Shattered Alliance

Desperate times... The Hama came out of nowhere. In a single surprise attack, they destroyed the Alliance flagship, took its command crew hostage and rent the very fabric of the federation. For the first time in its history, the Alliance finds itself on the defense. The citizens are frightened. The council is cautious. And some men are desperate. Desperate enough to disobey the security council and mount a secret rescue operation. Desperate enough to work with the galaxy's most wanted criminal. Desperate enough to resurrect a terror weapon from the past. And desperate enough to risk open war to save those in the hands of this unknown foe. Filled with intense action, epic battles, ruthless enemies, cool ships, alien worlds, smooth spies, hot criminals, grumpy sidekicks, narcissistic captains, unacceptable insubordination, hostile relics and some deep, dark secrets, Shattered Alliance is a hilarious look at humanity's future in the stars from the author of the bestselling Duck & Cover Adventures.

The Hell Drivers were built for one reason, to make the enemy wet their battle pants. Composed of clowns, bears, wolves, doctors and even Death itself, this legendary squad of battle rigs was based on the most common fears in the galaxy and piloted by the biggest bad assess the Alliance could find. Now they're needed once more, and Commander Blayse Vides has filled the terror weapons with the only men he can trust to do the job...a dozen clones of himself. Along with The Oncilla, their job is to get Ambassador Decote and his family off of Mirada before the planet joins the enemy empire. It's the clones' first mission as a team and it's not going to be easy. They all hate each other.

John Carter had Barsoom. Antarius Thurgood got Altair. Stranded on an uncivilized world, Captain Thurgood finds himself alone against an entire planet filled with savage beasts and deadly denizens. To top it all off, the Hama are coming for him. Now, he must find a way to unite a people, conquer a planet, steal a ship and get off of Altair. It won't be easy. All he has are his wits and his grit because no one listened when he asked for a survival bazooka.

The war between the Earth led Alliance and the Hama Empire rages across the galaxy. There are valiant skirmishes, dastardly acts of subterfuge and sabotage, daring rescues, sinister sneak attacks and a hundred other tales of heroism worth telling. Meanwhile, back on earth, the Alliance capital world has become a hotbed of espionage and intrigue as friendships and allegiances are strained and broken. Cason Maze has been tasked with protecting the defense against this new front. He's on the trail of a league of villains purported to be a resurrected Crimson Menagerie, a cabal of powerful and power-hungry figures with vast resources working from the shadows to steer events to their will. Join Cason Maze, Meena Stendak, and Atticus Vides as the trio fights against time, villainy, and middle management to protect the world from the Crimson Gambit.
