Rade and his team have been sent deep behind enemy lines. Their mission: capture a high-ranking Sino Korean official and escape to the extract zone before all hell breaks loose. They almost make it. But then aliens decide to show up. Now Rade and his team are fighting not just for their lives, but for the lives of every man, woman, and child on Earth. Not that Rade minds: He lives for this.

A colony on the outskirts of known space has ceased all transmissions. Rade and his ragtag team of security consultants are called in to investigate. What could go wrong? A whole lot, actually. When an alien invasion seems imminent, Rade has to find a way to get his team out before it's too late. Contains: intense action sequences, crude jokes, and a whole lot of bugs.

Once upon a time, the galaxy was at peace. All the spacefaring races lived in harmony and shared their resources. Interstellar Conflict was a thing of the past. And then the Link came. In the hundred years since, the galaxy has known only war. But now, humanity's Mind Refurbs have forged an alliance not only amongst themselves, but with several former Link members. Jain and the Void Warriors, Eric and the Bolt Eaters, and Jason and the War Forgers have joined forces with the Banthar, the Tyrnari, and the Mimics. They intend to bring the fight to the Link.

Rade returns his alien client to her secret base on the far side of the galaxy. When the ship arrives, his team finds the base destroyed beyond recognition. A dark discovery in the ruins leads the team to a new star system. There, Rade's client embarks on an important mission, leaving him and the team behind to guard valuable transportation technology. But when unexpected circumstances arise and an old enemy makes an appearance, Rade is faced with a gut-wrenching choice. Will Rade betray his client, and potentially all of humanity, to save his kids?

Eric was happily retired. His consciousness resided inside the body of an advanced android. He had two beautiful female companions, a platoon of war hero friends, and the entire floor of an apartment building to call his own. He had paid his dues, having saved the world during his previous stint in the army, and now he could live out the rest of his life in peace and quiet. As an android, he expected that life to last a very long time. And then the army came knocking at his door again.

The ATLAS mechanized battle suits are the pinnacle of military technology, boasting awesome destructive power - but what is behind the armor is only human. Rade Galaal, elite soldier and ATLAS operator, has been tested - and broken - by savage battles and devastating losses. Now, an old enemy poses a new threat.

Rade and the Argonauts hunt a fugitive alien to a colonized world. Embedded within the most populous city, the rogue is hidden in plain sight. Unable to obtain clearance from the local authorities, Rade and his team must sneak inside the city and quietly capture the rogue without alerting law enforcement. The operation won’t be easy. The city’s security forces have drones and mechs watching on every street corner, and the alien fugitive himself is known for his cunning, resourcefulness, and cruelty.

Rade and his team have joined forces with a new ally to hunt a rogue alien on a lava world. He intends to use a research station on the planet as his base of operations. Unfortunately, when the team arrives at the station, the research scientists are not quite who they appear to be.

An alien entity has stolen a time weapon. Rade and the Argonauts must retrieve the weapon and travel back 65 million years to ancient Earth to stop the entity from intervening in humankind's evolution. The stakes are high. If the team fails, they will return to find a galaxy populated not by humans but by the descendants of the dinosaurs.

Alien invaders have come to Earth. Rade, vacationing in the south of France, is mightily pissed to have his liberty time so rudely interrupted by these extraterrestrials. But he was willing to let it go. He was done fighting wars, and more than ready to leave the grunt work to the professionals. But then the aliens made the mistake of bringing his family into the equation. Ouch. The invaders were counting on humanity falling quickly. What they weren't counting on was Rade's fury.

Malem's back, and he's free of Vorgon and all things demon. It's time to enjoy the fruits of his labor. His newly acquired army is building a city for him and his companions in the forest. He hasn't figured out how he's going to pay his soldiers, but he's confident things will work out. He has a few princesses and queens serving on his personal advisory board, after all, and they have some experience in nation building (among other special talents). He also has a couple of new women who've recently joined his team, and they need to be brought up to speed in more ways than one.

The Darkness has taken Malem. The Breaker fights for Vorgon now. But that doesn’t mean Malem is going to let anyone harm the five women he’s bound to. They give him the power to control monsters, after all. Besides, they’re super hot. Vorgon doesn’t like the devotion Malem shows his women, so the evil demon decides to send him on a fool’s errand - his mission is to infiltrate the kingdom of the Tree Elves and Break their queen. No easy task, given that she is surrounded by an army of bloodthirsty fighters and merciless mages, not to mention a crapload of monsters.

A fresh recruit in the United Systems space infantry learns that powered armor isn’t all it’s cracked up to be when his platoon is dispatched to eliminate a heavily-armed warlord.

Malem is emperor. He has an army of monsters at his command, and a harem of beautiful women at his beck and call. He should be happy. And yet he is restless. He yearns for the nomadic existence he left behind...the laid-back days spent roaming the countryside, sleeping under the stars, free of the burdens of rule. Careful what you wish for.... When an old friend flees Malem's kingdom, bringing with him the secret to escaping the demon that binds Malem forever, our restless emperor must pursue.

Rade Galaal and his elite team are dispatched to the farthest reaches of known space to investigate the disappearance of a classified new supercarrier. Equipped with Hoplites, powerful battle suits laden with enough firepower to raze a small city, Rade and his team explore the barren world where the starship issued its final transmission. But shortly after they land, things start to go very wrong.

Captain Jonathan Dallas, Commodore of Battle Unit 72, investigates the disappearance of a military research vessel on the fringes of known space. When the unit is ambushed by a threat that endangers not only the fleet but also all of humanity itself, Jonathan must somehow find the resources to fight back.

The human fleet has razed the alien homeworld, reducing it to a barren rock blackened by nuclear winter. Only a few survivors remain. Equipped with the awesome might of the Titan battle suits, war machines with enough firepower to smash a small army, Rade and his platoon have been dispatched to the homeworld to hunt down the survivors of the nuclear bombardment and erase the alien threat from the galaxy forever. Unfortunately, it seems the aliens don't want to go down without a fight. Rade soon realizes the human fleet has made a grave error in judgment.

The enemies have raised the stakes by attacking a colony world on the outskirts of known space. Rade and his team of elite warriors join a Marine division to retake the colony while the human fleet battles it out with the alien forces in orbit. This time, Rade's platoon is equipped with the fearsome power of the Zeus mechs - war machines that harbor electrolasers capable of discharging a billion volts of electricity per shot. You'd have to be an idiot to stand up to one of these. Tell that to the aliens.

Officially, Ethan Galaal doesn't exist. Very few people can do what he does, and do it well. Maybe a handful in the entire world. As the DIA's most valuable undercover operative, his missions span multiple roles that blur the lines between case officer, private investigator, kidnapper, and assassin.
