Pilton's Moon / Vengeance Is Mine

On a planet peacefully and harmoniously populated by both humans and the gorilla-like Pagayans, civil war has broken out, fostered by a third species, the Damargs. None of Earth's ex-colony worlds want to hear about it, much less get involved. But one member of the space-based Trading League, Colleen Yrden, is raising an Interplanetary Brigade to fight on Pelgraff.

Alan McLean left the New Brittain police service under a cloud: he killed a man under questionable circumstances. His need to belong to something, anything, drives him to accept Colleen's offer of employment--to help train the Interplanetary Brigade--despite his natural disgust at the endeavour and his dislike for the Pagayans. It doesn't hurt that she believes in him where all others have turned their backs.

Though he signs on to train men in weapons and tactics only, he finds himself drawn into the conflict and his growing hatred of the brutal Damargs--as well as his unrequited feelings for Colleen--holds him on Pelgraff even as politics makes the prospect of eventual victory increasingly unlikely and his bigotry towards Pagayans makes equally unlikely a relationship with Colleen. Others may leave, but McLean is determined to stay to the end, however it turns out.

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.

Death awaits the curious!

Out along the rim of the galaxy hangs a loose configuration of some sixty stars known as the Faustian Chain. This whorl of sparkling suns is rich in planets and occupies an irregular volume of space some twenty lightyears in diameter. From an external viewpoint, the Chain presents a colorful display of plasma-streams, luminous nebulae and sparkling pinpoints of light.

The human colonists who settled the Chain were aware the region had recently been populated by other species—beings that had all but vanished after waging devastating wars thousands of years in the past. Little was known of them, but certain areas in which their artifacts still persisted were proscribed by interstellar law....
