The Predator Space Chronicles Omnibus, bringing together all seven novels into one massive ebook, is now for sale on Kobo, Barnes & Nobles, and iBookStore.

My science fiction series The Predator Space Chronicles is now complete. I sought to write optimistic science fiction that was biocentric without being dreary and defeatist. I defy dystopia.

I was sad to finish the seventh and last book, and say goodbye to Tarkos and Bria, but a new series (Predator Academy) is forthcoming.

The first of The Predator Space Chronicles is free:

You can find the books at digital bookstores around the world. Here are a few of them:

Given that it’s Earth Day, I’m going to spend the afternoon working on the next installment of my environmentalist space opera series, the Predator Space Chronicles.

The Predator Corp are pledged to defend and spread life throughout the Galaxy.  Not all sentient beings agree with that mission.  War is coming.

Volume 6 is called Question Zero.  Out before the summer!  Sign up for my email list if you want to receive the publication announcement.

 

Both volumes of Omega Threshold are now available!

Tain held a pistol toward me. The black gel of the handle pulsed, waiting to be gripped.

“Better take this,” she said.

I shook my head. “I never use them.”

We sat in an unmarked police cruiser, the steering wheel packed away in the dashboard. Tain’s face was a pale shimmer in the cool blue light of the car’s entertainment system.

“Your file says you are weapons trained.”

“Yeah,” I said, “I got one of those cannons at home, locked in my kitchen drawer.”
