Audacity Now Available
Audacity, Book 5 of Warner's World, is now available for sale from Amazon.
Audacity is all about daring and risk. Commander Aubrey Bellard leads the charge into rogan space in the FFS Phantom stealth frigate. Her mission is to deliver the resistance leader, Evie Plentun, to the rogan home world of Checklin. There she hopes to kick start the local resistance to the Imperialists. They have some contacts but can they be trusted? The turncoat Commander Felis Draag accompanies Evie. But can he be trusted? Finding out will involve taking major risks. Aubrey finds out the hard way that knowing when to take a risk and when to decline it is the hallmark of a good commander.
Following up on some intel provided by Aubrey, Captain Dave Warner in the FFS Resolute stealth cruiser, investigates a major gravity anomaly in the Qwantum system. The discovery that the Imperialists have used a new weapon of mass destruction on their own people raises the stakes even further. But where there is great calamity there is also great opportunity. Dave opts to seize the initiative by trying to liberate the Qwantum system.
But the local Imperialist forces are not going to roll over, nor is the Imperialist First Consul, Emilius Quazor. Faced with growing unrest in the empire, political intrigues, plots and counter plots, he is determined to hold onto the reins of power no matter what it takes.
In a galaxy of chaos, he who dares wins. But daring is not without risk.

SITREP 21 April 2016
Hi everyone, I have just finished the first draft of Resilience, Book 6 of Warners World. I have really enjoyed writing this book. I had a few goes at the ending. I am happy with the one I have now. I was tempted to bring the series to an end a couple of months back but I found myself rushing the end, with too many characters underdone.
So there will be a Book 7. I'm calling it "Attainment" and I've written a chunk of it already. Here's my first hack at the cover. In Attainment the allied forces are gathering for the final drive to Istridium. But a new rogan first consul has other plans. It's the big showdown with the massed fleets and as you would expect Dave Warner and his Audacity Group will be in the vanguard.
