With Jack Romanoff’s Navy career in jeopardy, his superior gives him a chance to redeem himself. All he has to do is secure a freighter while his cruiser chases the pirates down that attacked it. What could possibly go wrong? Caught between pirates and their prey, Jack must choose a side. He can’t let the unexpected cargo fall into the wrong hands, so he and his marines must somehow stop the pirates that vastly outnumber them. Even when all he has are inconvenient allies.

A whisper in the empty dark. The Authority has been driven off, but Drake and Yukiko still have a lot of problems in search of solutions. And then there is the deepening mystery of Those Who Came Before. Evidence is starting to suggest that they are not what everyone here thought. They are likely not the ones who built the alien travel network that brought them here and trapped them. A half-seen form that vanishes when you look. As Drake and Yukiko work to stymie their enemies and make a home away from home for humanity, they have to wrestle with new questions. Worse, it seems as if the long departed aliens might not be so departed as everyone believes. Do they have an agenda? If so, can they be reasoned with before they make everything much, much worse? Ghosts in the machine.

Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.Commodore Jack Romanoff and his ragtag crew have repaired their ancient battleship, scattered their adversaries at New Copenhagen, and discovered what was really behind the invasion. Now they must make the enemy bleed and begin liberating the cluster.Betrayal from the shadows.When someone unexpected conspires against him, Jack must keep his ship and crew united and safe. If he fails, someone powerful that should have had his back will stick a knife into it, and the aliens will enslave or exterminate them all.Honor or victory? Can he have both?

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Commodore Jack Romanoff and his merry band of ragtag Navy rejects—skilled yet young war reenactors, a rescued Navy crew, and a Confederation spy—have rescued more than two hundred civilian ships and escaped a massacre in a battleship over two centuries old. Too bad they blew a fusion plant doing it. Trapped in a deserted system with the Locusts after them, they have a hard deadline to sort out the mess. Standing in the way is an arrogant Navy captain unwilling to bend his stiff neck, and the man’s unexpected—and unwelcome—allies. Yet clever friends and shocking secrets may still turn the tide. Jack and his crew have only one chance to get it right. To do that, he must bind them all together with bonds of blood.

Victory belongs to the strong and cunning warrior. Admiral Jack Romanoff and his crew have turned two enemies against one another via misdirection and timing. That gives them the breathing room to get back to their feet, but as any savvy commander knows, the footing on any battlefield is treacherous. One misstep could cost a warrior everything. Blood is the only coin that can buy victory. With things falling apart in the Confederation proper, the future looks grim. All that can change for the worse in an instant, and only vigilance and courage can stop the enemies of humanity from extinguishing the flickering candle of the human species. Backed into a corner, he will pay the price for victory. Let whoever wants to die first test their resolve.
