From a young age, he's been forced to raise himself and his beloved sister. Anthony's isolated parents also expect him to take over the family business once he was old enough. As an act of defiance, he joins the Unified Coalition Space Operations Army in a desperate attempt to secure an independent life for both himself and his sister, away from the stubborn control of his parents. While training to become an army trooper, Anthony uses his strong sense of independence to quickly adapt to the harsh demands of military life. With Insurrectionist forces threatening all the Coalition holds dear, Anthony is sent to the stars to fight against the same enemy responsible for bombing his home city. But after his first deployment reveals that the Insurrectionists are only a small part of a much larger plot, Anthony and his fellow soldiers are thrust into the largest interstellar war in history seemingly overnight. With the Coalition in chaos, Anthony must not only keep his promise to return to his sister but also fulfill his oath to defend the Coalition, her colonies, and her citizens.

An uptick in monitored subspace and regular frequency radio traffic discloses disturbing calls for help, as entire worlds in an area known as Gulf are being obliterated! As Cox, Executive Officer Genni Carr, and Prime Minister Jon Dewey confer, the cause of this destruction has been transported for hiding at the North Pole of their terrestrial moon Trinity by two male Terran ne’er-do-wells and two female Dakkarosi denizens. An ancient modified Expansion War-era Terran transport is spotted from orbit by a vessel on routine patrol, as it’s in the process of unloading a huge block of ancient silver metal. The perpetrators are apprehended and interrogated on Danovia.

As the gravity of this situation is debated, they listen in stunned disbelief: The Terran males have secretly ferried scores of Dakkarosi to Trinity!

After 300 years of paying tribute to their benefactor, the Vrene, they can use the money. Humanity will make the Rheas a vassal race to humanity and pay tribute in exchange for protection from other advanced civilizations. Only the Chzek already have a claim on the Rheas, who they want to enslave to serve their empire. And, unknown to the humans, the Chzek are long-time enemies of the Vrene. With little choice, humanity and a Chzek vassal race are made proxies of their more advanced benefactors and fight Earth's first interstellar war. Questions arise as Commander Kree and others realize the Vrene were preparing Earth to fight this war with their enemy for hundreds of years. Did their "benefactor" set them up to fight a war they do not want and cannot afford? Or, did the Vrene do them a favor preparing them for a war they were already destined to fight as the Chzek expand their empire? Earth Interstellar is fast paced story of future interstellar conflict with credible representation of war in space.

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT Humanity has finally made it to the stars. Colony worlds thrive and there is general peace among the settled systems. Until now. Matte black ships of an advanced design appear in colonial systems. Their drives and weapons are not extremely advanced beyond their Terran counterparts — just superior enough to be utterly devastating. Colonies and their populations are obliterated.

Compatriots. Fierce competitors. Former lovers. Now they are on a quest that will plumb the scientific wells of existence itself, where the primordial knot of spacetime may be unraveling. Price and Ahuja are sworn to do whatever it takes to defend Earth and humanity from ultimate obliteration by an enemy that will not even speak its name.
