War Eternal: The Complete Series
M.R. Forbes - 2020
Find the Goliath or be destroyed.The chilling words are the first thing Mitchell hears after an assassin’s bullet nearly ends his life. He tries to ignore them, convinced the voice in his head is a side-effect of his injuries. It isn’t.The warning is only the beginning. A glimpse into a struggle against an enemy older than time.An enemy that’s very real and much closer than he ever imagined.An enemy that will do whatever it takes to keep him from finding the centuries-lost starship and ending not only the fight but their very existence.Narrowly escaping capture, Mitchell falls into the hands of the Riggers — a ragtag crew of black-ops commandos who patrol the outer reaches of the galaxy. Guided by a captain with a reputation for murder, they’re dangerous, immoral, and possibly insane.They may also be humanity’s last hope for survival in a war that has raged beyond eternity.
Bastion Saturn
C. Chase Harwood - 2016
The only place of be free of AI is living off-world, with Saturn and its vast system of moons serving as the wild frontier. The only caveats to living there: the funds to fly a billion miles into space and a pledge to keep vigil against the threat of AI. Otherwise, what you do out there is your business.Career scoundrel/petty-thief Caleb finds himself broke and unemployed when he arrives at his new home among the colonists of Saturn's moons, so he takes a job as a cop. When law enforcement takes a turn for the less-than-just, Caleb refuses to sit idly back. After rescuing and escaping with several civilians, Caleb and his new comrades are now fugitives who must beg, borrow, and steal their way across Saturn's moon colonies to survive. Tensions rise as Earthlings begin looking at Off-Worlders as threats. Keeping his friends safe among Saturn's moons is no longer Caleb's only challenge--he must find a way to protect the last vestige of remaining free humans if they all want any hope at staying alive. For the sensitive ear, Bastion Saturn contains salty language and a main character with rather sexist attitudes. With that in mind, enjoy the ride!
