Fenris Unchained

2015

The Wolf is Loose. Ten years ago, after her parents were killed in a terrorist attack, Melanie Armstrong walked away from a military officer’s career to raise her orphaned brother. Since then she's been captaining a tramp freighter – shuffling from world to world, scraping to barely get by, but content that she's made the right decision. But when her ship crashes, authorities make her an take a fifteen-year sentence on a prison world where the average lifespan is a third of that. Or take part in a mission to stop an ancient, and until-now forgotten, robotic warship, the Fenris, from completing its hundred-year-old task of destroying a planet, killing millions. “Spriggs takes the reader through betrayal, loss, unexpected friends and even less expected forgiveness on a non-stop roller-coaster of action.” – Glynn Stewart, author of Starship’s Mage and City in the Sky. “A well-drawn cast of very different characters on a difficult, unpredictable and fast-paced mission. Who the good and bad guys are, is not always obvious. Obvious is boring; Fenris Unchained is not.” – Mackey Chandler, author of Family Law and the April series.

Odin's Eye

2015

The crew of the Fenris are back from the halls of Valhalla to pluck out Odin’s Eye. Mel Armstrong has prevented an AI warship from destroying a planet, but she and her friends made many enemies along the way. Unless they can disappear, those enemies will come for them, backed by a computer program, Odin's Eye, which will find them wherever they manage to hide. Yet not everyone is happy with the abilities that Odin's Eye gives to the government. They're willing to pay Mel and her friends to do the impossible: to slip into a maximum security facility on a corporate-run planet and make certain that no one has the power to know everything. It's the equivalent of taking on a god, but Mel and her friends have one advantage: for now, no-one knows they still live. Mel is banking on that fact... and the hope that the eye of a god can't see them coming.
