    While the people of Earth struggle to survive, out on the frontier, on a thousand worlds, mankind thrives and grows, building new civilizations and looking boldly to the future. But man has never been able to live in peace, and even Earth’s sad fate has failed to slow the call to war. Most of the colonies lack the industry and economic power to sustain their own armies and navies, and they look to the mercenaries of the Great Companies for aid in time of war. These futuristic condottiere contract themselves to the highest bidder, and the mightiest strike fear into the hearts of all who oppose them. Darius Cain is the leader of the Black Eagles, the most renowned of all the Companies. A military genius, he has led his undefeated warriors from victory to victory. The Eagles command the highest rates of any of the Companies, and leaders bankrupt worlds to pay their price. But amid the ruins of Earth and on planets all across occupied space there are signs of a greater darkness, a force working in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike, to launch a final war to reduce all mankind to slavery. As Cain slowly uncovers the truth, he must forge an alliance among old enemies, the other Companies his men have fought for years…and the twin brother he hasn’t seen in a decade. The Crimson Worlds are about to explode into a war that may be mankind’s last.

     Terrence Compton is one of Earth’s greatest admirals, a warrior almost without equal. Alongside his oldest friend and brilliant colleague, Augustus Garret, he and his forces saved Earth from invasion by the robotic legions of the First Imperium’s insane computer Regent. There is just one problem. The First Imperium was held back by the disruption of the sole warp gate connecting the two domains…and Compton and 300 of his ships are trapped on the wrong side, surrounded by the Regent’s vast fleets and cut off from Earth. Pursued by their deadly enemy, Compton and his fleet must flee into the darkness of unexplored space, seeking safety…and ultimately a new home. Their journey will take them deep into the heart of the First Imperium, to the silent, windswept worlds where the ancient race that built the Regent once dwelled…and uncover the lost secrets of its disappearance 500,000 years ago.

    The first of the deep space carriers, no other warship in the fleet holds as many honors or has recorded as many kills. No other warship in the fleet is as old. Accepting the inevitable, the Federation Space Navy has decided to refit her and send her on a tour of the frontier, showing the flag to their allies and enemies as a reminder of her glory-and then decommission her for good. But Avalon has been a backwater posting for ten years and has problems a mere refit can't fix. The systems along her planned tour have been seeing pirates for the first time in decades, and there are rumblings of Commonwealth scouting ships all along the border. It may be Avalon's final tour, but it looks to be anything but quiet.

She even comes to wonder if her brilliance in school and eventually at deciphering code is somehow connected to her constant companion. When the Naval Intelligence Agency, the NIA, recruits her, her adventures grow beyond fending off thieves and killers to tracking down interstellar smugglers as part of an elite team, but the smuggling cartel are quick to fight back.

     For fifty years, Earth has received mysterious data transmissions from random locations in deep space. The streams include advanced technology, allowing Humans to achieve faster-than-light travel virtually overnight. As we prepare to take our first, tentative steps into interstellar space, we know almost nothing about our alien benefactors, and their motivations remain unexplained. While completing their shakedown cruise, Captain Tom Prescott and the crew of the first Terran Fleet Command starship, TFS Ingenuity, stumble into a first contact situation. They learn that Earth is not the first civilization granted access to the stars before their time – and how this Faustian gift has inevitably led to centuries of interstellar war. Humanity’s existence hangs in the balance as a powerful alliance assembles a preemptive military strike, believing it to be their only option to protect themselves … from us. Prescott and his small, initially unarmed starship must serve as our only line of defense. Ingenuity is our only hope.

    Not all the action occurs on the main front. Space is too big for that kind of restriction. The Klassekians are a gifted race, with an ability which could help the Empire in its war against the Ca'cadasans. Just entering space, the species is still torn apart by religious and nationalistic schisms. They are on the verge of a nuclear war. And that is the least of their problems. For six light months from their star system is a blue giant, and the timer on its life is just about to hit zero. Exploration Command ships discover the civilization, and it is soon apparent that this is one that needs saving. But saving the six billion people on the planet is a daunting task, especially with a killing wave of radiation a year and a half away, six months after the blue giant explodes. And one of the main religious factions of the planet sees their destruction as a cause for celebration, the return of their God. Now the humans must not only battle time, but the politics and religious fanaticism of a fatalistic people who do not desire rescue, and are determined to stop those who do. Add to this the mysterious alien artifacts that rise from surface to above the atmosphere, and the mission becomes interesting in the most hazardous manner. And in the darkness, wait things that humanity thought they were well rid of, probing the human fleet, and threatening the great Empire base at Bolthole.

    Share the experiences of fighting men under punishing conditions, extreme temperatures, and intense monsoon rains as they search for the enemy in the rugged mountains and teeming lowlands. Relive all the terror, humor, and sadness of one man’s tour of duty with real-life action in spectacular stunning detail.

    But even before Jed’s adventure begins, the Second War for Pennsylvanian Independence has raged for a generation. Originally published as separate stories, Tales of B-Company: The Complete Collection captures the struggle, tragedy, and heroism of a company of TRACE commandos as they wage war for the freedom of New Pennsylvania. In this collection, fans of Bunker’s novel will discover cameos by some of his most-beloved characters, as well as a new appreciation for the struggle of TRACE against Transport. “Gelassenheit” tells the origin story of a fan-favorite character in the B-Company tales, recalling the conflict established in The Pennsylvania Omnibus as an Amish family tries to maintain its cultural identity under a despotic Transport Authority. In “Gettysburg,” the commandos of B-Company fight to secure much-needed okcillium—the miracle mineral and power source of Transport’s dominion over its citizens—to even the odds in their rebellion against the Authority. “Susquehanna” finds our heroes desperate to secure TRACE’s vital food supply from the Amish Zone, and circumstances force them to make an uncomfortable alliance with The Wild Ones, the salvager-homesteaders of New Pennsylvania. And in “Columbia,” an unsanctioned raid to free the captured QB, B-Company’s beloved captain, becomes a race against time when Transport sets a ticking time-bomb to destroy the City. In Tales of B-Company, heroes fight and heroes fall. Loyalties are tested and friendships forged. And TRACE wages bloody battle to win freedom for an entire planet. ________________________ “Chris has populated the now more tactile and detailed Pennsylvania world with unforgettable characters who live and breathe and leap from the page—characters for whom I began to care more deeply the more I read about them… what Chris has produced here … is on par with or better than my original Pennsylvania story. And it should be read as an expression of Chris Pourteau’s own original and fantastic art—a piece of literature in its own right. I think it’s that good, and I bet you will too. —Michael Bunker, author of The Pennsylvania Omnibus and Brother, Frankenstein “Pourteau handles Military SciFi with a deft literary gift for both the regular and the heroic that reminds the reader of Bernard Cornwell. Brilliant in scope, nuanced in execution. Read this and enjoy.” —Nick Cole, author of The Wasteland Saga, Soda Pop Soldier, and Apocalypse Weird: The Red King “Chris Pourteau just gets better and better writing in this world. Crisp and engaging, his words bring you into the action and tension of the Pennsylvania universe with immediacy and drama. The B Company stories are great military tales, but are also stories of humanity and relationships torn in the midst of the ongoing conflict between the Transport Authority, TRACE and the rest of the population of New Pennsylvania." —AnneHope, Amazon reviewer (5-star review of Columbia: A Third Tale of Bestimmung Company)

    Canadian Prime Minister and Hubrin War veteran Alain Lapointe must travel to the new world to see firsthand the damage being attributed to his government, and then find a way to win back the trust of people on both worlds.

     A prior Junior at college, Peter lives in a society run by a unitary global Party, where all citizens vote by using a phone app and tolerance is enforced to such an extreme that differing opinions can reversely land you in jail. But this is also a society that has been blessed with global peace, Peter’s generation marking a century free of war—until alien Herculeans invade a neighboring colonial planet, Nova Terra. Peter is quickly drafted like thousands of others to meet the threat, and now a year later, he has just returned back to Earth from his tour, but not in the usual way: secretly in fear for his life. Peter has survived something he wasn’t supposed to while deployed, and the information he has that the Party wants to remain a secret can cost him his life. As the sole survivor that knows the truth behind a botched government cover up on Nova Terra, Peter wonders if anyone will ever believe him. The reason, he has skeletons in his own closet from deployment. But even more damning is his younger self following him around telling him to go back and fight till he dies, or that his only friend is a jealous cloud that encourages him to succumb back to a drug addiction that makes him homicidal. The Party doesn’t need much to prove Peter is clinically insane, but that crucial determination lies on one thing. How did Peter survive when everyone thought he was dead? And what really did happen on Nova Terra? Now as the only witness left Peter retells his story, where maybe along the way he will also figure out what patriotism really is, and what it truly means to be a citizen. Rejected by agents and publishers alike for being too controversial, Travesty is brought to you by the author himself via Kindle.

    It’s a marathon and a team marathon at that. Even if you’re the fastest, sometimes you have to turn around and come back to help the slower ones. If you show them you care about the team, about them, then you’re all running the same race. That’s when you’ll really see what they can do.” The clandestine war between the Xen Empire and the Terillian Confederation continues. The Dark Zone—officially called the Neutral Quadrant—is littered with the bodies of countless soldiers from both sides. It is into this wasteland that Lieutenant Emily Martin and her crew set out on a recon mission to investigate a planet they suspect contains an illegal Terillian base. Why have the Terillians violated the Peace Accords, and what are they so desperate to protect? It doesn’t take them long, however, to run into a squad of Terillian fighters. Outmatched and outgunned, Lieutenant Martin and her crew make a desperate gamble for survival, aiming their ruined ship for a crash landing at the planet below. There the fight for survival takes a vicious turn. It’s not only the Terillians and the inhospitable ecosystem of the planet that Lieutenant Martin must defeat, but also dissent from within her own ranks. Her superior officer has no combat skills and her crew questions Emily’s own leadership—skills both her men and her superior officers report are sorely lacking. With the odds this stacked against her, how can Lieutenant Martin ever possibly survive, much less uncover what the Terillians are hiding? Lieutenant Emily Martin didn’t become the only female officer ever in the Elite Guard because she thought it would be easy, but this battle could easily prove to be her last.
