Alexis Carew

Alexis Carew has spent her life learning to run a frontier holding-managing crews, making hard calls, and thinking like a leader. But when her future on Dalthus is cut short, she takes the only path left that offers freedom: the Royal Navy. As a midshipman aboard a shorthanded warship, Alexis is thrown into a harsh, unforgiving life where discipline is absolute, mistakes are costly, and respect must be earned the hard way. The fleet is stretched thin, tensions are rising beyond the Fringe Worlds, and something dangerous is moving in the dark between systems. Out here, there are no second chances. To survive-and to rise-Alexis must master the art of command, prove herself to a skeptical crew, and face the brutal realities of war in deep space. Into the Dark is a fast-paced military sci-fi adventure of starships, strategy, and coming-of-age under fire-perfect for fans of space fleet combat and age-of-sail tradition reborn among the stars.

A mutiny is brewing… and Midshipman Alexis Carew is trapped in the middle of it. Branded an outsider. Driven to the edge. And serving under a captain who wants her gone. Alexis Carew survived her first taste of war-but life aboard HMS Hermione is a different kind of battle. Under the command of the cruel and vindictive Captain Neals, every watch is punishment, every mistake magnified, and every ally stripped away. In a Navy that barely tolerates her, Alexis is pushed to her limits-physically, mentally, and morally. But the greatest danger isn't the enemy beyond the hull. It's the one within. As tensions rise among the crew and officers, discipline begins to fracture. Whispers spread. Loyalties shift. And when the spark finally ignites, Alexis will have to choose where she stands-between duty and survival, between obedience and rebellion. Because when a ship turns on itself in the depths of darkspace… there's nowhere to run. Mutiny. Honor. Survival. Mutineer continues the Alexis Carew series with high-stakes space combat, age-of-sail tactics in a sci-fi setting, and a relentless test of one young officer's courage in the face of impossible odds. Perfect for fans of: • Military space opera with strong character focus • Naval tradition in a sci-fi setting • Coming-of-age under fire • Stories of resilience against brutal command If you like Honor Harrington, Hornblower, or gritty, character-driven space navy fiction-this is your next mission.

Victory at the guns was only the beginning… Now the fate of star nations may rest on one young lieutenant. Newly promoted and thrust aboard a powerful ship of the line, Alexis Carew expects war-broadside duels, fleet engagements, and the clear enemy she understands. Instead, she finds herself at the center of something far more dangerous: a covert mission that could reshape the balance of power across human space. Escorting diplomats into the heart of the French Republic, Alexis must navigate a world of politics, deception, and fragile alliances-where a misstep could doom entire systems. While war with Hanover rages in the background, a far more delicate battle unfolds in courtrooms and salons, where reputation is a weapon and appearances can decide the fate of empires. But even as she struggles to master diplomacy, the dangers of the void remain. Enemy ships still hunt. Crews still bleed. And when crisis strikes, it won't be grand fleets that decide the outcome… It will be the little ships. Duty. Diplomacy. Destiny. The Little Ships continues the Alexis Carew series with thrilling space combat, rich naval tradition, and a deeper look at the political forces shaping interstellar war. From brutal gundeck action to high-stakes intrigue, Alexis must prove she can lead not just in battle-but in a universe where victory demands far more than firepower. Perfect for fans of: • Military space opera with strong character arcs • Age-of-sail tactics in a sci-fi setting • Honor Harrington, Hornblower, and naval adventure fiction • Stories blending action with political intrigue If you enjoy space battles, sharp character growth, and the clash of empires-this is your next voyage.

Her first command. Her hardest test. Lieutenant Alexis Carew has finally earned what every officer dreams of-a ship of her own. HMS Nightingale should be the perfect assignment: a command, a return toward home, and a chance to prove herself at last. But the reality is anything but simple. Her new crew is a patchwork of misfits and castoffs. Her first officer resents her command. And in the Fringe worlds she must patrol, many believe a woman has no place wearing a uniform-let alone giving orders. Worse, ships are vanishing without a trace-vital vessels disappearing along key trade routes, threatening the fragile lifelines of a war already stretched to its limits. As Alexis begins to unravel the mystery, she finds herself facing enemies both old and new… including one who claims he's changed. And as if command, politics, and danger weren't enough, she's saddled with unexpected passengers-and a stubborn, sharp-toothed creature that refuses to leave her side. Out here, far from the Core and the safety of the fleet, Alexis will have to forge discipline from chaos, earn loyalty from doubt, and command respect where none is freely given. Because a captain isn't made by rank alone. Command. Conflict. Consequence. HMS Nightingale continues the Alexis Carew series with a powerful shift from survival to leadership-where every decision carries weight, and every mistake has a cost. Perfect for fans of: • Military space opera with strong leadership arcs • Age-of-sail tradition in a sci-fi setting • Character-driven naval adventure • Stories of proving yourself against impossible odds If you enjoy Honor Harrington, Hornblower, or space navy fiction with grit and heart-step aboard.

The war may be over… but the fighting isn't. With the guns fallen silent, Lieutenant Alexis Carew finds herself grounded-her ship laid up, her commission reduced to half-pay, and her future uncertain. Back on her homeworld, she's expected to trade command for quiet duty, managing family lands and settling into a life she never truly wanted. But peace brings its own kind of trouble. An influx of rough miners and opportunists is turning the frontier into a powder keg. Old shipmates are drifting into violence. Law is thin, tensions are rising, and Alexis-still the only real authority in-system-is the one everyone turns to when things go wrong. She can try to play the dutiful heir. Or she can fight. As political battles reshape her world and new threats emerge in the shadows of "peace," Alexis is forced to confront a deeper question: who is she, without a ship beneath her feet? Because some captains aren't meant to stand still. Duty doesn't end with war. Privateer takes the Alexis Carew series in a bold new direction-where frontier justice, political intrigue, and personal stakes collide in a system on the edge of change. Perfect for fans of: • Military sci-fi beyond the battlefield • Space opera with strong character evolution • Frontier worlds and lawless colonies • Naval heroes adapting to life off the ship If you love Honor Harrington, Firefly-style frontier tension, and character-driven space adventure-this is a must-read.

Stranded. Hunted. Betrayed. Alexis Carew has faced pirates, warships, and the brutal discipline of the Fleet-but nothing like this. Her ship is gone. Her allies have abandoned her. And on the hostile world of Erzurum, she leads a battered band of survivors through a deadly wilderness where every step could be their last. Pirate search teams scour the skies above. Something far more dangerous stalks the ground below. Cut off from rescue, low on supplies, and surrounded by enemies both seen and unseen, Alexis must do the impossible-hold her crew together and carve a path to safety through terrain that seems designed to kill them. But survival won't be enough. Because the deeper Alexis digs into what's happening on Erzurum, the more she realizes the truth: the real enemy isn't just the pirates. And if she's going to save her people, she may have to trust those she once fought against. Survival. Deception. Redemption.
