To End A War... Nearly a thousand years ago a great warrior named Lachlan sought
to unify his people, using the power of the Three Swords of Destiny. Before his
victory, Lachlan was killed by his trusted friend, Allarun. Now, Allarun is still
in power but haunted by dreams of Lachlan's death curse: that Lachlan would return
to avenge his death. Allarun's decision is to destroy the very people Lachlan tried
to unite. Only two men have the power to stop the slaughter. Romarin, the last of a
line of kings, and a half-blood mercenary named Shadowhelm. One may be destined to
be Lachlan, but can they unlock the secret to Lachlan's power before Allarun kills
them?

A top-secret AI project.
A deadly power struggle between warlords.
Tomi was once lead combat programmer for the Shogun Ryogi, on the front lines of his conflict against President William the Black of Cerberus. When she failed to prevent William from killing the samurai she loved, she abandoned all sides, all loyalties, all hope. In her fury, Tomi destroyed the Greatship, Hades IV, and almost everyone onboard. Almost everyone. . .
William the Black escaped with his life.
She now hides out in a remote monastery, awaiting the day when she can kill the three she holds responsible for the death of her samurai: William, Ryogi, and herself. . .
With her real body in exile, Tomi's consciousness inhabits a deteriorating clone body on a satellite around Cerberus. She's lived and worked incognito in orbit for almost three years now, monitoring the planet's subspace debris cleanup.
But some histories will not stay buried.
Tomi again finds herself in the crossfire when Ryogi's forces ambush the Presidential shuttle in her sector.
Ryogi's samurai have pirated remote control of her satellite's store of dormant clone bodies; his combat programmers fight her for the station's computers, while the planet's extrasphere swarms with deadly smart-mines. Will she be able to protect the President's shuttle to secure her own vengeance? Will she be able to hold her satellite together? Or will Tomi abandon it all and give in to despair?

The Cluster is a vast alien machine that destroys starships indiscriminately in
its quest for something or someone. Commander John Mark Ellis, disgraced and
booted out of the service when he fails to save a merchant ship, believes the key
to stopping the Cluster is communication. His mother, Suki Firebrandt Ellis is
a historian who believes the very leaders of the galaxy are withholding
information about the Cluster. Clyde McClintlock believes the Cluster is God
incarnate, seeking retribution. G'Liat is an alien warrior whose own starship
was destroyed by the Cluster. All together, they set out to solve the mystery of
the Cluster before it finds the object of its quest.

Sufiro, also available at Podiobooks.com.

The Earth has gone silent. John Mark Ellis and the crew of the Sanson are
sent to investigate. When they arrive, they find vast alien machines known as
Clusters in orbit. Fearing the worst, they land and discover that the once
overcrowded, polluted Earth has become a paradise of sorts. The problem is over
half the population is dead or missing and the planet's leaders don't seem to
care. As Ellis works to unravel the mystery, sudden gravitational shifts from
the galaxy's center indicate something even worse is in the offing. Can Ellis
save the galaxy from the heirs of the new Earth?

vision of the future." S. Derrickson Moore, Las Cruces Sun-News
