When Ben Murdock receives a text message offering a fully operational starship for sale, he’s certain it has to be a joke.

And Ben’s life is going to change in ways he never dreamed possible. All he has to do is sign the contract.

The invaders are gone. Earth is in ruins. The strong prey on the weak. In the wastelands of what’s left, a lone gunslinger delivers his own brand of justice. Some call him lawman. Some call him madman. Some call him vigilante. Some call him killer. Some call him legend. They all call him...the Sheriff. This is his story.

Hayden and Caleb face their greatest challenge yet: building an alliance across the multiverse itself. Different timelines. Different realities. Different versions of friends and enemies alike.

The Relyeh have ruled the multiverse for eons. It's time someone challenged their reign.

Still reeling from their defeat, Soren and his allies are beaten back but not defeated. With their sights set on a new target—one of ultimate importance to the enemy—the fight for the fate of the galaxy continues. The stakes are high. The cost, higher. And even if they emerge victorious, survival is anything but assured.

Soren, Alex, and the rest of their allies have given everything they have. They’ve challenged both the nature of the cosmos and the cruelest despot within it. They’ve given their blood, sweat, and tears, and somehow come out the other side.

Contains books 1-3 of The Forgotten. Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the Pilgrim, and he expects to die on the Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him. That's the way things are on a generation starship centuries from home. He's never questioned it. Access points to the ship's controls are sealed, the systems that guide her automated and out of reach. Until a malfunction forces his engineer wife to the edge of the habitable zone to inspect the damage. Until she contacts him, breathless, to tell him she found a body, and it doesn't belong to anyone on board.

In the year 2280, an alien fleet stole our Earth. For 50 years they hunted us. For 50 years they enslaved us. For 50 years we lived in fear. Nothing lasts forever. They can try to quell us. They can try to break us. They can chase us to the ends of the Earth. They can chase us to the ends of the universe. We've won our first battle. We've earned our first taste of hope. What was theirs will soon be ours. We are the rebellion. Our story continues.

Left stranded, his starship’s life support failing, Caleb initiates a distress signal, hoping that help will arrive before his time is up.

Ben never thought owning a starship would be easy. He didn’t expect it to be quite like this.

Another to have one of the most powerful nobles in the galaxy gunning for him at every turn. But when Keep turns up unexpectedly with a new offer that’s even wilder than the last, will it put him on the path toward his true destiny? Or is it just another con?

But getting close to him wont be easy, and even if they do.

Trapped on the other side of the galaxy, Ben, Noah, and their companions are dragged into the midst of war by the mysterious Warden. Relentlessly hunted, they must choose the best of bad options and learn the ultimate lesson to prevail.

Except there is no trick. The starship is real. And Noah’s life will never be the same.
