Afterwards, Basil Castellan was always certain that it had all begun the day he'd been rescued by the dragon. Oh, it hadn't been a real dragon, of course, or so he hastily assured everyone to whom he told the story. Only...it had been a real dragon....The Empire had preserved peace and order throughout human-inhabited space, but it had grown weak with the passing of the centuries, and now the self styled New Humans were rising in open rebellion, striving to seize control and impose their fanatical grand design on all humans everywhere. 

Reidon Ward will become a god. He doesn't know it yet, of course. Reidon was born weak, sickly, and small. Afflicted with a painful disease and abandoned by his parents because of it, he has had to fight tooth and nail for every minor advantage life has allowed him. However, his perseverance has not gone unnoticed, and when the most powerful artificial intelligence in human history takes an interest in him, things began to change quickly. 

Ever since an attempt on his life marooned him with his bodyguards on the hostile planet Marduk, with its unending series of threats, obstacles, and adventures, Prince Roger McClintock has evolved from a spoiled, petulant heir into a true leader of humans and aliens alike. This third installment...

The empire defeated the Swarm at the Battle of Iris, but it came at a great cost. To win, Hazard King needed to reveal he was Crown Prince Henry and take command of the Imperial Fleet as War Leader. Now their enemy is suing for peace, something many in the empire don't want to give. There are even officers in his own fleet that wish to restart the war and eradicate the Swarm. Hazard and his mother, Empress Elizabeth, face not only issues in the Isis System but across the empire.

The interstellar Kingdom of Adamant's civil war is over. Nikola Adamant is free to live his life once more. But duty never ends, returning him to duty in the Kingdom's army—and a new task, as his sister the King's voice beyond their home system!

The empire’s assault on the Sol System is imminent, but scouting reports reveal the Mordorians have nine of their hard-to-kill dreadnaughts protecting the system. It took everything the imperials had to defeat three of the powerful ships in the Pegasus System, but Marshal King, aka Crown Prince Henry, has finally gathered a sufficient force to make the attempt. Events back home have forced his hand, as what Hazard feared most has happened—they’ve lost control of the Black Dragon Virus. 

Prince Roger MacClintock was heir to the galaxy’s Throne of Man and a spoiled young brat—that is, until he and his Royal Marines were stranded on the barbarian planet Marduk. So far, they’ve traversed a continent, taken over an enemy spaceport, and hijacked a starship. But they’re not...

Hazard King finally managed to win peace with the Swarm, and he stabilized the Marxist Federation and helped create a more democratic new government on Lenin. The Black Dragon virus, though, continues to kill thousands there, and Imperial Scientists have finally admitted that antidotes are beyond their ability. Worse, it is only a matter of time before the virus makes it off planet, an event that is sure to kill billions and bring down the empire. But there is hope. If they can find the original virus, the creation of a vaccine may be possible. 

Alone and unafraid, the former Earth colony of Serenity is safe from the Mordorian Horde…for the moment. Hazard King’s expeditionary force, battered and bruised, stands guard, protecting the system. But to complete his original mission—to get to Earth and obtain the Black Dragon information he needs to save the kingdom—Hazard will need reinforcements. His mother, Empress Elizabeth, is willing to organize that help, but it will take time.

Hazard King, AKA Prince Henry, was a prince with a problem. Oh sure, he’d defeated the Mordorians in the Sol System and had landed his Marines on earth. His landing parties had even found samples of the original virus used to develop Black Dragon, which—hopefully—could be used to develop an antidote, so the main objective of his mission had been fulfilled.

Awakening from cryo sleep after barely surviving the Tarrant System Battle, Captain Hazard King begins working on restoring the wrecked Imperial Fleet. The Swarm forces smell blood and press their victory, sending a strike fleet to attack the Fleet base at Icarus. In the past, the Empire had ten years between attacks. This time, they'll only have two. Even worse, the Empire doesn't have the forces or the technology needed to stop the massive Swarm fleet, and Hazard is stymied at every turn by an entrenched bureaucracy that is unable to give Hazard the resources required to win the war.

An experiment in space gone horribly wrong; that’s usually how it all starts. The result? Hundreds of thousands of hostile aliens watch and wait for their chance to invade Earth and exterminate the human race. Payback. 

Hazard King was ready to get back to a normal life… Well, as normal a life as the next emperor of the Brittania Empire could expect, anyway. Hazard wanted to continue his naval career—to grow and take on positions of higher responsibility—because he knew the Swarm would be back, and he intended to be there to fight them when they returned. He had learned how to delegate, though, and while he was training, the rest of Team Hazard was tasked with eliminating the Marxist spy network, which they had discovered was mostly made up of rogue Imperial spies.

Hazard had promised his mother that he would return and accept the crown. He just needed one last trip to the front to re-organize the Sol Fleet, then he would return home to rule. When he arrived, though, he found himself in the middle of a battle.

Prince Roland - the Childe Roland, Heir to the Imperial Throne - grew up in a gilded cage, surrounded by men who wanted to use his powers while keeping him under tight control. He was growing into a petty sadistic brat until a Marine Pathfinder took him in hand, helping him to overcome his caretakers - jailers - and make something of himself. But it was too late for Earth and, as the planet collapsed into chaos, Roland and his mentor barely escaped before it was too late. He was taken into the care of the Marine Corps and given a chance to go to Boot Camp and forge a new life.

A deeply corrupt and embedded ruling class, disenfranchised settlers, and embittered indentured workers–slaves in all but name—have poisoned the planet. They've unleashed the fires of class war and threatening to turn the beautiful planet into hell in the wake of Earthfall. Sinister forces are stirring the pot. Roland—once Crown Prince of Earth, now a Marine Auxiliary—was charged with building an army to stabilise New Doncaster, but it was too late. The rebels struck and the planet fell into civil war. 

Der Angriff des Imperiums auf das Sol-System steht unmittelbar bevor, aber Aufklärungsberichte zeigen, dass die Mordorianer das System mit neun ihrer schwer zu tötenden Dreadnoughts schützen. Es hat die Imperialen alles gekostet, drei der mächtigen Schiffe im Pegasus-System zu besiegen, aber Marschall King, auch bekannt als Kronprinz Henry, hat endlich eine ausreichende Streitmacht für den Angriff versammelt.

Das Imperium besiegte den Schwarm in der Schlacht von Iris, aber der Preis dafür war hoch. Um zu gewinnen, musste Hazard King sich als Kronprinz Henry zu erkennen geben und als Kriegsführer das Kommando über die kaiserliche Flotte übernehmen. Jetzt bittet der Feind um Frieden, den viele im Imperium nicht wollen.

Nun, so normal, wie es der nächste Imperator des Imperiums von Brittania erwarten konnte, jedenfalls. Hazard wollte seine Marinekarriere fortsetzen - sich weiterentwickeln und verantwortungsvollere Positionen einnehmen - denn er wusste, dass der Schwarm zurückkehren würde, und er hatte die Absicht, sie zu bekämpfen, sobald sie zurückkehrten.

Kapitän Hazard King erwacht aus dem Kryoschlaf, nachdem er die Schlacht im Tarrant-System nur knapp überlebt hat, und beginnt mit der Wiederherstellung der zerstörten imperialen Flotte, doch die Schwarmkräfte wittern Blut und drängen auf den Sieg, indem sie eine Angriffsflotte zum Flottenstützpunkt Icarus schicken. In der Vergangenheit hatte das Imperium zehn Jahre Zeit zwischen den Angriffen. Dieses Mal werden es nur zwei sein.
