The books
I Guess We're Heroes
A team of scientists discover intelligent alien life, and start a dangerous race to capitalize on the opportunity. As the decades pass, however, first contact fades from living memory, and is mysteriously absent from any official historical records. For the next five centuries humanity ventures out to the stars, their various political factions leaving no shortage of problems for an enterprising crew to make a living off of. The mercenaries of Specialized Support Contractors were only looking for small jobs befitting their fledgling company, but soon find themselves forced into the limelight when their employer’s ambitions place an ancient alien weapon in their possession. Digging deeper into the origins of their cargo brings even more heat from vested interests who want the truth of humanity’s first contact with alien life to be kept secret. With entire planets caught in the crosshairs of a looming interstellar war, any choice the mercenaries make could have catastrophic consequences.
Out of the Fire, Into the Furnace
As the threat of Eriphiom descends upon Imaldi, the mercenaries of Specialized Support Contractors struggle to convince the local nobility of the validity of the threat, and of the urgency to bolster their defenses. Old and new foes work from the shadows to sabotage SSC’s efforts and steer the impending conflict to their own benefit. Each faction’s competing goals stumbling upon one another to create a delightful blend of chaos, and bring a thrilling conclusion to the first plot arc of the series.

About the author
