The Icarus Needle

UNLOCK THE GATES TO THE STARS

Ten thousand years ago, a mysterious people known as the Icari vanished from the Spiral, leaving behind a network of portals that can instantaneously transport passengers hundreds or thousands of light-years across the stars. Gregory Roarke and his Kadolian partner Selene have been tasked with seeking out these alien artifacts and bringing them under the control of the Icarus Group. But the Group’s leadership has changed, and Roarke soon finds himself at serious odds with the new director’s plans.

“The Icarus Twin offers a fast-paced adventure that is every bit as exciting and entertaining as The Icarus Plot. If you are looking for a mix of action and mystery, read it.” —Ricochet

Ice Trials

THE FATE OF THE WORLD HANGS IN THE BALANCE

A mysterious portal transports Marty Cohen and his team to an isolated island nation where strangers are viewed as ominous figures sent by a higher power. The people of this nation hold a prophecy that involves a team of strangers as harbingers of either death or salvation. When a massive flood threatens the island, chaos ensues, and the team faces a series of unexpected challenges. As the reluctant leader of the group, Marty must make a difficult choice between saving the lives of an ancient nation and those of his team members. Ultimately, the fate of the world rests on his decision.

“This is a must-read!” —Larry Correia on Time Trials

1919: The Romanov Rising

IS RUSSIA DOOMED?

Tsarina Tatiana, the First of Her Name, is striking out for better position. A battle must be fought against a seemingly overwhelming force of Bolsheviks. Yekaterinburg, rich in precious metals must be taken to fund the war. The beautiful nun and imperial aunt, Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna, and her companions must be rescued from a vile fate. Also, the lines must be laid out for the various fractious anti-Bolshevik forces to unite under the Imperial Crown. Finally, the two possible successors, Maria Alexandovna and her sister, Anastasia, must be whisked to safety in the United States and the United Kingdom, where one of them will learn love not just of a man, but of his people, his country, and their way of life.
