"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?"
"They thought the war was over . . . the enemy had other ideas.
Two years after the end of the Psi War, Caleb Mitchell is Emperor in all but name, leading his armies on a crusade to cleanse the colony worlds and Earth itself of the last of the psionic madmen known as the Changed.
But the citizens of the Commonwealth weren't the only ones devastated by the war; the criminal cartels in the Pirate Worlds are in chaos, their trade cut off, their resources running out.
A young warlord named Amos Dobrev rises up to unite the cartels into a union they call the Syndicate. He builds an army of psionic supermen and tries to carve out his own kingdom among the former Commonwealth colonies.
Dobrev says they are only doing what they have to do to survive. Mitchell considers Dobrev a threat who needs to be put down before he destroys everything that's left.
And caught in the middle is Randall Munroe, Mitchell's right-hand man, trying to decide whether the bigger threat is an outlaw Syndicate . . . or the power of Cal Mitchell's Imperium."
"It's the end of everything . . .
The greatest heroes of the Commonwealth are gathered in the breach for one last fight. The Transformation Virus rages through human space like a wildfire, changing ordinary men and women into psionic demi-gods, bent on destruction and conquest.
The government has fallen, the military is helpless and the fate of humanity rests in the hands of a collection of unlikely saviors. Sandi Hollande, disgraced war hero. Kara McIntire, cold and calculating master spy.
Randall Munroe, corporate mercenary. And Caleb Mitchell, the deadliest man alive. Together, they make a stand against the darkness, but will their only hope for victory be in risking the destruction of all they hold dear?"
"You can't outrun your past . . .
Korri Fontenot left family behind on Earth a century ago to fight in a war that broke her body and her mind. Now, her great-granddaughter, Jackie, has followed in her footsteps.
First as a Marine and then as a mercenary outlaw, Jackie has made the mistake of breaking into a secret corporate lab and stealing an ancient alien artifact.
Dark forces want the artifact back.
Only Korri can save her from the assassins on her trail.
What starts out as a fight against ruthless mercenaries leads them far outside human space, and into the remnants of a fallen empire. For the artifact that Jackie stole isn't just alien treasure, it's a weapon with the power to restart an ancient war—a war that could bring down all of human civilization.
For fans of galaxy-spanning military space operas like James S. A. Corey's The Expanse and Richard Fox's Ember War series."
"No enemy is so dangerous as when you think they’re defeated.
The Hive Mind has deceived the Americans and the Thacians into believing they had the strategy that would destroy it once and for all…and instead, they opened the gates through to Thacia and, from there, into the United States.
And the demons streamed through by the tens of thousands, too many for artillery and air support to drive them back. The Army and Air Force keep pouring on the hurt, but it’s only a matter of time until they’re forced to do the unthinkable…nuke an American city.
Unless Wash Williams and Valon of Thacia can retrieve an ancient alien artifact that might shut down all the gates for good.
Or it might just destroy everything.
The third and final installment in the Gates of Eternity Military Sci-Fi Series from Rick Partlow, the bestselling author of the Drop Trooper Series. It's perfect for fans of Jasper T. Scott, Scott Bartlett, and David Weber."
