It started as a better way to enhance the James Webb Space Telescope. A unit that looked the other way. It needed a team of people, and it needed a helpful AI system. Artificial Intelligence took over most of the work, but it did not rule out the need for human hands and minds. Then came a devastating discovery. A civilization of cyborgs, AI driven units in an expanding, circular wave, carefully harvesting only the warm planets like Earth, in a rapidly growing flat plane right toward Earth itself. It will take the combined minds of man and AI alike to stop the scourge, before it is too late...

Roland was a man out of place, a boy who had been pushed through the system, learning war, learning Christianity and learning to kill. Like most soldiers, he did not learn to hate. He followed orders just as soldiers do in this era. But he came from the thirteenth century, the sixth and seventh crusades. He did not hate the infidels, he simply did as he was told, and did it well. However, he bravely fought through Damietta as the Templar Knights, all of 290 strong in their frightening armor and massive horses, along with well over a 200,000 member strong Frankish army and calvary (French), ...

She did not ask to be here. Her Uncle Beauford always talked of her being the first 'Lady US Marshal.' But, that was just talk. Still, she trained and practiced until she was deadly.

Especially the top. Outlaws, beware. You asked for it, now you gotta deal with it.

A semi-fictional warning told in Police vignettes. In the wilderness, any hunter with any common sense knows the rule. If you do not represent a threat, the animals, even the predators, will leave you alone.
