After getting shot down over Tau Ceti, Uplink Squadron commanding officer Lance Baker has come to the realization that Earth is fighting for the wrong side in the ongoing galactic war. The only problem—their allies, the Overlords, control the Solar System, and to do anything other than what they bid is suicide for humanity.

Now that August Walton is dead and new information has come to light, Cole Riker and his team of misfits are finally back on the cosmic highway to another unknown location. This time they might actually have a shot at completing the mission and getting back home in one piece. Victory isn’t all it seems, however.

Cole Riker is a free man. Or close enough. He no longer has the weight of his past hanging over him, threatening to put him away for the rest of his days. All it took was finding an unknown alien lifeform and agreeing to escort it back to its homeworld. Except his newfound luck doesn’t want to last. Gray doesn’t remember how to get home, and all the evidence says his people abandoned him after an unknown threat came calling. And that’s only the beginning.

Together with the unit's medic, Eva finds herself branded a terrorist and enemy of the state, hunted by two opposing governments. When the pair uncover a plot that could have ramifications for the whole galaxy, they know they have to act, but it will take all of their training, cunning and just a bit of luck to do what no one else has achieved. But what do you do when every secret begets another?

The allies could sneak a fleet behind enemy lines and destroy the infrastructure the Overlords were using to push them to the brink of existence. As long as the allied fleet didn’t get trapped and obliterated, everything would be great. But they got trapped and obliterated.

No pressure. But war is never easy, and the stakes have never been higher. Dean will need all of his allies and more if he hopes to make it out alive.

An alien awakens from a long sleep. An impossible prophecy that cannot be ignored. Dean and his friends are trapped on a world they can barely comprehend with enemies on all sides and a growing need to survive. There's more to this place than any of them could have dreamed. But what is the strange infection spreading across the forest, and where did it come from? Who or what is the Great Dawn? The world is full of secrets, and Dean Slade is at the center of it all.

Only one world in the cluster remains in enemy hands. Admiral Jack Romanoff and his crew have one remaining nut to crack before they can turn their attention to the people that overthrew the Confederation. The Vesuvius system has become a fortress, so it won’t be an easy fight, but it is one they cannot lose and survive. When force alone won’t do the trick, add guile.

The evidence implicates officials at the highest levels of the North Atlantic States government, potentially igniting an interplanetary war between every world and colony in the Sol system.

Tycho Barrett is grievously wounded during a mission to seize this technology from aboard a ship docked in a remote settlement on Europa, his life saved with cutting-edge cybernetic augmentation. Tycho and Section 9 must now race against both time and a revenant from the past to recapture the ship and its cargo before the trail vanishes and The Eleven once again return to the shadows.

Framed for the murder of an influential leader, Section 9 is left scattered and exposed deep within hostile territory. Tycho and Section 9 must now cross the eastern half of the divided city to reach the safety of the west. Along the way, enemies of all kind will hunt them, including corporate enforcers, syndicate bounty hunters, and a specialized unit of monstrous technological chimera.

A joint task force of humans and synthetic intelligences (SIs) has defeated the Overlord’s Fleet Twenty-Seven, and peace reigns throughout the region surrounding Earth...for now. But the Overlords are sure to return once they find out their fleet was destroyed, and they’ll be back with a strong enough force to ensure the Terrans don’t win a second time.

After escaping from the colony ship in a faraway system, Cole has uncovered sinister evidence of August Walton's oppression: a castoff civilization living in the past and forced to comply with the Eternal leader's unjust edicts. It doesn't take long for Cole to realize that the planet has its own secrets. Navigating lies and half-truths leads to a brewing rebellion led by the one person who might hold all the answers he seeks. But, as any good Renegade knows, nothing's ever easy.
