PILTON'S MOON: Brendon Kinso has come to Tarlton's World to bury his brother. From his first step on the planet, Kinso feels hunted. He hires Callie Torbold, a local detective, to discover the validity of this feeling. Now both are on the run, and to survive they must solve the mystery of Pilton's Moon--the war which took the lives of every man, woman and child on that mining colony. And to do this they must deal with the Tswentap, the spider-like race which perpetrated the massacre and has no love for humans.

VENGEANCE IS MINE: The Vocem never wanted humans in space. A sudden and overwhelming attack wipes out the Earth Fleet--except for 'Candlelight', an undermanned and crippled scoutship captained by Lt. Carlton Voss, whose love died in the attack. Voss swears vengeance.

Flying his ship straight into another war, he becomes a hero to an unknown species. He decides, against the wishes of his crew, to mold his new allies into the instrument of his vengeance--even should that destroy the species.

Ghost Flee: Military SF - 104,000 Words

War on two fronts: the nightmare of military commanders everywhere. Already at war with the Combine, the human Confederation must now prepare for a second front against the felid Tlartox Empire, who wish to avenge their humiliating defeat at the hands of the humans 300 years earlier.

Voting down the long-standing peace treaty with the Confederation, the Tlartox look forward to a resumption of 'The Hunt'. Admiral Tood Tlomega has focused her plans on the human planet Lormar, with its great naval base, as a fiting target for retribution. She will return dignity to the people of Tlar. She believes she has prepared for every eventuality.

Lieutenant Mart Britlot plans on a different outcome. He remains the last living descendant of the Adian Nation in the Confederation. The Adians, with their undefeated fleet, left the Confederation in a mass emigration, only to be destroyed by The Phenomenon 300 years previous - or so the history books say. Britlot believes otherwise and, based on scanner echoes that experts dismiss and the cryptic entry in an ancestor's diary, he hopes to find the Adians and return with their fleet to defend the Confederation and put an end to the Tlartox menace. He will drive his own ship and crew beyond endurance to achieve this.

Neither side takes into account a small band of Tlartox subversives and their allies who intend to rae a claw across the plans of the warmongers - on both sides.

Book 5 in the Voidhawk series.

The new Empress of the elves thought the only thing standing in the way of prosperity for the reunited Elven Empire were the scattered elven rebels that clung to their racist ways. Progress seemed slow but certain until an old enemy emerges from the past. Beset by potential foes from every angle and unsure of who they can trust, the crew of the Voidhawk is near the end of their luck. Outnumbered by beings beyond their power, even the greatest sacrifice may not be enough to keep the void safe and return what was lost.
