Future Night Stalkers

Captain Christine Merrill ranks as the toughest and best pilot in the Army's Night Stalker fighter regiment. She also hides one of the darkest secrets in the solar system. Sergeant Phil Parello keeps a secret of his own beyond his growing attraction to Captain Christine the Fighting Machine. Crashed on Io's lethal surface, the only way to survive is together. They must share their hearts and their secrets to survive The Sword of Io.

The nations of Earth are retreating into space. When the last airlift mission must succeed, the Night Stalkers answer the call. Captain Takara Olmsted and her Stinger-class ship, Stella, lead the way. But when Captain Rick Coralto and the Jess take a hit, the airlift goes to hell. The mission needs more than fantastic pilots to complete this Night Rescue.

Sentient Stingerman rather than a soldier. But when her team is sent to foil a plot against Luna and Stella downloads a coded message of her own, she dares to hope for a Second Chance Rescue.

Brody Jones flies Lifter Rescue-diving down into the hazards of Low Earth Orbit. There he saves who he can of Earth's last refugees. Captain Karina Rostov of the Future Night Stalkers can't understand Brody's career choice-neither his commitment to Lifter Rescue nor his refusal to fly with her. When a rescue flight forces them both to confront their pasts, each must finally face their own Heart's Refuge.

Mission: Canmerica (East and West) have long since fallen. China and Russia, well, the less said the better. The UK's vast habitats float safely above the far side of the Moon-and Canmerica's Delta Force and Night Stalkers have joined them there. No one knows quite what the Australians and Kiwis have done. But the India Particle Beam tyrannizes the rest of the Eastern Hemisphere and must be stopped. Team: Royal Delta Marine Syra Clairbourne, a third generation Spec Ops pilot. Royal Engineer Lucius Markham, an Earther who has climbed the gravity well to space for the first time in his life, to fulfill a dream. (Syra instantly labels him "Roodee" for Royal Dweeb Engineer.) The key to India's Particle Beam is the massive-and heavily protected-mirror launched into orbit. Using it as a reflector, India has literally burned all of her neighboring rivals from the face of the Earth. It has been untouchable, until Lucius had an idea. Just as Syra thought her own heart was untouchable...before she met Royal Engineer Roodee Markham.

Shot down in war on Luna. Crashed in the depths of Cauchy crater where no rescue will ever come. A warrior faces the one, final truth-a truth that the Army psych trainers got all wrong.
