The Freedom Reigns Series
The Siege of LX-925
In the early 23rd century, four nations dominate interstellar travel. Their programs have remained a mystery to the people of Earth, including their own people, and the UN wants to know why. Previous inspectors have yielded little insightful information. Dr. Remy Duval is the latest to venture into the unknown.
The Republic Ship Freedom has been ordered to remove a group of defiant miners from the dead world LX-925. As Remy marvels over the advanced technology at the crew's disposal, he quickly understands the horrific downside to these wonders. Risking everything, Remy schemes to bring a peaceful end to the standoff before it escalates into genocide.
The Vorman Insurgence
Broken and humiliated, Remy Duval must play the defeated prisoner to the sadistic Colonel Freedom while he plans his escape and return to Earth.
The Colonel and his crew are after answers to the uprising on LX-925 when new orders send them to TL-311, a planet recently conquered from an alien race called the Vorman. Half his lieutenants are sent down to the surface with their own teams to test their leadership. The mission: to seek out and eradicate any Vorman that remain behind.
With half the staff remaining behind, Remy expects to get his chance to take over the ship and make his escape…until Colonel Freedom sends him down to the planet with Lieutenant Anders. When things couldn’t get any worse, they find out too late there are more than just a few Vorman waiting on the surface.
The introduction to Hell is over…now it’s time for Remy to burn.
Subject D-20
When the Acerna threaten an Independent Union facility, the RS Freedom is called in to extract the Republic’s liaison. During the mission, Remy Duval witnesses the most heinous act yet, and decides he’s had enough. With a new ally by his side, he takes advantage of the growing chaos to attempt a mutiny.
Aliens get aboard, a spy runs loose, and to top it off, Major Sadile’s medical experiment, Subject D-20, escapes the medical bay; the sadistic Colonel may be the least of Remy’s worries. But one thing is certain: failure means the end of the road for the UN inspector.
The Fifth Fleet
With the Freedom under his control and repairs nearly complete, Remy Duval and his small crew of rebels find their plans to return to Earth placed on hold when a Vorman ship discovers their location. His old friend Sake seeks peace, but determining his true intentions will expose everyone’s secrets and betrayal. However it will be the Republic’s largest secret, the Fifth Fleet, that threatens all his dreams of peace.
Freedom’s Wake
Remy Duval's one chance to save Earth lies in navigating the Freedom across a deadly patch of concentrated radiation known as the Crucible. His sanctuary lies in a hidden dimension while the ship travels unguided. But when a race of mechanical beings slips aboard and threatens their plans, Remy and his crew must suffer exposure to repel this new menace.
Target: Earth
The race is on! Remy Duval must rely on every trick and tactic picked up during his long ordeal if he expects to stop the Vorman attack on Earth, but first he must deal with his own demons and the nagging fear that to win the day, he must sacrifice the last bits of his own morality. In the end, he may be more like the monsters he spent his life prosecuting than he cares to admit.
