Book excerpt: He wanders the stars in search of a home. Instead, he got a girl without one. When Jeremiah arrived at Megiddo Station, all he wanted was to make some trades and resupply his starship. He never thought he'd come away with a wife. Before he knows it, he's back on his ship, alone with his accidental bride. Since neither of them speak the same language, he has no way to tell her that there's been a terrible mistake. And because of the deadly famine ravaging her home, there's no going back. She's entirely at his mercy, and that terrifies him more than anything. Jeremiah isn't ready to take responsibility for anyone. He's a star wanderer, roaming the Outworld frontier in search of his fortune. Someday he'll settle down, but for now, he just wants to drop the girl off at the next port and move on. As he soon finds out though, she has other plans.

Book excerpt: This omnibus edition contains parts five through eight of the STAR WANDERERS series. Thousands of years after mankind's exodus from Earth, a small band of colonists seeks a better life in the Far Outworlds. These are their stories. PART V: DREAMWEAVER Noemi fully expects to die before her twentieth birthday. With a famine ravaging her home system and the neighboring stars refusing to offer assistance, her only escape lies in the worlds of the dream simulator. She may be the station master's oldest and plainest daughter, but in the simulator, she's a goddess of creation. All of that changes when a young starship pilot whisks her away to the stars. Far from the monster she fears him to be at first, he seems like a kind and gentle young man. But he carries a heavy burden, one that he can't divulge since neither of them speaks the same language. When he took her from home, he saved her from death. But only she can save him from himself-by commanding the power of his dreams. PART VI: BENEFACTOR An outworlder is nothing if not fiercely independent, and Jakob is no exception. But ever since he brought his family of starbound refugees to Alpha Oriana, he's felt increasingly powerless. With the recent Imperial takeover and rumors of job cuts at the dockyards, it's only a matter of time before they're forced to move on-again. When a young man and woman with an unusual story show up from his wife's homeworld, he takes them in, if for no other reason than that they remind him of a time when he was young and still in love. Ever since he sent his sons away, his marriage has been a nightmare-but all he wanted was to give them a chance at a better life out among the stars. Whether or not that was a mistake, his wife has never forgiven him for it. In the face of so many challenges, it's not clear how long the family can hold together, but Jakob will sacrifice everything before he asks for help-even if the only way out lies through an open airlock. PART VII: REPROACH The Far Outworlds: an endless frontier of uncharted worlds and alien stars. A vast, unsettled stretch of space where generations can pass without outside contact and colonists can live out their lives without seeing anyone from the outside universe. That prospect terrifies Mariya more than anything else. She's one of the only Deltans on a colony ship where no one understands her religion or culture. She was supposed to marry a good Deltan boy and raise a family with the help of her many relatives, but now she's headed for an unsettled world on the Outworld frontier. Twice a starbound refugee, every last shred of security has been stripped from her life, leaving her future prospects uncertain. There is one man who can change all that, but he's married to her best friend. Mariya doesn't need to steal him, though-she's perfectly willing to share. Whether or not her friend is willing is something else entirely, but in the end, she may not have a choice. PART VIII: DELIVERANCE Lucca Tajjashvili isn't a typical star wanderer. The youngest son of a wealthy planetborn family, he took out his inheritance early in order to build his own starship and seek his fortune on the Outworld frontier. The starfaring life suits him well, and he has no plans to settle down. All of that changes when he picks up a distress signal in the Far Outworlds. A small colony has been taken over by pirates, and Lucca is the only one in a position to help. Among the prisoners is a beautiful young woman whom Lucca decides to rescue. But when the pirates see through his skillful ruse, any escape plan he might have had soon falls completely apart. Mariya isn't the kind of girl who likes to take chances. But when she finds herself stranded on an alien world with her would-be rescuer, that's exactly what she has to do. Lucky for her, Lucca is just the sort of guy who can teach her.

Mysterious dreams play on her ancestral links to the Parthian Empire and an elite priestly class known as the magi.

Quite by accident she meets Sebastian, an intelligent and irresistible Jew who, like Faye, has a serious side. Together they explore the scientific underpinnings of Intelligent Design, ancient astrology, apocalyptic theories, and the Big Bang. A romance develops. But a fatal disease leads Faye to abandon Sebastian and discover the full story of her Parthian forebears. Heavenly personages explain her mystic connection to a child who traveled with the Wise Men. Through them, she discovers the startling synchrony between movements of the cosmos and the Truth revealed in Bethlehem.

This omnibus edition contains the complete Sons of the Starfarers series, including: BROTHERS IN EXILE Isaac and Aaron are nothing if not survivors. Their homeworld lost and their people scattered, all they have left is each other. Then, in the Far Outworlds, they find a dead colony with a beautiful young woman frozen in cryostasis. She is also a survivor—and she needs their help. COMRADES IN HOPE Isaac and Aaron have joined the war effort, and not a moment too soon. The Imperials are poised to strike at the heart of the New Pleiades and obliterate the ragtag flotilla standing in their way. Aaron always wanted to prove himself, but he was never ready to make the ultimate sacrifice—until now. STRANGERS IN FLIGHT When Reva Starchild went into cryosleep, she wasn't prepared to be the sole survivor of a people that history never remembered. Isaac wants to help her, but he carries a secret that may decide the outcome of the war. Little does he know, the Imperials aren't the only ones hunting him. FRIENDS IN COMMAND The future of the Outworlds now lies in uncertain hands. The Imperials are back, and this time, a ragtag flotilla isn't going to stop them. But they aren't the only enemies of the new Outworld Confederacy. Together, Aaron and Mara must face a threat from within. CAPTIVES IN OBSCURITY Isaac and Reva are running out of time. Gulchina's cruelty knows no bounds, and on the edge of known space, no one can stop her. But an unexplored planet holds an ancient alien secret that may prove to be a game changer. PATRIOTS IN RETREAT Gulchina's betrayal has all but sealed the fate of the Outworld Confederacy. As world after world falls before the Gaian Imperial onslaught and the crew of the Merope-7 take losses of their own, a young Imperial agent must decide what she's truly fighting for. A QUEEN IN HIDING Reva may be the queen of an alien-human hive mind, but that doesn't mean the others trust her. With Gulchina personally hunting them and Star's End consumed by worldfire, they all must face the terrible truth: unite or be destroyed. AN EMPIRE IN DISARRAY The Outworlds have shattered, but the Empire is shattering faster. With Isaac's help and Reva's telepathic powers, only Mara can stop the would-be usurpers and stop the war from ending in disaster for them all. VICTORS IN LIBERTY As Gulchina's forces bombard Edenia II from orbit, Mara Soladze and the Deltana brothers rush to the planet's aid. Trapped on the surface, Reva finds an unlikely ally—one who proves to be a game changer for them all.
