Empire Betrayed: The Fall of Sejanus

In 29 A.D., Emperor Tiberius Caesar, living in self-imposed exile on the Isle of Capri, entrusts his Praetorian Prefect, Lucius Aelius Sejanus, with the administration of the vast Roman Empire. Under Sejanus’ iron fist, and unbeknownst to Tiberius, the ranks of the Senate and equites are subsequently purged of the Praetorian’s enemies. Treason trials, once prohibited in Rome, have become commonplace as Sejanus relentlessly punishes any who would defy him in his quest for power.

After many years of commanding the cavalry of the Army of the Rhine, Tribune Aulus Nautius Cursor at last returns to Rome, amidst the turmoil. Two years later is elected as a Tribune of the Plebs; the representatives of the people who hold the power of veto over the Senate. It is Cursor who discovers Sejanus’ sinister plans; that he seeks to overthrow Tiberius and name himself Emperor.

Duty bound to save the Empire from falling further under a tyrannical usurper, Cursor resolves to unravel the conspiracy and bring the perpetrators to justice. Aiding him is an old friend; a retired Master Centurion named Gaius Calvinus. Regrettably, they know that if successful, Tiberius’ retribution will be swift and brutal, sparing neither the innocent nor the guilty. This leaves only two dark paths for Cursor and Calvinus; either allow the pending reign of terror under a ruthless usurper, or unleash the unholy vengeance of an Emperor betrayed.

ATLAS Isaac Hooke

Three times the height of an ordinary man and ten times wider, the ATLAS mech represents the peak of combat engineering. Rade Galaal will become a one-man army…if he can survive the training.

The MOTHs: elite warriors, products of the most arduous military training known to man. Only the MOTHs can master the devastating, atomic-powered battle suits dubbed ATLAS, massive weapons-laden mechs that constitute an unstoppable ground force when piloted by the consummate soldiers of the MOTH teams. Can Rade make the grade, ascending from raw recruit to ATLAS war machine?

Careful what you wish for: when Special Warfare Command sets a mission beyond the limits of explored space, all of the conditioning, sacrifice, and hard-won skill—and the awesome might of the ATLAS technology—may not be enough to confront the unforeseen horrors found there. Rade’s dream of military glory might just turn out to be the ultimate nightmare.

ATLAS 2

The desperate battle on far-flung Geronimo may have ended in a qualified victory for the elite MOTH soldiers in their devastating, atomic-powered ATLAS mechs…but the cost was a massive one, paid in blood. Rade Galaal, graduate of the toughest military training in the universe, barely survived the terrifying mission in deep space that claimed the lives of the two people he couldn’t afford to lose: a comrade who was more than a brother, and someone who was his whole world.

Lost, broken, and questioning his place as a MOTH and as a man, Rade faces a new crisis when an enemy force—a terrifyingly familiar one—threatens the future of humanity itself. Entering human territory from the depths of uncharted space where Rade lost everything, this massive alien vessel wears the face of death.

Once the nightmarish invader begins threatening total annihilation, can Rade and his team hope to prevail…or even survive?

ATLAS 3

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.

The vile insectile aliens that once threatened Earth have regrouped to engineer a new apocalyptic assault on mankind, and the ATLAS mechs are called to defend the very survival of the human race.

On the desolate, far-flung moons of Tau Ceti II, there will come a reckoning. Earth’s adversaries are legion, and the planet’s soldiers—for all of their rigorous training and amazing ordnance—are only flesh and blood. But they possess a defiant will to survive. Will Rade find the strength to reforge his shattered spirit and defeat the alien onslaught before all is lost?

Battle Harem AKA time for clang

Trapped in the uninhabitable zone with three machine women. All of them very hot. And very horny. Not to mention deadly.

Jason was a little short on creds so he decided to get his mind scanned. It seemed like a good idea at the time: get paid to license a copy of your mind for use in one of the numerous machines that run society. What could go wrong?

Turns out, a lot.

Jason wakes up in the middle of the radioactive wasteland that was created fifty years ago when aliens destroyed half the Earth. He has no idea why he's here, or what the hell he's supposed to do. Worst of all, he's no longer human: his consciousness has been installed into the AI core of a state-of-the-art war machine, a mech with enough firepower to raze a small city.

One would think the military wouldn't want to misplace something like that. Whoops.

Hunted by mutated alien bioweapons, Jason travels the wasteland in an attempt to piece together what happened. Along the way he encounters a few abandoned war machines that also have no memory of their mission, machines that can't decide whether they want to join him or kill him. It doesn't help that in VR they all look like super hot women.

Sometimes it's tough being a machine.

When Jason and his new companions discover what they're truly capable of, however, everything changes.

And not necessarily for the better.

Battle Harem 2

One man. Five women. Ten thousand alien invaders.

Alien rifts are opening throughout Earth's uninhabited zone. The rogue AI Bokerov is stepping up his guerrilla assaults. And Jason is still trying to come to terms with his unexpected new role as the commander of a battle harem.

He was just a geek who decided to have his mind scanned, only to wake up inside a war machine in the middle of the uninhabited zone. Technically, he's what is known as a Mind Refurb: a human mind trapped in the body of a machine. But thanks to a virtual reality simulation running within his AI core, sometimes he even feels human.

He has joined forces with five Mind Refurb women. They're hot as sin in Virtual Reality and deadly as hell in the real world. Definitely not the kind of girls he would ordinarily mess with.

Battle harem 3

Jason made his choice. He joined the invading aliens to fight against humanity, if only temporarily.

Unfortunately, his team of deadly female war machines, the War Forgers, didn’t quite agree with that decision. No surprise there.

And now he's paying the price.

Drawn into a pitched battle with the invaders, Jason and his army are forced to retreat through a space-time rift to the alien homeworld.

There, surrounded by more powerful enemies than he has ever faced before, with his troops systematically captured and melted down for their spare parts, he faces his greatest challenge yet.

Can he pull the team together and overcome not only his demons, but those of the War Forgers, in time to save humanity? And more importantly, can he save the team itself?

Hoplite

A warlike alien race. A stranded platoon. One man's fight to save his brothers–and humanity itself–from total annihilation.

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.

Cut off from the fleet, stranded on an unforgiving planet, and surrounded by hostiles, Rade and his men find themselves fighting for their very lives against a seemingly unstoppable foe. Even the awesome firepower of the Hoplites might not be enough.

Can Rade overcome his demons in time to save the platoon, or will his team become the first casualty of the coming Alien War?

Zeus

The Alien War continues.

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.

During one of his intense sorties into the fallen capital city, Rade makes an important discovery that could completely change the course of the war, not to mention his own life.

Titan

One man's final fight to save those closer to him than brothers.

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. There are more than a few survivors. Much more. And most of the planetary defenses are still intact.

When Rade and his Titans find themselves stranded without backup or support, he must call upon all of his training and inner strength if he hopes to lead his men to safety. But where do you go when you're trapped behind enemy lines and a whole planet is against you?

The Forever Gate Compendium (1-5)

The world as we know it is about to end.

Hoodwink Cooper has been sentenced to death. His crime? Attempting to blast a hole in the Forever Gate, the colossal wall that surrounds the city and protects the denizens from the uninhabitable Outside.

As the gols, the humanlike automata who rule the city, prepare to carry out his sentence, a rogue faction plots even greater turmoil. Hoodwink’s daughter is embroiled with this cabal, and if Hoodwink gives up the ghost without first extricating her from their clutches, she will most likely join him in the afterlife. What Hoodwink and the cabal members don’t realize is that they are all pawns in a greater game whose stakes are the very survival of humanity as a species.

Will Hoodwink escape in time to save his daughter? More importantly, will he break free of the invisible forces that guide him? Or will he succumb to the domination of his unseen masters and cause the breaking of the world, losing not just his daughter, but everything?

THE FOREVER GATE combines elements of science fiction & fantasy to evoke a unique setting entirely unlike anything you’ve ever read before.

The book originally started life as a 24,000-word novella. In the first two weeks of its release, that novella sold 1,000 copies without any promotion whatsoever. What began as an experiment turned out to be something of a cult hit. Isaac Hooke soon decided to expand upon the concept presented in the novella, and created four more volumes of increasing size. Each volume consistently shot to the top of the Amazon short-story best-seller list, and on March 20, 2013, it won the Indie Book of the Day award.

The compendium edition is the compilation of these five volumes.

Rebirth

Ari and Tanner investigate a series of peculiar occurrences in the virtual world of the Inside that point to the rebirth of One, the rogue AI that nearly destroyed them all in the last adventure.

Soon Ari and Tanner find themselves embroiled in a plot that could lead to all out war on the Inside. Hibernating colonists begin to awaken en masse from the digital world, straining the already meager resources of the generation ship that houses them.

If Ari and Tanner do not prevail, the last vestiges of humankind could be wiped from the galaxy, their sole legacy: a lifeless generation ship lying in pieces on the Jovian moon of Ganymede.

Walls of Steel

Hoodwink returns to Earth to find the world conquered by the alien race known as the Satori. The few humans who remain are oppressed, little more than slaves waiting to house the consciousnesses of their Satori masters. Robots patrol the streets and drones rule the skies, keeping the populace in check.

More than anything Hoodwink wants to journey to Ganymede to help Ari and Tanner, but he is trapped on that bleak planet. So instead he assumes human form and joins other Satori surrogates in one of the conquered cities. Eventually he comes to terms with his new life and accepts that humanity cannot be saved.

And then one day he meets a strange woman who changes everything.

The pendulum swings

Hoodwink reunites with Ari and Tanner as the Satori mothership bears down on Ganymede. Meanwhile, Amoch's army plots death and destruction on the Inside, drawing much needed resources away from the battle against the aliens.

Desperate times require desperate plans. Are Hoodwink, Ari and Tanner up for the task?

Of course they are. That is, until a few old enemies show up.

The last stand

The epic conclusion to the Forever Gate saga.

Hoodwink risks everything to destroy the Satori mothership in orbit.

Tanner hunts down the rogue Children responsible for the upheaval on the Inside.

The Colonial Post-Captain: A Carlisle and Holbrooke Naval Adventure (Carlisle and Holbrooke Naval Adventures Book 1)

The Western Mediterranean, 1756. An uneasy peace is about to be shattered as France’s greatest living general prepares an invasion force in Toulon; but where is it bound?

Captain Carlisle hails from Virginia, a loyal colony of the British Crown. As the clouds of war gather, Carlisle’s small frigate — Fury — is ordered to Toulon on a reconnaissance mission. If battling the winter weather in the Gulf of Lions is not a sufficient challenge, Carlisle must also juggle the delicate diplomatic issues in this period of pre-war tension while contending with an increasingly belligerent French frigate.

But Carlisle has additional problems unique to his colonial origins: he has no professional or political sponsors and an uninspiring group of followers, both of which are essential to a mid-eighteenth century naval career. How can a penniless second son from Virginia overcome these crippling deficiencies?

George Holbrooke, Carlisle’s reluctant master’s mate, cannot disguise his lack of enthusiasm for the tedium of the peacetime navy. His attitude changes as he experiences combat and personal danger, but can he persuade his captain that he has turned the corner? And can he achieve that vital promotion to commissioned status?

The British frigate Medina rescues the governor from his hurricane-wrecked ship, leading Captain Edward Carlisle and his first lieutenant George Holbrooke into a web of intrigue and half-truths. Are the Dutchmen operating under a letter of marque or are they pirates, and why are they hunting the Spaniard? Only the diplomatic skills of Carlisle’s aristocratic wife, Lady Chiara, can solve the puzzle.

When Carlisle is injured, the young Holbrooke must grow up quickly. Under his leadership, Medina takes part in a one-sided battle with the French that will influence a young Horatio Nelson to choose the navy as a career.

The Jamaica Squadron follows The Colonial Post-Captain and The Leeward Islands Squadron as the third of the Carlisle and Holbrooke naval adventures.

The Gunrunners

Delville Wood

No battlefield on all the Western Front was more bitterly contested than was ‘Devil’s Wood.’

It was “the bloodiest hell of 1916,” and of the 3,200 soldiers of the 1st South African Infantry Brigade that entered the battle on July 14 less than 800 mustered afterwards.

For six days and five nights, in the solitary square mile of Delville Wood, the South Africans stood firm against three crack German divisions.

By the time they were relieved a legend had been born, but who were these men that took and held the wood in an inferno of exploding shells, flame-throwers, machine-gun and rifle fire?

Fresh-faced youths, Boer War and South West African campaign veterans, enlistees with false names … all were volunteers whose overriding desire was to serve in France.

Iron Times With the Guards

Geoffrey Fildes served as a senior subaltern and company commander in the Coldstream Guards during the First World War.

Starting with Fildes enlistment in the Army, Iron Time With the Guards follows Fildes as he found his feet in the military.

Fildes unit was behind the lines on the First Day of the Somme, but he describes the alarming reports that seeped back from the front.

Working at night on barbed wire and defence maintenance, Fildes and his men avoided machine gun bullets in the dark.

And when a shell took out a trench near Fildes’ unit, it was up to him and his men to dig out their comrades with any tools they had…

Scenes of life behind the lines, in the trenches and during the assault of battle are graphically related making it a truly indispensable volume for anyone interested in the war the infantry knew.

Convoys of supply ships are making their way from America to England, protected by a rapidly assembled fleet of modernised war ships.

The Carmerthen, one of the destroyers, is home to seaman Donald Cameron, a nineteen-year old Commission and Warrant candidate at the bottom of the barrel for the taunting sailors.

The outmoded warship tests his resolve as he is faced with the tense task of keeping watch for enemy attacks.

But in the hubbub of lower deck life it is easy to forget they are sailing in dangerous waters…

Dangerous Waters (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 2)

Under Orders (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 3)

Portsmouth, 1942.

War has engulfed the world, and the Allied losses are mounting.

After time spent on dangerous North Atlantic convoy duties, and the hazards of the Mediterranean sea, Donald Cameron faces time as a assistant divisional officer of the CW Division.

Detached from the real war, he yearns for action.

He won’t be kept waiting for long.

Recruited to the HMS Castle Bay,his is back on an ocean boarding vessel with a secret mission.

Word has reached the Special Operations Executive that the Germans are building something on the shores of Vest Hammerfjord.

The site is inaccessible to aircraft, and it is up the Navy to transport a trained demolition team to seek out and destroy whatever the enemy is hiding.

But they must get past the German defences, which include the Battle-cruiser Scharnhurst, with nine 11-inch guns and the heavy cruiser Admiral Hiffer, with eight 8-inch guns.

Sub-lieutenant Cameron has invaluable knowledge of the treacherous Norwegian coast from his trawling days.

An Act of War (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 4)

World War Two.

Lieutenant Donald Cameron, DSC, rapidly gaining hard-won experience on naval battle stations, is drafted to the antiquated cruiser Northumberland.

The ships task is to destroy German raiders on Allied supply routes.

When at last the old Northumberland goes down, after a gruelling battle with a German heavy cruiser, Cameron is the only executive officer left amongst the survivors in the boats — apart from his sick captain, often delirious but determined to command.

Thousands of miles from land and shipping lanes, their only hope is to be picked up by a roving warship.

None too soon, after many suffer the lingering deaths of exposure and starvation, an armed German supply ship approaches.

Taken hostage, Cameron and his men are desperate to escape the German battleship.

Can Cameron fight his German captors to keep his men alive?

Can he act as Captain when his own cannot perform?

And can he stay alive long enough to be rescued?

Storm of War (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 5)

Lieutenant Donald Cameron thought himself inured to the rigours of the wartime Navy…until he joined the destroyer Burnside, and one of the most important convoys of 1942.

Defense and civilian suppliers, liners crammed with soldiers, and a 21,000-ton tanker — the British Racer — loaded with highly inflammable aviation spirit made up a massive, unwieldy convoy bound for the besieged island of Malta; and a full complement of aircraft carriers and warships was detailed to protect it.

Having suffered few losses from German U-boat harassment before reaching Gibraltar, morale in the Burnside seemed high — though the chances of reaching Malta unscathed were minimal.

Despite a constant barrage of anti-aircraft guns, the dive-bombing Stukas closed in rapidly, forcing the convoy into the path of the E-boats’ menacing torpedo trails… the Lieutenant is keeping his wits about him.

A true test of determination, resilience and good old fashioned strategic warfare is essential.

But will it be enough to get them across the Mediterranean to safety?

Cold War (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 6)

A convoy of supply ships is making its way through northern Europe to Russia.

Travelling through the freezing and treacherous Norwegian Sea, Cameron and the crew of the Sprinter have been entrusted with a precious cargo.

As well as safeguarding a large consignment of vital equipment and ammunition enroute to Archangel, Russia, the battle-weary frigate Sprinter has to transport, secretly, a British cabinet minister and a top Russian marshal bound for an arms conference in Moscow.

As the German Navy and the Luftwaffe must not suspect the Sprinter’s cargo of VIPs, she is ordered not to detach independently from the convoy, no matter what happens.

The final shattering attack on her convoy could prove deadly and her safe arrival at the Russian port cannot be assured.

Although in Allied territory, the onward journey of the two VIPs is constantly jeopardized by unforeseen dangers and the intrepid Cameron finds himself once again in the firing line.

The gruelling sub-zero temperatures, unremitting air raids, and enemy attacks faced by the men on convoy duty form a grim background to Lieutenant Donald Cameron's wartime experience in the frigate Sprinter.>>10359

Ship of Fate (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 7)

World War Two. North Africa.

When Lieutenant Donald Cameron joined the corvette Oleander at Freetown he imagined they would be doing routine convoy duty.

But Oleander’s task is to take part in the seaborne invasion of North Africa, supporting Montgomery in his pursuit of the African Korps, and to join the immensely complicated maneuvers of Operation Torch.

Small and outdated, Oleander nonetheless has a vital part to play in the Torch strategy, involving a huge number of Allied warships spread throughout the Mediterranean.

Having narrowly escaped the heavy screen of German U-boats off the coast of Gibraltar, the Oleander receives new instructions to contact a Free French admiral who has information that could jeopardize the success of both the land and sea forces in Operation Torch.

A secret dump, thought to be a germ warfare depot, has been discovered in a small fishing village with canisters of anthrax ready for deployment in case of German retreat.

Cameron is one of the volunteers sent ashore near Mers-el-Kabir to capture the dump, but his party is totally unprepared for the dangers that they face.

Landmines, machine-gun fire and the German army’s determination to release the anthrax ensure that Cameron and his team face a near-impossible mission.

In Command (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 8)

Placed in command of the tiny corvette, HM Briar, Donald Cameron is given the unenviable task of blocking a powerful Japanese fleet as the make their way towards the vulnerable Falkland Islands.

Briar must blow up the narrow passage at Cape Horn to prevent more Japanese naval attacks on British territory.

Given Briar’s size and lack of resources, this truly is a David vs Goliath mission and Cameron must utilise all his strategic knowledge to achieve the seemingly impossible.

Travelling west from Africa, U-boats dog their journey west, and in the Falklands Japanese bombers attack from snow-filled skies.

Then, after two enemy cruisers escape the Briar’s trap, Cameron has a deadly choice: slip away and hide until the Japanese leave or stay and fight — one corvette against powerful, heavily gunned cruisers.

With the freezing weather hampering their efforts even further, Cameron’s quickly depleting crew must be willing to risk everything to protect their territory.

The odds are against him, but running away is not Cameron’s style …

On Land and Sea (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 9)

In this action-packed nautical thriller set during World War II, Lieutenant-Commander Cameron finds himself out of his element and undertaking a dangerous mission in neutral waters.

During the height of World War II and just returned from naval adventures in the South Atlantic, Lieutenant-Commander Cameron is given fresh draft orders to report to the mysterious “Mr Cambridge”.

Despite his protestations that he’s “no cloak-and-dagger man, sir”, Cameron is sent on a dangerous mission to ‘cut out’ a German vessel from a neutral port.

Flown to Gibraltar, Cameron must travel, disguised as a Spanish workman, to the frontier town of La Linea, where he is to meet a British agent.

The plan is to infiltrate the Kaiserhof, a ship of crucial technological importance, capable of wreaking havoc on the allied naval defenses. Once infilitrated, Cameron’s mission is to take the ship intact to England.

All seems to go to plan, as Cameron and his team of seamen make their trek to the port of Cadiz, until Mr Cambridge turns up unexpectedly.

Cameron and his hand-picked party of seamen are determined to take over control of the Kaiserhof and steal Herr Hitler’s prize from right under his nose.

Against All Odds (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 10)

They are there to do what the RAF could not: blow the pens that berthed the deadly German U-boats to kingdom come.

It’s a pet scheme cooked up by high-ups, reportedly by the man himself, to penetrate the French port of Brest.

Lieutenant-Commander Cameron has orders not to reveal a word of the mission until they have left port, but for the crew, the detachment of marine commandos on board are a dead giveaway that this is no ordinary mission.

On a crumbling old P-class destroyer with less than adequate supplies and firepower, Cameron has a sneaking suspicion that no one even expects them to return. His suspicions are confirmed when he realizes the overwhelming odds he and his men face.

A band of fierce and resilient maquisards await Churchill’s special mission on land, but as Cameron and Operation Scatter near Brest they are met by fierce German artillery. As the senior officer’s ship is blown out the water and command falls into Cameron’s hands, all seems lost.

But with German warships closing in and the French Resistance still miles away, Cameron puts into action a plan of his own.

Cameron faces division amongst his officers, overwhelming firepower from the Germans, and the sense on board that the men are already doomed. But he is determined to carry out his mission objective and bring as many men home safely as possible.

Hunted (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 11)

A secret radio broadcast warns that Hitler’s newest and most powerful battleship the Attila, is moving in the for the kill under the cover of fog and snowstorms.

Its target, the liners Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, now doing duty as troop ships crossing the North Atlantic.

Cameron commanding the destroyer Glenshiel must outwit an unseen enemy … positioning himself between the battleship and its prey in a split-second game of hide, seek and destroy.

But with the British fleet out at sea and communication lines down, it becomes harder and harder to distinguish between friend and foe.

On the Glenshiel itself seeds of discord are sown by tensions amongst the men and distressing news of events at home.

A resentful actor, a navyman recently betrayed by his wife’s affair and a power hungry officer are but a few of the characters ensnared in this tragic nightmare at sea.

Cameron weighs up the lives of his men and his duty to the Royal Navy. Will they make the ultimate sacrifice?

Prisoner of War (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 12)

Lieutenant-Commander Cameron is being tested: tested by his men, tested by the war and now tested by the weather.

When his destroyer, Caithness, is hit by a typhoon he is forced to make hard choices.

His choice to save a Japanese man washed onto the Caithness by the storm pays off, however, when it uncovers proof of Cameron’s suspicions.

Somewhere out in the ocean, British prisoners of war are being shipped from Singapore to Rangoon and sold into slavery in the Burmese jungle.

It’s only when he finds that slave ship that he realises the consequence of his actions.

With the British POWs on board, can Cameron risk attacking the ship?

As the two ships face each other in a gripping showdown, Cameron’s choices come to mean more than he could have imagined.

Secret Mission (Donald Cameron Naval Thrillers Book 13)

The Second World War. The Nazis occupy France. Air raids regularly pummel British cities.

And the HMS Castile, a light cruiser with an extensive history, has just launched on her final mission, with Lieutenant-Commander Donald Cameron of the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in command.

Although the post would normally go to a captain in the regular navy, the Castile’s last voyage is no ordinary one.

Her crew has been handpicked by Winston Churchill himself, many with prior connections to the ship, and slated for a special — and perilous — mission…one that the crew only learns about once they’re on their way.

The Prime Minister has implemented a desperate strategy to carry the Allies through one of the most dangerous engagements in the war, along the darkened coast of occupied France. The Castile makes her way towards Dieppe, destined to become a blockship.

Everyone aboard, from Cameron down to the lowliest rating, knows there’s a good chance none of them will be coming back.

Dieppe is dangerous, and made even more so by the ship’s second mission: to extract an English agent before the Nazis get to him themselves.

As they face possible extermination, the crew’s minds drift across the Channel towards home, and the family, friends, and lovers they have left behind.

Sinking Ship (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 14)

Lieutenant-Commander Cameron, RNVR, is up against impossible odds.

He and his men are travelling aboard the Charger, under the watchful eye of Captain Mason-Goodson and his crew.

Cameron and his men are under orders not to interfere and to behave more like passengers than crew members.

But when the boat is hit by a freak storm things start to take a bad turn and Mason-Goodson’s decisions begin to cost lives and turn even his own crew against him.

And around them, the Second World War is raging and nobody has the men to spare to rescue the Charger.

Chaos erupts, the ship is barely holding on and Cameron finds himself placed in and out of command as Mason-Goodwin’s health plummets more and more.

Can Cameron keep the crew afloat until rescue comes?

Standing the Final Watch (The Last Brigade Book 1)

America might be dead, but Nick Angriff will kick your ass to resurrect her.

Lt. General Nick Angriff has spent his adult life protecting family and country from a world of terrorism spinning out of control. On the battlefield, off the grid, in clandestine special task forces and outright black ops, Angriff never wavers from duty. But when a terror attack on Lake Tahoe kills his family, he’s left with only the corrosive acid of revenge… that is, until a hated superior officer reveals the deepest of all secret operations. Against the day of national collapse, a heavily-armed military unit rests in cryogenic storage, to be awakened when needed, and Angriff is named its commander.

Fifty years later he wakes to find the USA destroyed and predatory warlords roaming the ruins. Stalked by assassins bent on seizing his command for their own purposes, Angriff has to prepare for war while avoiding murder.

Because the only wall still shielding survivors from slavery and death are the men and women of The Last Brigade.

Standing in the Storm (The Last Brigade Book 2)

When the Last Brigade begins its mission of rebuilding America, they find enemies on all sides. In nearby Prescott, Arizona, a maniacal warlord proclaims himself the legitimate successor to the USA. To the east lurks the strange religious cult named the Caliphate of the Seven Prayers of the New Prophet, which kills anyone who doesn’t convert. And why is a Chinese military vehicle found to the north?

In a tornado of exploding metal, Nick Angriff risks everyone and everything to save the innocents he has sworn to protect. Outnumbered and outgunned, the 7th Cavalry will not be outfought. They must either stand in the storm or see their beloved country die a final death.

Standing at the Edge (The Last Brigade Book 3)

Nick Angriff’s ultimate enemy finally takes the stage and the 7th Cavalry will never be the same.

Operation Overtime has come through its first winter in post-Collapse America in better shape than expected. Food is plentiful, the city of Prescott is healing, and there’s even a battalion of new recruits for the Marines. Everything seems to be going Angriff’s way, until people start trying to kill him again.

When the aggressive Chinese send an armored force to capture old America’s largest tank farm, Angriff can rally only desperate measures to stop them. But first he must crush the traitors both inside and outside of Operation Overtime.

Angriff must rely on others to do what he has always done for himself. As the body count mounts, he has to determine who he can trust and who wants him dead.
