As the crisis on Earth deepens, she and her crewmates must improvise a desperate rescue from dwindling resources. The plan sends Aoife alone into a city in chaos, shadowed by the scars of her difficult childhood. A taut, heartfelt thriller about ingenuity, resilience, and the price of saving the world.
BOOK 1 OF THE GELVAN SAGA
Two hundred years of fragile truce between humanity and the alien Engus are about to shatter. When the Engus unearth ancient secrets that could bring war and defeat, a small band of humans races into forbidden space to capture long-lost alien technology ahead of the enemy, only to be decimated by sabotage. ConChain agent Heber Adogan must lead the survivors on a galaxy-spanning voyage through strange worlds, battling Engus subterfuge and betrayal at every turn, with only his unique telepathy standing between humanity and disaster.
BOOK 2 OF THE GELVAN SAGA
Echoes can get you into trouble when you don't know who's listening. The Velmarn, a
predator of unimaginable power, basks in the silence of the multiverse, until
humanity's new M-drive sends ripples across the stars. Exiled agent Danpah returns to warn
us, but instead uncovers a darker truth: someone is making unauthorised M-drive leaps, someone who is nursing a
genocidal grudge. As a family searches the galaxy for a missing daughter, unaware that she has stumbled into the heart of the mystery, the echoes
grow louder.
Hard SF of multiverse mechanics, espionage, and dark arithmetic.
