Usurper

A dead king. A new queen. An army collecting itself for war. A war that Queen Anistasia Nosov has been working toward her whole adult life. A war that will give her the ability to unlock the mysterious and consuming power which brought the previous age to its knees. The power to rule the world.

Yet, even with the army of Ayr at her back, problems persist. Her attempt to tie up loose ends has sent a critical piece of her plan into the hands to Quinn and Bernard, a pair of free-spirited bounty sheet men. The item, a mystery sending the two men on a global adventure.

While armies are clashing on one side of the central continent, well-paid assassins and mercenaries are closing in on Quinn and Bernard, attempting to remove them from the playing field before they can undermine the queen’s plans.

Swords clash, blood flows, and the dead begin to stack up across the land. Will Quinn and Berard solve the mystery before the assassins close in or will the queen get her ends? One thing is certain, it will take an army to stop these two.

THE BLACK MAP

After selling a load of arms to their mob employer, Captain Booker Ward and the crew of the salvage ship Kristi are offered a once-in-a-lifetime job. The only catch is, it’s out on the galactic edge.

                An Old Realm battleship has just been discovered marooned on a small planet. Since the fall of the realm, the centuries old battleship has supposedly laid derelict. It will take a team like Booker Ward’s to resurrect the long-dead ship and fly her home.

                But with big rewards come big risks. A ship as valuable as the one they are going out to retrieve won’t stay a secret for long. Once others know, there is no doubt that the Command Authority, which controls most of the spiral arm, will be coming to claim it as well.

                Can Booker Ward and his crew stand off the entire Command Authority battle fleet and get away with the ship, or are they returning to their mob employer empty handed? Will space pirates and marauders beat the Command Authority to the punch? Most importantly, can the crew even get the long-dead ship back up into space again?

                For the crew of the Kristi, it’s going to be high stakes gamble out on the edge of the black. And it looks like there going to be a whole lot of cannon fire before this deal is done.
