Publisher's summary
In Kara: Book II of the Drake Chronicles, the galaxy still trembles in the wake of war. Admiral Jaxton Drake and the NIS space forces, having prevailed against the relentless Hrum, find victory short-lived when new threats emerge from the shadows.
After an unknown galactic system becomes a battleground, Jaxton finds himself torn between duty and family: His little sister’s life balancing on a knife’s edge. Meanwhile, Jaxton’s younger brother Ryan, stationed on the besieged planet of St. George, fights for the planet’s survival alongside the enigmatic Grand Monarch Izabelle St. Claire.
Painstakingly Jaxton navigates the treacherous depths of space to aid his brother where he unravels a web of intrigue and betrayal. The mysteries behind the Hrum’s initial invasion loom larger than ever, threatening not only the sovereignty of the planet and the stability of the galaxy but the very lives of those he holds most dear.
Join the Drake siblings on a pulse-pounding journey through the stars, where friendships will be forged, alliances will be tested, secrets will be revealed, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
Kara: A gripping military science fiction epic leaving you breathless until the very last minute.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,375
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story5 out of 5 stars 153,800
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story5 out of 5 stars 421
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
