Capital Starship

2017

The Galaxy's Doomed Without Him The Ixa smashed the galaxy to bits before they were defeated. Captain Husher has sounded the alarm in the decades since: the Ixa’s creators will return to finish the job. But unlike Husher, the galactic government didn't battle the Ixa, and the politicians have convinced themselves that maintaining peace means limiting the ability to wage war. Now, the enemy has returned, with high-tech weapons that prove they haven’t limited their own combat capabilities in the slightest. If Captain Husher and his beleaguered supercarrier crew can't manage to stop the invaders, they will happily devour the galaxy whole. Capital Starship is a new military science fiction series set in the Ixan Prophecies universe.

Pride of the Fleet

2018

The Galaxy's Never Had It Darker Armed with new tech that could revolutionize space combat, Captain Husher must now try to convince the Interstellar Union to implement it in time to defend against the godlike Progenitors. When a new alien ally shows up in the galaxy, it’s a mixed blessing. Their military might could prove a boon to the war effort, but what secrets lurk in their past, and how might they shape galactic society for centuries to come? It's a lot for one supercarrier captain to contend with, especially when tensions are escalating aboard the IGS Vesta herself. Husher can only stand on his well-worn principles: Do right by his crew. Do right by the galaxy, even when the galaxy fights him every step of the way. If death comes anyway, make it an honorable one, and make it count.

The Invasion Has Begun The Progenitors are here, and Captain Husher knows the galaxy isn’t ready. He spent his entire military career preparing, but it wasn’t enough. As the Interstellar Union continues to flail and colony after colony is consumed, Husher must make some impossible choices. About what to save. And what to let fall to the onslaught. If he can’t find a way to oppose the Progenitors, they will sweep through the multiverse like fire through a parched forest. It all comes down to this.
