In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist. 

Resourceful, ruthless, beautiful, apparently without fear, Scout Lieutenant Cassie Suthorn of Camacho's Caballeros is as consummately lethal as the giant BattleMechs she lives to hunt. Only one other person in the freewheeling mercenary regiment has a hint of the demons which drive her.

They say you can’t go home again… …especially if you’re the governing mind for an interstellar military starship. It's official: Sergeant Henry Morgan has now spent more time as a starship than he spent dead. His mission is more than a century old, but in some ways, he feels like it's just begun.

But now, his powers too depleted to escape, Nomad finds himself trapped on Canticle, a planet that will kill anyone who doesn’t keep moving. Fleeing the fires of a sunrise that melts the very stones, he is instantly caught up in the struggle between a heartless tyrant and the brave rebels who defy him.

With their vast cargo holds and a crew that could fill a city, the Greatships are the lifeblood of human-occupied space, transporting an unimaginable volume - and value - of goods from City, the greatest human orbital, all the way to Tradepoint at the other, to trade for xenoglas with an unknowable alien species. It has always been Marca Nbaro's dream to achieve the near-impossible: escape her upbringing and venture into space.

Ralph could be described as a rogue on a good day. A bad day involved a lot of cursing, calling him a pirate, or sometimes even having a shoot-out. It wasn't really his fault of course, or so he would have you believe. It was the fault of those who wanted to get in his way of making as much...

If you like your space adventures with a side of sarcasm and a cargo hold full of questionable life choices, Ray Guns and Late Fees delivers. Ride shotgun with a pair of blue-collar spacers as they sail through the stars, patching together jobs with duct tape and stubborn optimism. Out here, pirates aren’t legends, they’re coworkers you haven’t shot at yet. Every deal comes with fine print written in plasma fire, every port hides someone looking to cheat you, and every “simple haul” has a nasty habit of turning into a running gunfight before the coffee gets cold.

"Success breeds success," or so Admiral Tracy Jackson recalled the Earthers saying. His fleet took control of two Elite worlds, Da-fer and Jot-ma, the first of ten Elite worlds. However, Admiral Jackson recognized that his thought about success was merely a saying, and they weren’t always true. Volunteers from other races descended on the Elite worlds by the hundreds of thousands. Many were drawn to help the hamlet subs by the conclave’s generosity. They left difficult home world circumstances to earn conclave credits with personal services provided free.
