Mother of Monsters
The Sollan Empire captured a Cielcin worldship right at the start of the war. That ship, codenamed Echidna, held many secrets, and for Valen—only a humble engineer in the Imperial Legions—those secrets may yet prove fatal.
The Archaenaut
Set in the early days of the Sollan Empire, this is the story of Captain Cassia Misra of the ISV Defiant, on patrol in the colonial Aglovale system. When a strange ship enters the system, she and her crew find themselves up against an enemy very, very far from home.
The Dragonslayers
Quentin Sharp is a centurion in the Imperial Legions, a soldier, and a simple man. His mission is equally simple: rescue the young Countess Irina Volsenna from the Cielcin and the ruins of her burnng world. Deep behind enemy lines, without backup, Sharp and his men must defeat one of the iron giants of the enemy: a colossal war machine deadly as any battleship.
The Night Captain
Commander Halford is the so-called night captain aboard the ISV Tamerlane, the officer in charge of the ship while her primary crew sleeps in cryogenic fugue. But when his ship is attacked at a routine refueling stop off the planet Nagapur, the green officer must rise to the occasion and save his crew. Fortunately for him, he’s not the only person still awake aboard the sleeping vessel. Fortunately for him, he has help in the form of a certain palatine lord, one Hadrian Marlowe himself.
Victim of Changes
To mingle the sacred flesh with machines is an abomination. This every citizen of the Empire knows. It is the mission of the Holy Terran Chantry to safeguard mankind from such perversions, and to visit justice and mercy both upon those who transgress its holy law. For so great a sin, there can be no trial. This is only a sentencing hearing.
The Parliament of Owls
Thousands of years before Hadrian Marlowe, humanity began settling the Norman Expanse, a vast, dense area of space near the heart of the galaxy, at the base of the Arm of Norma. A veteran of the Imperial Legions turned bounty hunter for the Wong-Hopper Consortium, Kalas has been tasked to retrieve some stolen terraforming equipment and retire the thieves that stole it. But Kalas’s mission will bring him face-to-face with the posthuman monsters that dwell between the stars.
Not Made for Us
Carax of Aramis is a humble soldier in the Sollan Imperial Legions, hundreds of years and thousands of light-years removed from his home. Awakened from cryogenic fugue without warning or brief, he is thrust into battle against the Cielcin, an alien menace he did not even know existed. Unprepared for this strange new universe, with only his squad mates by his side, Carax must might for survival in the face of this new and terrible enemy.
