But Colonel Joe Bishop warns that they might not like what they find, and they can't do anything about it without endangering Earth.

The Alien Legion has a new mission, and this time, they are working for the enemy. Also against the enemy. Like every operation that Emily Perkins plans, it’s complicated. But plans require good intel, and when the plan falls apart, the Mavericks are in freefall....

Kaz Wolfe has everything he needs to prevent a Convergence that would allow gods and monsters from the Nether to invade our world. Everything, other than a single clue about what a Convergence is. Or how it works. Or how to stop it. To get answers, he might have to take a fun-filled family road trip to the last place he wants to go: the Netherworld.

Their leader has been taken by the enemy. Secrets are at risk of being exposed. The enemy offers such a bad deal, it has to be a joke. They must think Kaz is stupid, and he's not. But sometimes, a bad deal is the best you can hope for.

The Wizard's Council of Tarador was supposed to tell young Koren Bladewell that he is a wizard. They were supposed to tell everyone that he is not a jinx, that all the bad things that happen around him are because he can't control the power inside him, power he doesn't know about. The people of his village, even his parents, are afraid of him, afraid he is cursed. That he is a dangerous, evil jinx.

Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right? Not so much.

The human soldiers stranded on the planet Paradise have been recruited into an alien legion to do the dirty jobs that the high-tech species won't do. Their first mission is to kick the enemy off a backwater planet no one cares about. It's a simple assignment, except everyone has a hidden agenda, and the planet could become a deathtrap.

Koren Bladewell's future was stolen from him, by wizards who chose to lie, to conceal the fact that Koren is a wizard. Crown princess Ariana Trehayme must find a way to become queen before her 16th birthday - before her indecisive mother allows all of Tarador to be conquered.

While the crew of the UN Expeditionary Force's pirate starship Flying Dutchman are enjoying a luxury vacation cruise (not!), UNEF troops are still stranded on an alien-controlled planet.

The battle-scarred star carrier Flying Dutchman is finally on her way back to Earth, after an exceptionally successful series of missions that have once again saved the world. The ship needs a serious refit, and her exhausted crew just wants a break from constant clandestine warfare against a vicious and superior enemy. Wishes come true, right? Not for the Merry Band of Pirates.

The Merry Band of Pirates are in desperate trouble after the end of their last mission, and the real danger to humanity is just getting started. Hostile aliens have discovered there is something odd going on with wormholes in the galaxy, and their investigations could lead to finding a shortcut to Earth....

After the latest mission of the starship Flying Dutchman, Earth is safe not just for a year, but for hundreds of years. The ship’s weary crew wonders what they will do with their lives in peacetime, but the enemy has other plans, and there is danger on the Homefront. Starring Zachary Quinto, R.C. Bray, Kate Mulgrew, Robert Picardo, and everyone's favorite AI, Skippy the Magnificent, alongside a full cast. Includes plenty of pew-pew-pew, original sound composition, and maybe some singing by R.C. Bray.

Koren Bladewell now knows he is a wizard, but he is lost in the wilderness, cut off from help, and unable to use his powers. The enemy is poised at the border with an overwhelming invasion force, and it will take wizards, soldiers and a young, untested princess to hold off defeat long enough for Koren to be trained and grow into his power. But he might not wish to help those who deceived him and destroyed his life.

Children are not supposed to rescue their parents, life is supposed to be the other way around. And rescues aren't supposed to be needed on the trip out to the new colony planet Valhalla. Slow, yes. Boring, yes. Dangerous? No, the trip is not supposed to be dangerous, never has been. When thieves attack the transport ship to steal an ancient alien artifact, and young Kaylee and her brother, Manny, are cut off from their parents, they have to stop the thieves from getting what they want.

Ziemi wciąż zagraża gazowy obłok, sprowadzony przez Maxolhxów i blokujący promienie słoneczne. Chcąc zmusić nieprzyjaciół, by pomogli rozwiązać ten problem, albo przynajmniej nie wchodzili ludziom w drogę, generał Joe Bishop i Skippy zademonstrowali, że są w stanie kontrolować sieci tuneli czasoprzestrzennych i pozbawić szczytowe rasy dostępu do innych rejonów Drogi Mlecznej. Problem w tym, że rzekoma nowa superbroń ludzkości to zwykły blef. Czy nieprzyjaciel przejrzy oszustwo, czy też podejmie desperackie kroki, przekonany, że nie ma nic do stracenia?

Żołnierze słabnących Sił Ekspedycyjnych ONZ pozostawieni sami sobie na kontrolowanej przez obcych planecie Paradise dostają szansę, by dowieść swej wartości podczas prostej misji szkoleniowej w kosmosie, na pokładzie okrętu pełnego młodych ruharskich kadetów. Niestety podczas misji dochodzi do nieprzewidzianych, dramatycznych zdarzeń, a wszystkim mieszkańcom Paradise zaczyna grozić śmiertelne niebezpieczeństwo. Ostatnia nadzieja w Wesołej Bandzie Piratów. Jednak aby pospieszyć na ratunek, załoga „Latającego Holendra” musi najpierw sama uporać się z własnymi problemami...

Dowództwo SEONZ wysłało na prostą misję zwiadowczą elitarnych żołnierzy i pilotów, a ci wywołali wojnę domową między kosmitami. Teraz Niezbyt Wesoła Banda Piratów znów ma kłopoty. Ich wykradziony obcym okręt zaczyna się sypać tysiące lat świetlnych od domu, Skippy nie daje oznak życia, a nawet jeśli uda się go wskrzesić, starożytna SI może już nigdy nie być taka sama.

Elitarna załoga pirackiego okrętu znanego jako „Latający Holender” miała do wykonania prostą misję: ustalić, czy Thuranie zamierzają wysłać w kierunku Ziemi kolejny statek kosmiczny. Po drodze musiała jeszcze zająć się zabezpieczeniem przyszłości żołnierzy SEONZ na planecie Paradise. Gdy było po wszystkim, żołnierze w służbie Ziemi zapytali sprzymierzoną z nimi prastarą obcą sztuczną inteligencję, czy ich planeta jest już bezpieczna. W odpowiedzi usłyszeli: „No, nie do końca”. Teraz muszą stawić czoła nowemu wyzwaniu.

Walczyliśmy po złej stronie wojny, której nie mogliśmy wygrać. I to były te dobre wieści. Ruharowie uderzyli w Dzień Kolumba. Niewinnie dryfowaliśmy sobie na naszej błękitnej kropce, jak rdzenni mieszkańcy Ameryki w 1492 roku. Za horyzontem pojawiły się okręty technologicznie zaawansowanej, agresywnej kultury i BUM! Skończyły się stare, dobre czasy, kiedy tylko ludzie zabijali siebie nawzajem. Cóż, Dzień Kolumba. Pasuje.
