A NEW NOVEL FEATURING STEPHANIE HARRINGTON IN HONORVERSE PREQUEL SERIES 

Sex! Drugs! Rock ‘n’ Roll! And Treecats!

Freshly home from an internship on Manticore, teenaged Stephanie Harrington is up to her eyebrows in trouble.

There’s the new treecat adoptee who needs to be kept from becoming a risk to the carefully guarded secret of just how smart the arboreal inhabitants of Sphinx really are.

There’s the overeager journalist whose campaign to protect the treecats from exploitation as the newest, coolest pet on any planet could threaten the very creatures he seeks to defend.

And there’s the mysterious rash of weird accidents that are plaguing Sphinx’s younger inhabitants—including some of those nearest and dearest to Stephanie.

In trying to get enough proof to get the understaffed authorities of her pioneer planet to act, Stephanie will be called upon to attempt things she never imaged doing—including going undercover into the wilds of the late-night club scene, a realm where her faithful treecat guardian, Lionheart, cannot follow….

RELEASES JUNE 7, 2022

THE COMPLETE TARGET TERROR SERIES BY A MASTER OF MILITARY THRILLERS: INCLUDES SCOPE OF JUSTICE, TARGETS OF OPPORTUNITY, AND CONFIRMED KILL

Within a military that prides teamwork, strength in numbers, and camaraderie, the sniper is the outlier. The loner. The specialist whose talent can mean the difference between mission success and disaster. And often between life and death.

The Scope of Justice

Recovering from a mission gone disastrously wrong, sniper Kyle Monroe is paired with new partner Wade Curtis and dispatched to Pakistan, where he’s been instructed to take out a  prominent member of al Qaeda. But the local tribe to which he’s assigned wants to use his deadly skills to settle a private war.

Targets of Opportunity

In a densely packed urban environment in Romania and in hidden tunnels beneath a legendary castle, Monroe and Curtis stalk a terror cell that is smuggling explosives across the Black Sea into Europe. Romania may have a legacy of horror, but Vlad the Impaler has nothing on these terrorist murderers.

Confirmed Kill

When intelligence catches wind of a terrorist plot unfolding in the jungles of Indonesia, snipers Monroe and Curtis are assigned to take out the killers. But their mission goes all to hell, and now the two crack snipers are targets caught out in the open.

NEAR-FUTURE MILITARY ADVENTURE AND POLITICAL INTRIGUE SET AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF OUR MAJESTIC SOLAR SYSTEM

Marshall Hunter only wanted to fly—the faster, the higher, the better. But Space Force has other plans for him: interplanetary search and rescue.

When a billionaire couple goes missing on their way to survey a near-Earth asteroid, the nuclear-powered Borman is dispatched on an audacious, high-speed interplanetary run to find the couple’s wayward spacecraft and bring them home. Yet as they approach the asteroid, the Borman itself becomes hopelessly disabled, while back in near-Earth orbit, cislunar space falls into chaos as critical satellites fail and valuable lunar mineral shipments disappear in transit.

NEW ENTRY IN THE WITCHES OF KARRES SERIES BY NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR ERIC FLINT & DAVE FREER

Captain Pausert just can’t catch a break!

First, he became the mortal enemy of his fiancée, his home planet, the Empire—and even the Worm World, the darkest threat to mankind in all of space. All because he helped rescue three slave children from their masters. Of course, these three young women were the universally feared witches of Karres—but how was he to know that?!

And after he defeated the Worm World (with the help of the witches, of course), the Empress herself had sent him on a secret mission to stop a nanite plague that was raging across the galaxy. But an enemy had somehow convinced the Imperial Fleet that he was actually a wanted criminal, so after a battle leaving his ship in urgent need of repairs, Pausert and the witches of Karres joined an interstellar traveling circus in order to save the galaxy.

Now Pausert and the witches of Karres roam the spaceways again, this time dealing with a slaver-culture that somehow makes slaves happy to be in servitude, and a quest for a long-lost alien pet, during which the youngest witch, the Leewit, begins to come to her full powers as a healer—and of course generates chaos in her wake.

For Pausert, it’s all in a day’s work. But would it be too much to ask for a vacation?
