The T-Challa don’t want our planet. They want something far more valuable — us. A hundred million people are already dead. Earth’s armies are crumbling. And nothing in humanity’s arsenal can stop them.
Caleb Ocoda has already lost everything. His family. His...
Caleb Ocoda is gone — thrown into an unknown future, leaving behind a shattered fleet and a planet still at war. Andrew Jackson must now hold the line alone, commanding Earth’s forces against an empire that shows no mercy.
Carla Ocoda was never meant to be ordinary. Bonded since since she was a child with Ronin — an offspring of her father’s symbiont, a living virus that chose her as its host — she carries a power most of the galaxy fears and no one fully understands.
Captain Edward Lewis commanded Cygnus Nine, a Bentonian scout fleet serving within the Paladonian military. The assignment ahead of him would define his command, though none of his crews yet understood how completely.
The fleet consisted of three destroyers and a single cruiser. Most of the vessels were hundreds of years old and regarded by much of the Paladonian military as obsolete—useful for patrol duty, border sweeps, and little else. At present, the four ships were moving toward a distant...
If you read The Ocoda Chronicles years ago, I want you to know something: the books you read then are not quite the books available today.

That's one of the things I love about books. I can describe a scene, but once you read it, part of it belongs to you. You supply the faces, the sounds, the movement, and all...
