Book 1 ● Caspian’s Fortune ● 7:56

He needs a payday. He’ll settle for payback. Betrayed and left to rot on the edges of the galaxy, Caspian Robeaux is deep in debt and stuck flying courier missions in an old rust bucket he can barely keep afloat. His only friends are an annoying robot named Box and a bottle of booze. It’s a far cry from his once-promising military career, but Cas stopped caring a long time ago. Things start to look up, though, when a stranger arrives and offers a lucrative job that Cas can’t refuse, with a payday big enough to change his fortunes permanently. His luck gets even better when Cas learns that the job might offer him the one thing he wants more than his next drink: a chance to clear his name. But nothing in his life is ever that simple, and for a man trying to buy his way out of debt, the price of redemption might be too steep.

Book 2 ● Tempest Rising ● 7:51

It was just supposed to be one job. But once the Coalition has you, they never let go… Caspian Robeaux thought his troubles were over when he disrupted the Coalition’s plans and the person who had betrayed him found himself behind bars. But life is rarely so simple. Now the Coalition has a new mission for him, one that takes him right back into the heart of the enemy who helped cost him his freedom. The question is, can he step up to the challenge, or will his past continue to determine his future?

Book 3 ● Darkest Reach ● 7:36

He tried to bury it. But some things refuse to stay hidden. Having survived his encounter with the mysterious Sil race, Caspian and the crew of the USCS Tempest receive a new assignment: investigate the threat emerging far beyond the Coalition’s borders. With its advanced engines, Tempest is the only ship fast enough to reach whatever is out there before they cross into Coalition territory. But just because Cas is part of the mission now doesn’t mean the crew has to like it. Being back on board a starship hasn’t been easy, and now that he’s been tasked with keeping their new ally from killing the crew, it isn’t getting any easier. It seems his only option is to bury what the Coalition did to him and return to the model officer he used to be. Tensions and tempers rise when the ship gets stuck at the edge of a seldom-traveled nebula, costing them precious time and energy. But is there something more to this dark edge of space? As the mystery unfolds, Caspian realizes not only is this unlike anything he’s ever seen before, but he may not be able to bury his past as deep as he hoped.

Book 4 ● Journey’s Edge ● 7:37

Distraught over the loss of his crewmates, Caspian Robeaux no longer believes he can pretend to be part of the crew of the USCS Tempest. He has to face the fact he’s become an outsider and that’s who he’ll always be. He has no place on a Coalition starship anymore. But the mission must continue and until it’s complete, he’s stuck on board. Will he find a way to cope, or will the ghosts of his mistakes drive him mad first? Meanwhile Commander Evelyn Diazal is dealing with her own issues. After a visit with her infirmed father goes horribly wrong, she begins to see and hear things that aren’t really there. Afraid her father somehow passed his madness on to her; Evie does everything she can to cover up her problems until it puts another crew member in mortal danger. Amidst all of this, the Tempest has traveled far beyond the borders of Coalition space, searching for the mysterious Andromeda threat. However what they find is far more dangerous and destructive than they ever could have imagined. Will Cas and Evie manage to pull the crew together to survive, or will their ailments cripple them before the Tempest can escape?

Book 5 ● Secrets Past ● 8:07

Beyond the Edge things get weird. Having barely survived their encounter with the mysterious race known only as Andromeda, the crew of the USCS Tempest now must find a way to repair the ship if they ever want to get back to the Coalition to warn them of what’s coming. Their comms are down, their engines are shot and unless the god Kor himself makes an appearance, they’ll have to rely on local help if they want a way out of this mess. But finding friendly species in an uncharted region of space is easier said than done. They’ve already captured one pirate attempting to take advantage of their ship and have spent the last few weeks fending off even more. If this doesn’t let up soon, there won’t be anything left of the Tempest to save. However, their new prisoner offers a solution. He knows where to find exactly what they need, if they’re willing to let him out. If that weren’t enough, he knows where they can find out more about Andromeda before returning to the Coalition. The catch is they have to put their trust in a bunch of strangers they know nothing about.

Book 6 ● Planetfall ● 8:03

Stranded. The crew of the USCS Tempest has faced many hardships, but none so dire as crashing on a planet with no way to contact their ship. Now with no power, no resources and no idea how to get back, they’ll have to find a way to survive on this strange, untamed world. But not all is as it seems. This planet hides some dark secrets, such as why does the sun never seem to set? Or why, despite a lush environment, are there no other species here? Caspian, Evie and the rest of the crew have their work cut out for them if they want to discover the truth behind these mysteries. This planet was supposed to be a haven while they repaired the Tempest, but it’s quickly becoming a death trap. And the only way off may be for Cas and Evie to face what they fear the most: failure.

Book 7 ● Broken Links ● 8:37

Time is precious. Upon returning from the alien planet, the remaining crew of the USCS Tempest never could have anticipated this: their ship is in impeccable condition, almost like it never left space-dock. All signs of their former trials are gone. Due to a unique distortion in the planet’s atmosphere, Cas, Evie and the rest of the crew who visited the planet missed the last eighteen years of history. But just because those who stayed aboard had time to repair the ship doesn’t mean all is good. Commander Sesster has fallen into a coma, and without him, they still can’t leave. Not to mention the fallout from Evie’s actions on the planet’s surface. Cas and Box are the only ones who witnessed the carnage, or so they think. But their main concern is what might have happened to the Coalition in the past two decades. There’s been no comm traffic coming from Coalition space in all that time, leading Cas to fear the worst. To find out, they’ll need to find a way to travel without Sesster, at least until they can figure out what’s wrong with him. But the truth of what happened in those eighteen years may be more than any of them are ready to handle.

Book 8 ● Memory’s Blade ● 8:27

Everything comes at a cost. The Coalition has been decimated. While humanity teeters on the edge of survival, the crew of the USCS Tempest may be their only hope. But things may have just gone from bad to worse. Upon arriving back at the planet she grew up on, Evie discovers a secret that throws everything she’s known about herself into question. A lone Athru greets her there, revealing a special connection to Evie and offers to help defeat her own people. But to Cas, this sounds like just another Athru trick to try and eliminate the last of humanity. Meanwhile Cas grapples with command again after so long, and finds himself questioning even his deepest beliefs. When it turns out the ship may have to return to Sil space, Zenfor realizes she might have to face up to the consequences of helping the humans so long ago. She already knows she’s been branded a traitor, but will her betrayal get in the way of the mission? But none of them can truly grasp what they’re in for. The only question that remains is: can they remain united, or will this new thorn in their sides tear them apart?

Book 9 ● Infinity’s End ● 9:03

Let the End… try the Man. Battle lines have been drawn, and forces have been gathered. But are Cas, Evie and the rest of the crew of the USCS Tempest ready to engage the deadliest enemy they’ve ever had to face? The Athru came into Coalition space, wiped out humanity and disassembled the once-great galactic empire piece by piece. But why? What lies behind this obsessive need to destroy humanity? While Evie fights to find out, Cas is done playing games. Now that he has the power of the Sil behind him, he’s ready to take the fight to the enemy. But Commander Sesster is getting worse by the day, and if they don’t do something soon, he won’t survive. And as Evie takes it upon herself to obtain what could be a crucial piece of intel about the Athru, she discovers secrets she never could have imagined. The crew has faced many obstacles together, but this will be their greatest challenge yet. Cas made a promise to protect all those under his command, and that’s exactly what he’s going to do, even if it ends up killing him.
