The thieves who stole your heart have painted themselves into a corner... For half a decade Sheni’s been exiled from New Terra for sneaking aboard an Ark ship without a ticket. Now he wants to come home, but reams of bureaucratic red tape mean it’ll take years for his citizenship application to be approved – or denied. So when a UEC shuttle carrying one of Earth’s rarest paintings goes missing, Sheni spots his chance to get back in humanity’s good books. If there’s anyone perfectly suited to hunting down stolen relics, it’s an ex-pirate.

Blood is thicker than water. Alan’s thicker than both. Hand on heart, swear to the gods – the crew of the Silver Hart are totally legit now. There’s way more money in running a reputable salvage company than in space-piracy, and it comes with only a fraction of the risk. It’s hard to miss crawling through dusty tombs when you’re up to your eyeballs in credits and rum punch.

No amount of shore leave can wash away this crew’s sins. Against all odds, the crew of the Silver Hart are filthy rich. So they do what any sensible bunch of ex-pirates would do–they splash out on a lavish all-inclusive resort away from the riff-raff they usually associate with. But after poachers attack their luxury yacht during a sightseeing tour, Sheni discovers an underwater community just off the coast. Unfortunately, the aquatic Plillup aren’t any more pleased to meet him than the hunters above the waves.

Paradise is a nightmare. Holly Bloom works as an analyst for Flynn Industries. When she intercepts a confidential email stating that the luxury space station housing the wealthiest members of humanity has gone dark, she immediately volunteers to accompany the rescue team sent to fix the comm issue… but Saturnalia is nothing like the reclusive paradise she'd come to expect.

The Earth is gone, and its survivors are in desperate need of a new home. Trapped on board Arks orbiting New Terra, the UEC fleet orders a full invasion. The planet is theirs if they want it… they just need to clear out the massive bug infestation first. Ginger and her squadmates in Fireteam Sigma are no strangers to alien worlds—this isn't the first planet they've tried to colonize. But they've never gone up against an enemy like this before: hungry seven-foot roaches capable of biting a marine in two. It's going to take everything Sigma's got—and more—to survive.

The Earth is a husk, humanity is long extinct, and Charon has used his stolen Solar Core to harvest Proxima Delta’s star, dooming its populated system. The crew of the Adeona are divided—Jack thinks they should keep fighting, but Rogan and Brackitt just want to lay Tuner to rest in Detri. By going their separate ways, Jack gets the chance to testify before the Ministry. But their bureaucracy is almost as exhausting as the hitman sent to kill him, and time is running out. Jack and Klik are left to unravel a new conspiracy alone. Can Jack stop Charon from creating his singularity?

Jack Bishop is desperate to get back to Earth. When a Krettelian slave sneaks aboard their ship and promises Jack a way home in exchange for her people’s freedom, he jumps at the offer…even if it means betraying one of the most powerful races in the galaxy. Following a secret meeting on the Mansa homeworld, Jack agrees to risk his life stealing a Solar Core for the Krettelian resistance. He sneaks on board a cargo ship chartered for a new colony, but the heist is sabotaged…and now a whole empire wants him dead. Can Jack use the Core to save humanity? Or did he just condemn it?

Jack Bishop needs a pair of tickets aboard one of the Arks - colossal lifeboats destined to shepherd humanity to the stars. Desperate to save his wife, he signs up for a dangerous wormhole experiment...but something goes catastrophically wrong, and Jack finds himself cast into the Stellar Abyss.

Jack Bishop is a long way from home. With no way back to the Earth he once knew, Jack considers himself alone in the galaxy… that is, until he receives a distress call from his old Ark ship, the Final Dawn.

Everything comes to an end. The Prymalis continue their assault on the various homeworlds of the Milky Way. Max’s device for exterminating the ancient species has proven to be a dead end. And now the enemy appears to have set its sights on the most populated planet of all – Kapamentis. Can the squabbling empires put aside their differences for long enough to stop the Prymalis? Or is the crew of the Adeona all that stands in their way? The fate of the galaxy – and the trillions of lives that inhabit it – rests in their hands.

Legend tells of a sword that makes a warrior’s enemies fall to their knees in surrender. Sheni isn’t sure if he believes the drunken ramblings of old space pirates, but what he does know is that a sword like that would fetch an eye-watering price. Unfortunately, the trail leads them from ancient temples to prison planets, and retrieving the sword from its final resting place might cost the crew more than they’re willing to pay. Especially since someone on board the Silver Hart is keeping a secret with deadly implications....

When the silver mines of M-1819 suffer a catastrophic breach, Roger Hawthorn is the Compliance Officer sent to lift the orbital station’s subsequent lockdown.

Thaddeus Cutter's life is on the mend. His detective business is growing, he's dating a sim-coder named Sakura, and he still has a roof over his head. If the dark, neon world of Kapamentis wasn't suffering its worst storm in decades, he'd say he had it pretty good. When a woman shows up at his door asking him to investigate her abusive husband and his shady business partner, Thaddeus assumes he's got an easy case on his hands. But when somebody close to the investigation is murdered, Thaddeus becomes the prime suspect, and he soon falls foul of both the law and the lawless.

So when a visit to Everett Reeves sheds light on a possible lead, Jack has no choice but to investigate it, despite objections from Rogan and Klik.Old adversaries are out for blood. Rogan’s past comes back to haunt her. And a new team of cash-strapped pirates might have what it takes to find the truth… if they can be trusted.

Meet Thaddeus Cutter. He's a two-bit private detective struggling to get by on Kapamentis – a high-tech alien metropolis whose citizens consider humans little more than vermin. There's no sun, it rains all the time, and business is so bad he can't even afford the rent.

Street gangs. Glamour models. Console jockeys. With tensions between mankind and the other species of the Ministerium at an all-time high, the human citizens of Kapamentis will take whatever cybernetic advantage they can get. But when a string of patients wind up dead from infected implants, the next step in human evolution might not be as safe as it seems.

The crew of the Adeona are stranded on the extroplanet XO-R15 while the ancient Prymalis threat closes in on the cosmic community. Total galactic annihilation awaits. But even after Jack finally sends word to the Ministry, everybody’s too busy fighting each other to listen. Planets fall. Mysteries are revealed. And the crew of the Adeona starts to crumble. Can Jack unite the warring factions of the galaxy for long enough to stop the Prymalis? Or are the odds stacked too high against them?
