An ancient secret. A legacy betrayed. A path to the stars.A 3000-year-old secret has put Zack Lancestrom within reach of power most interstellar empires would go to war over. There's just one problem: in order to claim it, he'll need to leave the planet, and there are gang members, feral aliens, and security forces sent by his own father standing in his way. With the starports closed to him, Zack has no choice but to assemble his own crew and steal a starship. He knows where he can find one, but the path leads straight through the Boneyard, the most lawless place on the planet. He stands to gain a life of purpose and adventure beyond his imagination; failure will cost him his crew, his life, and doom his homeworld to a bloody civil war. The Starborn Heir is the first book in Zack Lancestrom's adventure, a swashbuckling space opera full of futuristic action, unsanctioned uses of advanced technology, and memorable characters. Humanity has spread across the galaxy, but they are not alone, and Zack's quest to find a lost pre-war artifact may be the only thing standing between this universe and an inter-dimensional species that wants to blot out the light of the stars. From D.J. Bodden, bestselling author of Viridian Gate Online: The Illusionist and the Black Year Series, comes a brand new science fiction adventure series set in the massive and ever-expanding FiveFold Universe.

A broken ship. A legacy tainted. A path into the dark. Zack's crew survived running a Federal Fleet blockade only to fall into the clutches of an unscrupulous space captain. They have minutes to take over a ship three times the size of their shuttle before they get marched out of an airlock, and they're outnumbered eight to one. To make matters worse, the ship is carrying cargo for the biggest criminal organization in the star cluster, the Venturi Cartel, and no one has crossed them and lived. Not every problem can be solved with a gun. The Federal Fleet is still after them. The Cartel is everywhere. Their AI has been infected with a deadly virus, and the planet they're heading toward is suffering from not one but two pandemics. The simplest thing would be to give Desdemona Venturi what she wants, but this time she picked a fight with the wrong crew. From D.J. Bodden, bestselling author of Viridian Gate Online: The Illusionist and the Black Year Series, comes the second book in the massive and ever-expanding FiveFold Universe!

A hidden enemy. A legacy born. A path through fire. Zack fled his homeworld to escape his inheritance and wound up the governor of a star system anyway. After three years leading the Venturi Nebula, Zack Lancestrom is on the verge of pulling the whole star cluster together into a grand alliance, a feat even his father couldn't achieve. But he's also made enemies, and as the day of the summit approaches, saboteurs and assassins move into position, ready to strike. Soon, problems are cropping up all over the nebula. On Merton Creed, an agitator called the Kyrenian is inciting the dockworkers to violence, and food supplies are running low. On Asphodel, above the barren world of Duat, old resentments have spawned a murderous conspiracy, and starships prepare for combat. Are these isolated incidents or part of a greater plot? And can Zack and his team uncover the real force behind the conflict before the system descends into civil war? His enemies may have Zack's number, but they've underestimated the courage of his people and how far he'll go to protect them. From D.J.
