#1
Trial by Ice
2013
William Grace awoke to a world of agony and ice. The opening shots in a Galactic Civil War. A man commands. Another finds his lost humanity. A fresh new military science fiction novel that’s more than just aliens and lasers. A brutal story. Gut wrenching. Visceral. When a catastrophic starship crash wipes out nearly 2000 troops, Midshipman William Grace finds himself commanding a handful of ravaged Soldiers and Marines. Pursued by the relentless cold, the survivors find treachery, betrayal, and war. Not only are their lives at stake but those of an entire planet.

Edge of Solace
2014
With the assault on the planet Redmond halted, the United Colonies race to secure the borders. On one front the Sa’Ami, human-machine constructs, begin to invade. On the other the Harmony Worlds, Australasian outcasts who number in the billions, hammer through. But no one knows what’s really happening, the territory is too large, the borders too vast. Lieutenant William Grace, colonist born-Earth raised, is posted to the frigate Malta with a Captain who hates him for his heritage. Marine Major Archibald Theodore is a prisoner of war captured by the Sa’Ami in the first assault. Army Lieutenant Takumi Yamaguchi leads the first suits of xeno designed power armor, suits that seem destined to fail. Abraham Yoder, part of a technologically backwards culture, betrays his own creed. While the Colonial fleets scramble to advance, they must hold the line. If they fail countless star systems will be trapped behind a veil of tyranny.

Edge of Redemption
2014
Would you stand alone? The conclusion of the trilogy, A Star Too Far. Lieutenant William Grace is the sole survivor of the Farshore genocide, the son of a rebel commander that won the war and lost the planet. That genocide led to the creation of the United Colonies, the thing William believes in most. The thing that seems to be falling apart in front of him. Now the Sa’Ami are held on one front and the Harmony Worlds on another. He barely retains a command, an officer in a Navy that distrusts anyone not from Earth. He must lead a convoy to abandon a planet to its own fate. Given a mission designed to send him away from the war, a mission that goes against everything he believes in. Luckily he’s not alone. He has a warship grown from an asteroid, and a crew of colonial misfits. But with a Navy that distrusts him, a corporate renegade who wants to manipulate him, a colony set on the path of treason, and a ship that will disassemble itself if he goes rogue, the stakes are as high as ever. It will take every bit of his tactical skill, his innate sense of zero gravity combat, and his will to see the colonies survive. If he follows orders he’ll keep his oath, but if he makes a stand he might save the starsystem, or lose everything.
