  I can't explain how or why I get these feelings, only that I know they're true.

  All the little secrets you're too afraid to tell.

  Sometimes, that means helping people. Other times, it means staring down the barrel of a loaded gun.

  I wish I could tell you I was using this ability for good.

  I wish I could tell you a lot of things.

  The Constable Returns

  Alphonse Malloy may just be the smartest man alive.

  A year has passed since Alphonse joined the Constables, but his work is only just beginning. In order to graduate and achieve full Constable status, Alphonse will need to complete one final mission.

  When new information about an old enemy arises, Al and his mentor Dorian must head deep into the Deadlands in search of answers.

  But in a galaxy of secrets, the truth is often more elusive than it seems.

  As the search continues, Alphonse's talents will be pushed to their absolute limit, and he'll need everything he's learned to make it out of this one alive.

  Warrior Queen (Lucia’s Story)

  On a lost world, far removed from Earth, a group of humans struggle to survive.

  Two thousand years after their ancestors lost control of a hidden genetics research facility, the descendants of mankind have been reduced to a tribe of two hundred survivors. They fight, kill, and die in an endless cycle, all in the hope that things will get better.

  Lucia is one of these colonists and the daughter of the tribe's leader, the Director. Together with several other candidates, she must soon undergo a trial to decide her father's replacement. The winner will shape the future of the entire colony.

  But the trial is dangerous, meant to test each candidate's wits and strengths to see who is truly worthy. To claim victory, Lucia will need to venture out into the tunnels near the city to search for lost artifacts known as Cores--small but powerful devices capable of harnessing endless energy.

  But there are monsters here, waiting in the dark, and they are always hungry. Beware the Boneclaw, Lucia's father use to tell her, for it lives only to kill and to feed.

  Lucia must do whatever it takes, learn as much as she can, and fight with every ounce of strength if she hopes to make it through the day.

  Forget winning the trial. The real challenge is staying alive.

  Resonant Son Series

  30 floors of nightmare fueled action. An ex-cop with nothing left to lose.

  After losing his job and family, Flint Reed finds himself in the middle of a terrorist attack. With nothing but his wits and experience as a former Union police officer, he must do everything he can to stay alive.

  As he soon discovers, however, there are also hostages, and no one is coming to save them.

  All hope falls to Flint.

  But as he fights to navigate the building, the real answers begin to unravel. What are the terrorists really after, and why are they so intent on getting into the vault?

  Experience the beginning of the Resonant Son series. If you're a fan of Die Hard, Renegade Star, or the Last Reaper, you'll love this epic scifi thrill ride.

  Galactic Law Series

  Lethal force is authorized.

  In the wild space of the Deadlands, Taurus Station is where miners and tourists come to play, and the ravager gangs follow close behind. Out here, far from the civilized world, the Law has a name.

  Gage Walker is the son of hard-nosed asteroid miners. Brash, rough, and crude, he's one of the few deputies working the station.

  Still a rookie, Walker is tasked with the security of a mining magnate's daughter, an easy job that quickly takes a turn for the worst.

  The ravager gangs want her, and it falls to Walker to find out why.

  In a chase across Taurus Station, Deputy Walker must prove he's fit to wear the badge and issue his own form of justice...one body at a time.

  Deadland Drifter Series

  When a dental appointment goes sideways, former Union Operative Jack Burner wakes to find himself drugged, and imprisoned.

  And he's given a choice: assassinate an Admiral... or allow himself to be killed.

  With no other option, Jack reluctantly accepts the mission, only to find himself being trailed by a mysterious blonde woman... and she may or may not want him dead.

  As if dealing with a terrorist group wasn't enough.

  With the fate of the Admiral and thousands of lives on hanging in the balance, Jack stands in the middle of an event that could ignite a war on the edge of the Deadlands and Union Space.

  Despite his exceptional abilities, training, and tenancy, even Jack has little to no chance of preventing this particular powder keg from exploding.

  He's going to need a miracle.

  The Renegade Series

  Jace Hughes is a Renegade.

  That means taking jobs and not asking questions, whether that involves smuggling, transporting runnaways, or performing other, far less wholesome work. Whatever the situation, Jace is willing to do what it takes to achieve his dream and live the life he’s always wanted.

  That is, until he comes face to face with an item of unprecedented value—something that could give him everything he needs to pay off his debt and be free.

  The only problem is that selling it would also shift the balance of power between the two largest empires in the galaxy.

  And spark another intergalactic war.

  Unfortunately for Jace, he won’t have long to decide. Renegades, assassins, and government cronies are after the item, too, and unlike Jace, they won’t hesitate to kill.
