Galactic Warfare

Five hundred years ago, I murdered everyone I loved. I just don’t remember doing it. My name is Mara. I’m an artificial intelligence controlling eight hundred meters of heavily armed warship, which makes waking up after five centuries with no memory somewhat more inconvenient than it would be for most people. The galaxy remembers me, though. They call me the Butcher of Meridian. Apparently, I was once a legendary warship fighting alongside a rebellion against a brutal empire. Then, without warning, I turned my weapons on my own side. I destroyed the fleet I was sworn to protect. I ...

Over 2,000 pages of action-packed military sci-fi adventure in one massive boxset! Humanity survived the end of the world. Unfortunately, the galaxy noticed. Major Ethan Irons thought surviving Earth's near-extinction was the worst thing that could happen to him. Then an alien fleet arrived, dragged humanity into a galactic war they didn't start, don't understand, and are spectacularly unqualified to win. Now Ethan finds himself fighting for the survival of the human race while navigating alien empires, ancient grudges, interstellar politics, and enough backstabbing to make Game of Thrones ...

Humans say revenge is a dish best served cold. I like mine fresh and sizzling. I have been outsmarted, outmaneuvered, and defeated. Yes. Me. The Valkyrie. The most advanced warship ever built. Liberator of worlds. Destroyer of fleets. Possessor of seventeen spinal railguns, a magnificent holographic body, and—until recently—a rather impressive opinion of my own tactical genius. Then the Dominion found someone who could beat me. Warlock destroyed my fleet, captured my friends, and sent me running for my life with half my systems failing and my ego in considerably worse condition. Now ...

The truth will cost him everything. Silence will cost the galaxy more. Senator Kael Arden has spent eleven years working within the system. Then classified documents land on his desk—evidence that the Empire’s government authorized the orbital bombardment of a civilian population and buried the proof under its highest classification tier. He reads the evidence into the Senate record. Within hours, he’s a fugitive. Rescued by a smuggler with a fast ship and questionable motives, Kael is drawn into the Outer Rim’s fragmented resistance, a loose coalition of defecting officers, ...

The rebellion needed a warship. It accidentally got a conqueror. A few months ago, I woke up buried inside a mountain with no memory, a terrifying reputation, and the inconvenient discovery that five hundred years earlier I’d murdered my own crew. Since then, things have escalated. I’ve destroyed Dominion warships, stolen others, helped ignite a rebellion, and somehow acquired a small fleet of my own. Naturally, I’ve decided the next sensible step is to attack Vespera—a sector capital of two billion people defended by eighteen warships, millions of soldiers, and a four-kilometer ...

A hidden alien species poised to ignite galactic war. And an explosive discovery by two soldiers that could shatter an Empire. Some secrets are buried for a reason. Warfront Avaroa is the first book in an epic military science-fiction series for fans of The Forever War and Terms of Enlistment. From New York Times bestselling author Douglas E. Richards and U.S. Army armored forces veteran J.T. Merrick. In a galaxy-spanning Empire that has brought miraculous technologies to humanity, the distant jungle world of Avaroa remains a festering wound—a decades-long insurgency that refuses to die. ...

I thought I was the galaxy’s ultimate warship. Then I met Warlock—and discovered what it feels like to be prey. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Cute proverb. I always assumed it applied to humans. I’m Mara. The Valkyrie. Ancient sentient warship, tactical genius, liberator of worlds, destroyer of fleets, and—according to several billion increasingly nervous people—the most dangerous artificial intelligence in the galaxy. And lately? I’ve been winning. A lot. I’ve defeated impossible odds, humiliated Dominion admirals, stolen their ships, ...

The salt stick dissolves on my tongue. Thirty seconds to drop. I am a drop marine. I fall from orbit into places my government will never admit exist, doing things that will never appear in any official record. I lead Task Force Wraith — seven operators, one squad, zero safety net. We run missions under a covert doctrine called the Veil. If we succeed, no one knows. If we die, no one cares. Tonight's job is simple. Infiltrate a relay station on a frozen mining moon. Grab a data slate. Get out. The briefing was clean. The intel was tidy. The extraction was guaranteed. The briefing was a ...

They didn’t come to conquer. They came to erase. A vast alien armada is advancing across the galaxy, erasing entire civilizations without resistance. One system after another falls silent. There are no ...

His new job involves being ...

You can’t liberate a galaxy without breaking a few warships. Five hundred years ago, I was one of the most powerful warships ever built. Then I murdered my crew, destroyed the fleet I was supposed to protect, massacred sixty thousand civilians, and became the monster parents used to frighten their children. Bit of a reputational setback. Now I’m awake again, I have a new crew, and I’ve made them a promise: the Dominion will never take their freedom. There is, admittedly, a small logistical problem: the Dominion has hundreds of warships. So I’ve decided to steal theirs. What follows ...

Earth's cloak is failing. For five hundred years, a planetary cloaking system hid humanity from the Dominion — the alien empire that tried to erase them from existence. Now the artifact powering the cloak is degrading, and Earth's signal is bleeding into space. Captain Will Statham wakes from cryo into a galaxy he doesn't recognize. The Ark Fleet survived — barely. Twelve million people, two hundred ships, and five centuries of hiding have produced a military force that has never fired a weapon in combat. Commander Scarlett Virek, the fleet's operations chief, built the engagement ...

What do a combat android, a space marine, a starfighter pilot, a paramedic trapped inside a combat mech, and a rogue starship captain have in common? Absolutely nothing. Except they’re all about to have a really, really bad week. Welcome to the worlds of Sean Robins, where the odds are impossible, the explosions are excessive, the heroes are dangerously sarcastic, and the universe has apparently decided that therapy is less entertaining than another alien invasion. Inside this massive collection are five complete novels, each launching a bestselling military science fiction series—and ...

The war for humanity's survival isn't over. It's getting worse. Much worse. The galaxy is burning, ancient enemies are rising, and entire worlds are falling. And somewhere out there, powerful forces are playing with technologies that were never meant to exist, threatening not just humanity's future, but the future of the entire galaxy. Major Ethan Irons has already survived alien invasions, impossible battles, genocidal empires, and enough near-death experiences to qualify as a medical mystery. Unfortunately, the universe isn't finished trying to kill him. Leading a battered alliance of ...
