"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."
"The good guys won the battle, but the war goes on.
Wash Williams has been recruited to help Brian Reeves and the Delta Force team close gates to the worlds controlled by the Hive-Mind, while back on Thacia, Valon does the same thing from the other side.
But new gates continue to open, and unless someone can figure out how to stop the effect, it will keep spreading and the war will never end.
The only hope the Earthers and the Thacians have may be to work together in a desperate plan that risks the destruction of them both."
"Kyle Washaki 'Wash' Williams thought his life couldn’t get any more complicated. Then the aliens showed up …
After his mom died from cancer, Wash gave up his girlfriend and his dream of being a career Army officer to stay home and take care of his father, a former Special Forces soldier stricken with PTSD. Wash works three jobs just to pay the
bills, and one of them is at the ranch of the man who’s engaged to his exgirlfriend, Jimmy Bonner.
Sound rough? He thought so too … until a portal to a hell-world of giant, insectoid aliens opens behind the ranch house, sucking Wash and Jimmy into the nightmare domain of the Hive Mind, a monstrous, underground blob of brain tissue that
stretches across multiple planets through the Gate System.
It exists only to spread itself across the universe. And its next target is Earth.
Will Wash be able to defend the planet from conquest by a swarm of giant alien insects? And will Jimmy be able to put aside his rivalry with Wash to fight for Earth, or will he decide that an alien horde is the perfect tool to dispose of his old enemy?
The answer lies on the other side … of the Gates of Hell."
"The End is nigh …
The war with the Tahni has dragged on for over two years, taking its toll on the lives of all involved.
On the Aphrodite colony, Marine turned cybernetic commando Ryan Hendrix is readying his civilian militia to make one final strike against the enemy, in what they know could be a suicide mission.
Back in Commonwealth space, Travis Miller and his task force have finally been given clearance to take back the occupied colony system. But the Tahni have had a year to prepare their defenses, and the price in blood will be dear.
And somewhere, across the stars, the Tahni general Tan Kin is guiding his own strike force on a long and circuitous route that will take them behind human lines for an attack no one expects … and no one is prepared for.
It will mean the end of the war … and may mean the end of everything."
"Two down…one to go.
Chase and Angel have two of the three artifacts they need to access the ancient alien Archive--humanity’s only hope of defeating the Sunkillers.
But getting that third one is going to be near impossible.
Because their nemesis, the power-hungry Hart-Klein Consolidated, already has the third key to the Archive…and they won’t be giving it up without a fight.
Who can Chase and the rest of the crew of the Tamar turn to for help when their own government thinks they’re outlaws and they have a price on their heads?
The last person they ever thought they would ask…and if she doesn’t help, humanity won't have much of a future.

"Ryan Hendrix is dead …… Or so his family, his girlfriend, and his fellow Marines think.
Terribly wounded during the battle for Hermes, Ryan Hendrix was repaired with cybernetics, transformed into a weapon by Fleet Intelligence … and covertly dropped onto the enemy-occupied colony at Aphrodite to sabotage the enemy and build up a civilian resistance.
While Ryan fights the real battle behind enemy lines, Travis Miller and Jessica Leer struggle with politics … and their new commands. The Earth government is too scared of losing more cruisers to try to take back the occupied colonies, so Travis and Jessica find themselves stuck raiding enemy outposts, trying to draw their attention away so Ryan and the rest of his commandos can do their job.
But Travis Miller didn’t get to be the head of the largest task force in human history by sitting back and doing what he’s told. And when one of those raids turns up key intelligence, Travis will do whatever he has to in order to get back in the real fight.
Book 3 in the explosive Holy War series from the #1 Amazon bestselling author of Contact Front, Rick Partlow."
"They know the secret to saving humanity…if they can just live long enough to use it.
Chase Weston was a mercenary. Angel Cortez was an archaeologist. Neither one of them expected to be recruited to save the Earth by an ancient alien AI.
But a doomsday machine, the Sunkiller, is heading for Earth at close to the speed of light, and unless they gather the lost alien artifacts needed to destroy it, humanity will be extinct.
Unfortunately, those artifacts represent unlimited power--the kind that nations and corporations will kill to possess--and the next one they have to find just happens to be right in the middle of enemy territory.
With threats on all sides, the future of the galaxy rests on their shoulders. All they have to do is survive.
Experience the second entry in the bestselling Sunkiller series by USA Today Bestselling Authors and Dragon Award nominees JN Chaney and Rick Partlow. If you're a fan of huge, galaxy-spanning stories about humanity struggling against overwhelming odds, this is the book for you."
"What would you do if you found the secret of a lifetime? What if you could change the universe?
Chase Weston never would have thought that being the bodyguard for an archaeologist could be so dangerous - even this archaeologist digging for the remains of an alien civilization on another planet.
But everyone wants what Dr. Angel Cortez has found....no matter the human cost.
Because beneath the dirt and stone, an ancient mystery lies, a secret history, and a warning of an implacable alien enemy. And if the warnings are true, then corporate mercenaries and Sea Dragon commandoes are the least of Chase’s worries.

"We’ve won a battle … but we’re losing the war.
Travis Miller, his image reformed from the moron who screwed up our first contact with aliens to one of the heroes of the Battle for Eden, is given a new assignment: retake the occupied colony of Brigantia. Losing it would be a glancing blow to the Tahni Imperium, but it would be Earth’s first solid strike against them, a chance to go on the offensive.
Ryan Hendrix and the Fleet Marines will be the tip of the spear, outfitted with their new Aegis-powered armor, while Jessica Leer and her Fleet Strike fighter squadron clear the way for the Marines and their landers, sacrificing their lives to get boots on the ground.
But even a victory on Brigantia won’t mean the end of the war.
And it might just make the Tahni angry enough to do something desperate, to strike deep into the heart of the Commonwealth, where we least expect it …
Once again, Travis is forced to choose between his orders and what he knows is right. And for him, win or lose, it’s judgment day …"
