Love is the riskiest play of all. Ty Morales transferred schools for a clean slate—and found it on the ice, where his talent speaks louder than whispers about his past. But when he's paired with Nate Adler, a gifted but closeted teammate with everything to lose, sparks fly where they shouldn’t. Nate has one rule. No distractions. No feelings. Hockey is his only plan. But Ty is a complication he didn’t see coming—a soft smile, a sharper wit, and a heart Nate can’t ignore, even when it threatens everything. As chemistry on the ice turns into something harder to deny off it, both ...

Escalation is the watchword for the dangerous contest between the Imperium and the conclave. Executors seek the means to push the conclave out of the empire, and desperate measures are taken to design and construct new ships, which are armed with a terrible weapon.

After the passage of two decades, the Omnians discovered a second, critical clue about the Nua'll, humankind's enemy, while investigating Celus-4, the home world of the intelligent, canine-like aliens, the Dischnya. This striking discovery, combined with the final broadcast of the Nua'll sphere at Libre, prior to its detonation, gave Alex Racine and company the means to narrow the search for the Nua'll home world. Alex has a consuming desire to locate the point of origin of the Nua'll before another gigantic sphere arrives to destroy more human colonies.

Human descendants of the Earth colony ship Destiny face an incursion into their area of space by a powerful race. The Imperium Empire, which is ruled by the Krackus, is one wormhole away from the humans, and a rim mining planet, Kilmer, would be the alien race’s first contact. Fear rules the company leader. The Krackus represent danger. They sail powerful battleships. Moreover, the Naiad Council reels from the news that an alien race abuts their space. For centuries, humans in the Axis Crossing region thought they were alone.

The conclave continually pressures the Imperium Empire by ousting peacekeepers and Radag mercenaries from imperial territories. This interdicts resources bound for Krackus worlds from the suborned races and exacerbates Imperium distribution protocols. On Jegstrat, a populous Krackus world, declining grain shipments lead to favoring distribution to large companies. Saboteurs plan to slow production at Imperial Grains, the largest processing plant. The goal is to rebalance grain distribution, but the attack goes terribly awry, causing death and great damage.

After a global cataclysm wipes the slate clean, erasing centuries of culture, knowledge, and identity, the surviving civilization clings to a fabricated past designed by the ruling Unity Council. Dr. Vivian Calloway—a devoted historian—has spent years crafting the official narrative, innocently building the myths her government demands.

The conclave’s forces had reached a tipping point. Due to the vast expanse occupied by the empire’s thirty-five territories, Admiral Cordelia and Commander Tocknicka previously had to bide their time. They employed discreet tactical actions to harass the Krackus overseers and their mercenaries, the Radags. Now, Tridents in the hundreds and multiple Quadrants, with their experienced crews, were in place to deliver strategic actions against the Imperium Empire.

This book supports and develops the flat Earth perspective, but with a twist. It describes how the flat Earth view is enhanced by certain discoveries made during the space age, a time that we are still in, which includes the former race to the Moon between the US and the USSR during the 1960s and early 1970s. Most people accept the global Earth media narrative without question, but the actual configuration of the world is as strange and surprising as it is true. This book provides plentiful new evidence that the world is not a spinning globe, but a flat and immovable plane.

Imperium executors face daunting pressure to control their territories. The assembly’s election of a presiding executor upsets the body’s balance of power. A moderate, Gaketork, wins the election, unseating Rebtar. As required by Imperium law, Rebtar is forced to trade territories with Gaketork.

This sets up a dangerous collision between the Krackus fleets and the conclave ships.
