Includes the first book of the second Aeon 14 series: Destiny Lost. Right after she finishes her BLT, disgraced Major Tanis Richards is off to save the day one more time. Tanis is looking forward to a long journey in stasis before arriving at the newly terraformed world of New Eden. New Life. New Start. Getting a berth on the Intrepid is her ticket out of the Sol System. But nothing proves easy for Major Tanis Richards. Nothing is at it seems. What should be a simple trip is fraught with danger and filled with adventure. An array of forces seek to stop the Intrepid—no matter the cost, or lives lost. From competing corporations, to stellar eco-terrorists, no one wants the Intrepid to arrive at New Eden. Through their journey, the crew of the Intrepid will face rival stellar governments, civil war, and the most wanted serial killer known to the galaxy. Pivoting their role from colonists to saviors. Perhaps it’s because the Intrepid carries the most valuable secret known to humanity. Or maybe it’s just Tanis’s luck. Pick up The Intrepid Saga now and journey with Tanis on an intense, action-packed adventure through the stars.

It'll take two minds to solve this mystery... Commander Tanis Richards has finally come into port after a seven month tour on the edge of Jovian space, and she's looking forward to some much deserved shore leave. But Tanis's commanding officer has other things in mind for her. Enfield Technologies has developed a new technique to pair enhanced L2 humans with AIs, and the military wants Tanis to undergo the procedure. Though she feared the worst, after meeting Darla, Tanis realizes that having an AI--especially a fabulously wealthy one--is better than she'd ever imagined. Darla foots the bill for Tanis to enjoy her convalescance at The Grand Eire, Vesta's most luxurious resort. Swimming in the infinity pool with a stunning view of space is just what the doctor ordered, except it will be far from a restful vacation. Everything starts to go downhill when Tanis sees someone who should be nowhere near the resort--largely because Tanis had killed him a week ago. Tanis is thrust into a mysterious conspiracy that could bring down the Federation, but when she gets to the bottom of it, what she finds is...noneother than herself.

Before the age of the Orion War... It has been decades since the New Eden colonists left Victoria and disappeared without a trace. With no one left for her on Victoria, Katrina resolves to discover what happened to her missing friends. With a small starship, a crotchety AI, and more hope than plans, she leaves, following the route laid down by the great colony ship, the Intrepid. When Katrina wakes from stasis, she finds herself over four-thousand years in the future, in a galaxy that has fallen to ruin. Her only hope is that the Intrepid is still out there somewhere, still trying build a future. But her own future looks grim from the slave pits of Bollam’s World, where Katrina finds herself in short order. Sold off and shipped across the stars to a master trying to build an empire, she must use all her cunning and guile if she is to survive. Katrina knows that her goal of freedom comes with a price, a price that will require her to become… The Warlord

Everyone deserves a day off, right? That's just what Jessica and Cheeky are enjoying when a pair of old "friends" show up and force them to smuggle weapons into the Serenity System. On their own, with just a small interstellar pinnace at their disposal, Jessica and Cheeky aren't going to let someone else force them to smuggle weapons (especially when there's no profit in it for them) and they take control of their ship and escape. Unfortunately, they still end up in the Serenity system...with the weapons. Now they must unravel a tangled web of deception in a highly stratified aristocratic society to learn the intended recipient of the weapons. Attending a series of gala events, Jessica will have to use a particular set of skills she's acquired over the years (as a TBI Agent, seriously, people) to start a war between two aristocratic families. What could go wrong?

It’s going to take some quick thinking and smooth talking to get the ship repaired and figure out how they’re going to travel clear across human space without being caught and destroyed by their now myriad enemies.
