While hope is fading, all is not lost. Grayson and Rozik escape the massacre with information that could change the outcome of the war. They're beaten but not broken and ready to rejoin the fight.

Except their only chance at victory may rest in a derelict ship floating beyond the edge of space.
Earth is in the enemy's crosshairs and time is running out. It'll take every last bit of strength, courage, and resolve Grayson and Rozik possess to stop the invasion before it's game over.

New Release: Star Fire. Stars End, Book One.
This is the first non-Forgotten Universe series I’ve written in two years. I’m really excited about it, because it’s both similar and very different from any of my other work. I think more than anything, it mashes up a lot of elements of my prior books into a new form. I hope you like it!
The ship comes from nowhere. Unidentified. Inhuman. Unstoppable.
An enemy fleet ambushes an Alliance space station near the edge of the galaxy. Caught off-guard by the attack, Commander Grayson Stone organizes a desperate attempt to save the station only to be confronted by a terrifying new threat.
It appears in a storm of fire, its shields impenetrable, its weapons overwhelming, destroying everything in its path.
Already fighting for the fate of the station, Grayson’s suddenly embroiled in a war for the fate of us all.
It's a fight he needs to win.
And a war none of us can afford to lose.

New Release. Isolation. Forgotten Vengeance, Book Two
The enemy is coming.
The enemy is already here.
For years they’ve prepared.
Plotted. Planned.
For years they’ve waited to strike.
From above…
… and below.
Earth is under siege.
The enemy covers the landscape.
Proxima is unharmed.
But that’s about to change.
No armies can stop this menace.
No defenses can slow the advance.
We are scattered and isolated.
We are ignorant and weak.
No help is coming.
No help remains..
...or does it?
Old heroes will sacrifice everything.
New heroes will rise.
Join them.

Invasion - duplicate chapters corrected.
I screwed up.
I use a software tool called Vellum to build my manuscripts into finished books (both e-book and print). It’s an awesome tool, and it does a great job.
But it isn’t immune from human error, and neither am I.
When I published Invasion, I accidentally ended up with a duplicate of one of the chapters, instead of two individual chapters. So, a chapter is missing. It’s short and not critical to the story, but it is a little jarring to go from one scene to the next - and it should have been in there.
If you bought the book between 6/25 and 6/27 you probably have the book with the error. It was corrected as soon as I was alerted to the problem, and any downloads from mid-day 6/27 on won’t have it.
You can try deleting the book and re-downloading from your kindle app. This has worked for some and not for others. If you want to read the missing chapter, you can get it here:

I’m very, very sorry for the inconvenience. I feel terrible about it because I work really hard to put together a great read every time, and I know the error takes away from that.
Cheers,
Michael.

A violent war followed. The enemy won.
Some of us escaped...
...most of us didn’t.
On Proxima they flourished - the invasion forgotten.
On Earth we floundered - the horror began.
Their world is advanced, peaceful, and secure.
Our world is broken, savage, and overrun.
A new invasion is coming.
A hunger that has swallowed half the universe.
They don’t care which planet we live on.
They want to end us all.
But where there is life, there is hope.
And where there is hope, there are heroes.
Sheriff. Marine. Pilot.
Engineer. Centurion. Clone.
This time, vengeance will be ours.
