnis, das nicht nur die Besatzung, sondern auch die gesamte Bevölkerung der Erde bedroht. Mit begrenzten Ressourcen und unter Zeitdruck muss die Biologin Antworten auf Fragen finden, die besser nie gestellt worden wären. Denn wenn sie scheitert, wird keiner von ihnen nach Hause zurückkehren."
"In space, all that matters is survival.
Rapid colonization of the moon is pushing both national space agencies and powerful corporations to negotiate a New Lunar Accord in an effort to prevent escalating conflicts over valuable resources and territory.
But hope that this treaty will bring stability to the nascent lunar civilization is suddenly dashed when a high-energy solar storm causes a cascade of destruction to the vast satellite constellations that orbit Earth. Now it's only a matter of weeks before the ever-increasing debris cloud makes travel back to the home planet impossible.
Panic soon begins to grip the lunar population as they scramble to evacuate, all fearing that they could be stranded on the moon with no prospect of ever returning to Earth. But for some, those caught in the grinding gears of the unfolding chaos, the situation becomes much worse. For them, it's simply a matter of survival.
This is their story.
Solar Storm is a dramatic new hard sci-fi epic from the author of the highly acclaimed Colony Mars & The Belt series."
"The battle for New World One has left Luca physically and mentally traumatized. She has descended into a deep catatonic state from which there seems no way back.
Scott and Miranda are concerned, not just about Luca but also the imminent threat of a new assault on the habitat by a revitalized VanHeilding fleet. They must leave, head for the relative safety of Mars, and hope that they have not left it too late.
Yet Luca is not unique in the system. There is another who possesses elements of her extraordinary biology. One who has been this way before, one who understands her struggle and who could ultimately hold the key to her freedom.
But for Luca to find a way back she must first deal with the demons that now stalk her mind. She must face up to what she truly is - a threat to human civilization."
"A devastating dust storm. A colony on the edge of extinction. Only one person can save them. But first they need to start a revolution.
In the midst of the most devastating dust storm in the history of Mars, the survival of the half million people who call it home is hanging in the balance.
Yet for Major Mia Sorelli, of the Mars Law and Order Department, it’s just another sol at the office — another sol trying to keep the desperate and angry citizens from tearing themselves apart.
But when she’s sent to investigate the death of a fellow officer in the lawless industrial city of Syrtis, she begins to suspect that the endless dust storm may not be the only thing threatening their survival.
With the help of her semi-sentient droid, Gizmo, they uncover a plot so heinous that her faith in humanity is almost shattered — and the only way for her to get it back, and save the colony, is to start a goddamn revolution.
About Surface Tension:
This is the fifth book in a Sci-Fi series set in a human colony on Mars, but it can also be read as a stand-alone novel. The science depicted is, for the most part, plausible. In other words, what’s technically possible with either current technology or taking experimental research a step or two further. That said, you won’t need a calculator or a slide-rule to enjoy the story.
Can be read as a stand-alone novel."
"Xenon Hybrid, the Red Planet’s ceremonial head-of-state, has not been seen for many years after withdrawing to an isolated enclave in the far north where he steadily built up a following of citizens seeking out an alternative lifestyle. They bother no one, and no one bothers them.
But when an Earth-bound ship explodes on the launchpad in Jezero City, and the DNA from two bodies recovered at the site are found to be an exact match, Dr. Jann Malbec is convinced that they are the product of a covert cloning program. More troubling still is that the DNA is a very close match to the reclusive and enigmatic Xenon.
Meanwhile, newly promoted Mars Envoy, Mia Sorelli, finds herself stuck on the planet after her ride back to Earth is now a charred hunk of metal. She begins to get an uneasy feeling that someone may be trying to assassinate her, and Mia’s suspicions start to focus on a clandestine group of Xenon’s followers.
As these parallel investigations begin to converge, it becomes apparent to both Jann and Mia that the peaceful and simple lifestyle of the Xenonists is not all that it seems. There is a darker ideology bubbling underneath the surface, one that threatens to bring catastrophe to the entire population on Mars.
But will anyone believe them in time?
About Plains of Utopia:

"The discovery of a long lost spaceship transporting an experimental quantum device ignites a system-wide power struggle.
Commander Scott McNabb and the crew of the science vessel, Hermes, are three years into a five-year-long survey of the asteroid belt when they discover a derelict spaceship in orbit around a binary asteroid. The ship contains an experimental quantum device, lost while en route to a research colony on Europa.
However, once word of the crew’s discovery gets out, they soon realize that ownership of this technology could fundamentally change the balance of power within the colonized worlds, and they now find themselves at the very nexus of a system-wide conflict.
Their fight for survival plays out across the solar system, from the mining outposts of the asteroid belt to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and from the great Martian city of Jezero to the irradiated wastelands on Earth.
This volume contains:
- Entanglement - book one
- Entropy - book two
- Evolution - book three"
"On the eve of Luca Lee-McNabb’s twenty-third birthday the quantum intelligence, Athena delivers her some bad news. Due to a devastating attack on its infrastructure it can no longer protect her and keep her hidden. She must leave Earth immediately and try to make it to New World One, a gargantuan habitat being constructed out in the asteroid belt.
For Luca, leaving her home means potentially exposing herself to the powerful VanHeilding family, who will stop at nothing to harvest her unique biology. They have created a formidable army of Node Runners, people who can jack-in to the data-grid, corrupt the flow of information and attack the QI network. Not only that, but they are now actively searching for her, hunting her down.
If Luca wants to get to New World One and see her family again then she must dig deep and face her biggest fear — jacking-in to the data-grid and facing down the Node Runners. But by doing so she faces a very real risk of brain death. Yet it is either that, or ending up being dissected in a VanHeilding genetics lab."
