Ryan Hendrix wurde während der Schlacht um Hermes schrecklich verwundet. Doch dann wurde er kybernetisch repariert, vom Geheimdienst der Raumflotte in eine Waffe verwandelt…und heimlich auf der vom Feind besetzten Kolonie Aphrodite abgesetzt, um Sabotage durchzuführen und eine Widerstandsbewegung aufzubauen.

Cam Alvarez führt sein Platoon von Drop Troopern ins Tahni-Imperium, in die letzten Tage des Krieges und die blutigsten Schlachten, die sie je erlebt haben. Die Tahni werden alles, was sie haben, einsetzen, um ihre Kernwelten zu verteidigen, und wenn das bedeutet, ihre eigenen Zivilisten als Schutzschilde zu benutzen, muss Lieutenant Cam Alvarez entscheiden, ob er Befehle befolgt und auf Zivilisten schießt oder seinem Gewissen folgt und seine Karriere riskiert …

Wir haben eine Schlacht gewonnen … aber wir verlieren den Krieg. Das Image von Travis Miller hat sich geändert. Er ist nicht mehr der Idiot, der den ersten Kontakt mit Aliens vermasselt hat, sondern einer der Helden der Schlacht um Eden. Nun erhält er einen neuen Auftrag: die besetzte Kolonie Brigantia zurückzuerobern. Deren Verlust wäre ein leichter Schlag für das Tahni-Imperium, aber auch der erste wirkliche Gegenangriff der Erde, eine Chance, in die Offensive zu gehen.

Go to war or go to jail. For small-time street hustler Cam Alvarez, the choice is simple.... He has no family, no friends, no place in the world...nothing to lose. When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hit man, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy. Drafted into the Marine Drop-Troopers, Cam discovers there’s one thing he’s even better at than running street-con games, and that’s killing the enemy.

So close to home... And yet farther away than ever. Cam, Vicky, and the others follow the jump gate line into the Reconstructor systems, hoping to find the Northwest Passage back to Earth…back home. Instead, they find death and destruction. And an ancient mystery.

Jack Bennet returns from the war to find the life he left behind has moved on without him. The only option he has to make ends meet lies in a military surplus junkyard starship. What’s a former Combat Search and Rescue soldier to do? Fix up the ship, hire the cheapest pilot—a notorious drunk—and take the first contract that comes up: collect a bounty on one of the most ruthless killers in the Pirate Worlds, a place crawling with thieves, cutthroats and con artists whose primary language is violence. Jack must abandon his nice guy persona, or exploit it, if he is to survive.

Cameron Alvarez and the crew of the Orion are hot on the trail of the Seekers, following the Predecessor faction on their quest to find the source of the Skrela infestation. But the crew is close to the breaking point, and their commander, Colonel Hachette, is long past it. The death of Sgt. Major Campbell has left him devastated and unable to lead.

Cameron Alvarez is a Marine Drop Trooper and Marines are no stranger to sacrifice. He was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the innocent, but what’s he’s been asked to give up now is far worse. Having subjected himself to the transformation virus, become linked to the power of another universe, Cam may have sacrificed his sanity—and his soul. The ghosts of that universe haunt him now, whispering in every unguarded moment, trying to turn him against the ones he loves.

It was every starship captain’s nightmare, and for Travis Miller, it was his own personal hell. He’d done everything by the book, but when the Tahni had attacked him and his crew, there was no choice but to return fire and destroy the first alien vessel humans had ever encountered. Excoriated in the press, his career in shambles, Travis is exiled to a long patrol of the outer colony worlds. Forgotten, except as a bad example...until the Tahni prove him right by declaring war on the human commonwealth.

Dr. Erik Manheim needed a warrior. A Navy SEAL. Someone who could help him confront the threat he uncovered in ancient ruins—evidence that a rogue planet brings devastation every time it passes Earth. Instead, he got Jack Schafer, a hungover bush pilot in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, Jack is swept into a mission he was never meant to survive—one that stretches from the Alaskan wilderness to the stars beyond. Humanity's future hangs in the balance… and its best hope may be a reluctant pilot who wasn't supposed to be here at all.

After years of wandering through the galactic wilderness, Cameron Alvarez is home. But home isn’t there anymore. While the Orion mission was gone, an alien virus brought the Commonwealth to its knees and killed billions. All that’s left is a provisional government on an isolated colony, and they need Cam’s help. The new Commonwealth is teetering on the edge of survival, and one push could send it over the brink. That push might be the movement known as the Confluence.

For small-time street hustler Cam Alvarez, the choice is simple. He has no family, no friends, no place in the world...nothing to lose. When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hitman, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy.

Hard times make for strong men, and Antonin Murdock’s childhood was as rough as it gets. Now, he’s a Ranger, the only law for colonists seeking their fortune far from home. Murdock’s investigation into a missing freighter takes him to Coracaesium, a world he discovers has been turned into a stronghold by brutal pirate forces. They are more organized than anything he’s seen before, equipped with advanced weaponry, and led by a tactical and strategic genius.

For Vicky Sandoval, home is wherever the she and Cam can make a life together, whether that’s back in the Commonwealth or right there in this strange new part of the galaxy. But the only way for any of them to find a home is to hunt down the mysterious Seekers, the faction of the ancient alien Predecessors who were tracking the source of the mindless Skrela war drones which had chased them off Earth tens of thousands of years ago. The Seekers have the gate and, just as importantly, they know where to find the demonic Skrela and put an end to them.

The war is over...or that's what everyone thinks. Cam knows better. The Skrela are wiped out, but only Cam and Vicky know the truth, that Dwight and the other AI like him created the monstrous enemy to destroy the Predecessors. Burdened with this terrible secret, Cam must somehow maintain the tenuous peace between the humans and the Tahni until he and his Marines can return home.

Cam Alvarez is lost in the depths of the galaxy…and the only way home is through a horde of alien monsters. Cam and the others in the task force have followed Zan Thint through the Predecessor Gateway to another spiral arm of the galaxy. There, they are stranded…unless they can find another of the gateways. Following the trail of the Predecessors, who’d fled our space millennia ago, they discover one lost civilization after another…but will they find the Predecessors?

Cam Alvarez will have to decide whether to follow orders and fire on civilians or follow his conscience and risk his caree...

Travis Miller, his image reformed from the moron who screwed up our first contact with aliens to one of the heroes of the Battle for Eden, is given a new assignment: Retake the occupied colony of Brigantia. Losing it would be a glancing blow to the Tahni Imperium, but it would be Earth’s first solid strike against them, a chance to go on the offensive. Ryan Hendrix and the Fleet Marines will be the tip of the spear, outfitted with their new Aegis-powered armor, while Jessica Leer and her Fleet Strike fighter squadron clear the way for the Marines and their landers.
