"Owen Lake never had any interest in space.
After watching his astronaut mother die, he preferred the simple life of a boat captain on Lake Superior. But the simple life was never meant to last.
His charter business is failing, but an opportunity pops up in the form of Dr. Mariana Keller, who's interested in what lies beneath the waves: a mysterious, unnatural blue glow emanating from the depths.
Owen agrees to take her on a clandestine dive to an ancient shipwreck site. With his trusty canine companion Jack by his side, he sets out with Keller, but a simple dive turns into a fight for their lives when a beam pins Mari beneath the wreckage.
As Owen struggles to free her, he is ripped into an underwater hole and finds himself aboard a highly advanced, unmanned spacecraft.
The ship's powerful Artificial Intelligence, which Owen names Jefferson, asks Owen to become a temporary crew member in exchange for the rescue of Mari and Jack. He immediately agrees without a second thought.
After rescuing them, the AI places them in stasis and initiates a launch. With the ship jettisoning Owen, Mari, and Jack toward deep space and a cosmic conflict far beyond Earth's solar system, it's clear there's a lot more to becoming a crew member than Owen could have imagined.
Eleven months later, Owen awakens to discover that he's undergone involuntary biological enhancements that allow him to survive deep space. The enhancements grant him abilities far beyond human limits. But Jefferson's bargain remains absolute: Owen must cooperate and prove his worth on a millennia-old quest for revenge against the enemy Federation... or Mari and Jack will remain frozen forever.
Forced to lead, Captain Owen Lake must now fight a war that began 100,000 years before he was ever born."
"You can’t fight a war without guns.
Charlie and his friends need to arm their ship, but they have a small problem—black market particle cannons cost a lot of money. And they don’t have any.
Which leaves them only one option. They have to steal the guns from the Anguilar Empire.
It’s a daring plan, but it backfires when Laranna is captured by the enemy and taken back to her homeworld of Strada, which has been conquered and garrisoned by the Empire.
Charlie won’t abandon her, and when he and Giblet crash land on Strada, they’re forced to team up with the local resistance fighters to free not only Laranna, but the whole planet.
If they win, they’ll have struck the first meaningful blow in the war against the Anguilar.
If they lose...not only are Charlie and his friends dead, but tens of thousands of innocent civilians could die in reprisal.
Can a college student from Earth, taken to the stars by forces beyond his control, win the first victory in an interstellar war?"
"Accidental revolutionaries.
Charlie and the others hadn’t set out to free the galaxy, but fate had other plans...and so did the ancient AI robot, Lenny, who brought them together. And brought them to Sanctuary.
Now, a whole planet of Copperell refugees looks to Charlie for leadership, and his first task as their commander is to find weapons to arm the AI-guided zoo ships that are their only military fleet. And only the Anguilar have the weapons they need.
For once, the operation goes off without a hitch, but during the mop-up, they discover the secret of a terrible superweapon the Anguilar have spent the last 10 years constructing: The Nova Eclipse.
It can destroy entire worlds, lay waste to solar systems, and it’s already claimed its first victims.
And the next target is Strada.
The Eclipse is massive, heavily armed, and always accompanied by a deadly escort of Anguilar cruisers, and even with the weapons they stole, they’d never be able to take the force on in a stand-up fight.
Charlie and the others have no choice but to do things the sneaky way, infiltrate the Eclipse…and destroy it from within.
Or die trying."
"If you’re going to fight a space war, you have to have spaceships.
Charlie has a headquarters, a purpose, and an army…everything you need to build a resistance.
Except warships.
The Anguilar have plenty, but they also know the resistance will be coming after them, and they’ve set a hardened killer to hunt down Charlie.
The deadly bounty hunter Seraph Nix is on the hunt as the crew of the Revenant travels across the galaxy searching for a legendary lost cache of Kamerian starfighters from the last war.
Braving the deadly wilds of a long forgotten world, the only question is, will the mutant aliens get to them first…or will Seraph Nix?"
"Charlie Travers didn’t ask to be the leader of a rebellion…but no one else wanted the job.
Now that he’s gathered an army and armed them with the deadliest starfighter ever made, the legendary Vanguards, he just needs one more thing: someone who knows how to fly the things.
Unfortunately, no one has been behind the stick of a Vanguard in hundreds of years, since the end of the war that threw the galaxy into chaos. Their only hope lays in the legends of a crashed ship, a fighter crew frozen in stasis for centuries.
A crew of pilots from the ruthless Kamerian Alliance, the fearsome ravagers who once sought to rule the galaxy. Even if they’re willing to help, can they be trusted?
Charlie’s going to have to find out. Because it’s not just the Anguilar Empire that’s after him. The bounty hunter Seraph Nix is still out there, seeking revenge for the death of her crew.
And Seraph Nix always gets her man."
"Charlie Travers has been away from home for a long time, fighting to free the galaxy from the tyranny of the Anguilar Empire.
But now the Anguilar know where that home is...and it's only a matter of time before they set their sights on Earth, intent on conquest and enslavement.
Charlie doesn't have enough troops or supplies to stop them. And there's only one place he can get them.
The one place the Anguilar are intent on conquering. Charlie has to go back to Earth...and hope, after all this time, that it's still...
The Home of the Brave."
"Charlie has accepted a commission in the US Army and the duty to build Earth's defenses before the Anguilar return for a larger attack to conquer his homeworld once and for all.
But Giblet has other ideas.
Obsessed with revenge against the Anguilar General Zan-Tar for the death of the woman he loved, Gib steals a starfighter and sets off on a suicide mission for the heart of the Anguilar Empire.
Charlie is forced to make a decision: do his duty to his home and his people...or race to save his friend on the road of vengeance."
"Sanctuary. The perfect refuge from the enemy, the most closely held secret of the resistance, the planet has never been found, never been attacked.
Until now.
Charlie Travers has been preparing to strike at the Anguilar with the help of the US military, intent on going on the offense, but no battle plan survives contact with the enemy...particularly not when that enemy is General Zan-Tar.
The General is the worst sort of enemy, the kind that doesn't hate, doesn't take defeats personally. He's intent on destroying the resistance and his aim is straight at its heart.
Will this be the end of Sanctuary?"
"During a test flight for the world’s first warp engine, Major Noah Gantz is set to go down in the history books.
Despite years of training, the mission goes sideways, and instead of a quick trip to the moon and back, Noah's ship is transported across the universe to stars unknown.
Stranded in space and on the brink of death, Noah is rescued by a sentient starship and its captain. To save his life, the ship’s own biomatter must replace his failing cells.
Now, Noah is different. Stronger, faster… and there’s a voice in his head.
The voice of the ship itself, and its name is Kayan.
With no way to return home, Noah must adapt and rebuild his life in this unfamiliar corner of the universe. And as he does, he discovers a looming threat in the far reaches of space, growing in power, and set on capturing Noah and his ship.
Worse still, this new enemy knows about Earth. . . and it has big plans."
"Noah Gantz is tricked out, powered up, and a hell of a lot funnier now that he’s survived his first showdown with his archrival, rogue test pilot Colonel Tate Collins. None of that will be enough to save his new friends when things go from bad to worse
Because in the Gavant Reach, things definitely will.
When Wozim, the Tyton battle lord who already saved his life more than once is crucially injured, Noah and the rest of the crew must find a lost planet, brave the terrors of the local wilderness, and find a cure for their friend's worsening wounds. All Noah must do to save the Woz-man and get out of there alive is allow a piece of ancient alien technology embed itself in his flesh. What could possibly go wrong?
Will his new abilities stop Collins and the Gavant’s new secret weapon? Can he afford to pay the price when it comes due?
Dive into the second book of the Homeworld Lost series by J. N Chaney and Scott Moon to find out."
"Noah Gantz and his crew are closing in on the final Seer artifact, the device that will keep the power they already have from destroying them, and change inter-galactic travel forever. His enemies remain as devious as they are ruthless, but he’s got things figured out.
Until three United Earth ships arrive in the Reach galaxy and throw a bucket of wrenches in his plans. Intergalactic war on a scale never before seen is about to break out and only his living starship can stop it before it starts.
Step one in his plan: avoid dying.
Step two: warn the leaders of United Earth.
Step three: see step one.
Join Noah Gantz and Kayan’s crew as they explore new worlds, outmaneuver enemies, and wrestle with the secrets of ancient technology. The god-like entities that created the Seer devices won’t mind if they get used for the good of the galaxy… right?"
"With the greatest threat to galactic peace since the Big Bang locked away in a United Earth prison, Noah and his crew are headed back to the Reach for some much needed R & R.
Unfortunately a distress call from the three missing United Earth Deep Space (UEDS) exploration vessels cancels their plans. Noah and his friends head for Destinia, the Hoyon seed world they left behind early in their adventures. Celia Kilis, the new captain of the Kayan hunter, the Kon, has found the developing planet and wants her brother back immediately.
She’ll do whatever it takes to continue the mission she and her brother, Ryg, have shared since childhood—even if it means inviting the Seer armada back to finish their conquest of this galaxy and beyond.
Can Noah and his team stop an intergalactic nightmare before it starts? Will they heed 98X’s warning to steer clear of Talcordor? The smart money, and a couple of pineapple pizzas, is on the underdog. They’re full of Earth coffee and good intentions. What could possibly go wrong?"
