The Third Fleet of the Imperial Navy is dispatched to the troubled duchy. Zephyrinus Zapatas and his fellow marines are charged with helping the loyalists re-establish order and stamp out the independence movement before it spreads any further. The rebels, however, are many, well organized and, prepared to fight tooth and nail to the bitter end.

Gaelic of Arkum is dying.
The only thing the ne’er do well smuggler and ex-junkie wants to do with the little time left him, is drop off his last load, get paid and hole up in his favorite cathouse for a week before shoving off back into space for a final flight into oblivion. Unfortunately for Gaelic, his long buried past comes a calling, gumming up his plans and luring him back to the source of all his miseries, the only woman he has ever loved; the only woman he hates.
Along the harrowing way, Gaelic must contend with genocidal AIs of the mysterious Psion Collective, troops of the Federation Forces who would see him hung for treason and Knights of the Holy Terran Empire whose religious zeal threatens to get him killed in the first fires of a galactic war.
It’s all enough to make Gaelic wonder who he has to kill to be able to die in peace.

New Orleans, city of music, mystery, and murder!
A kidnapped girl, slated to be sacrificed. A cop and a priest and an inner-city erupting into a race-fueled gang war. The blood moon is rising — and La Bruja is ready to kill.
When the severed head found in the city’s landfill is identified as having belonged to the brother of one of New Orlean’s most notorious gang leaders, Detective Gustavo Guerrera’s investigation leads him to the darkest reaches of the Big Easy’s diabolical underbelly. Before long, another death is discovered, a young boy, one of a set of twins recently kidnapped off the streets of the Crescent City’s poorest ghetto. Their disappearance was barely noticed initially outside the circle of their loved ones, but now that Damon Washington has been found and discovered to have been brutally murdered; the story of the twins’ kidnapping is propelled to the front page and top of the hour news coverage. The boy’s death and the fear for his sister Dinah’s whereabouts shatters the uneasy peace between the neighborhood’s rival street gangs. Their race-fueled, escalating violence complicates the search for the missing child and the hunt for the person of interest thought to have kidnapped the twins, a woman identified in hush whispers as, La Bruja, a priestess of the latest cult of an ancient goddess of death.
Sidelined from the case by a friendly fire investigation, Detective Guerrera joins forces with Vatican Exorcist Monsignor Patrick Grimm, a priest with some prickly, mysterious baggage of his own. The two men must stay out of the gangs’ crosshairs in their race against time to find the child. The blood moon is rising and with it the chances that young Dinah Washington will be added to the rising body count.
The book is currently only available through amazon. Wider distribution is coming in November of 2026.
