Kate Richmond, former army ranger and ISS operative, has seen a lot in her life.

Nothing surprises her much any more, not even a full scale incursion of an alien race by the Merkiaari! When a battle in the Border Zone leaves a pirate ship crippled, boarded by Alliance Marines, and reveals information that links Kate's brother with a dead viper and a bunch of Merkiaari corpses, it's safe to say that she's surprised. It's time for the most important mission of her life. It's time to find her brother.

Alexandra Yorke is one of a few trusted clairvoyants working with police on murder cases, but she has a secret. She isn't a clairvoyant, she's a witch unlike any other she has ever met. For years she has struggled to control her gifts, but years living inside one serial killer's head after another has taken its toll, and Alex has reached the end of the road. Barely able to control her gifts any longer, Alex retreats from the world to live at her grandparents farm where she grew up. Seclusion is her answer, but the world will not leave her alone. A few months of peace is all she has before a friend calls her in need of help and Alex can't say no. A body has been found, and evidence points to a connection with witches. Who is it that everyone just knows is a witch? Why, that strange woman who just moved back from the big city of course. What a coincidence!

Two hundred years later, the Alliance is cautiously exploring beyond its borders again, but the survey corp. is considered a mere gesture by some. General Burgton of the 501st Infantry Regiment believes a lack of expansion is leading the Alliance into stagnation. So when one small ship discovers a new alien race, it should be an easy decision to make contact, but what if the aliens are like the Merkiaari? Captain Jeff Colgan of the survey ship ASN Canada is at the tip of the spear. His ship made the discovery, his crew's lives are on the line, and his decisions will decide the outcome. Will the Alliance make new friends or will he be responsible for another sixteen billion deaths? When the aliens discover his ship and begin hunting him through their system, his mission changes from one of study to one of survival. What Price Honour (Book2) Humanity's last encounter with aliens saw sixteen point two billion people killed in a war with the Merkiaari that had spanned decades. Only by the grace of God and the use of Nanotechnology were they defeated. The result of that Nanotech? Vipers, a regiment of super soldiers tasked with protecting the Alliance and annihilating the Merki. It was a job they performed with distinction, a job they completed almost two centuries ago. a job that had cost them their humanity. Thurston is an unimportant border world with a problem, a Marine type problem. Not the sort of place Gunnery Sergeant Gina Fuentez expected to find one of the fabled Viper cyborgs, but that's just what she discovers when a simple mission to extract an operative from a terrorist camp leads to a fire-fight and two of her squad dead. With friends dying around her and a world coming apart at the seams, Gina must decide if the Marine Corps is really her home, or just a stopping place to where she really belongs. Operation Oracle (Book3) Deep under The Mountain on Snakeholme, vast computer networks are running simulations, but they're flawed and General Burgton's self imposed mission to safeguard the Alliance is in jeopardy. Without reliable intelligence, he cannot protect the Alliance from itself, let alone the Merkiaari. The missions he authorises are blacker than black, so secret that only he and the agents performing them know of their existence, but every operation relies upon his seemingly miraculous fore-knowledge of events and he is starting to make mistakes. Needing a solution, Burgton breaks the Alliance's A.I ban and spends trillions of credits on project Oracle, but when the project fails, and desperation sends him looking for an answer, he compounds his crime. If he can't build an A.I, he'll just have to steal one!

This set contains the first three books of the Devan Chronicles by Mark E. Cooper The God Decrees (Book1) : A feeble king sits the throne of Deva, and traitorous lords scheme to take it from him. Only the lords of the four great fortresses remain vigilant and loyal to the kingdom. Deva seems doomed, as the legions of the Protectorate march. Lord Keverin of Fortress Athione is desperate to save his people and the land that he serves, but magic has long since waned in Deva's people. Keverin knows that without a strong mage he is doomed to failure. A spell is cast to bring a champion to his aid, but something goes wrong and a Julia Morton suddenly finds herself stranded on an alien world with no friends and no way home. The Power That Binds (Book2) : Having come to terms with her new role in Deva, Julia is content to live in the fortress with her lover, Lord Keverin, and keep vigil over Deva's western border but the sorcerers of the Protectorate never rest. Lord Mortain, first Lord Sorcerer and absolute ruler of the Protectorate, orders a new two-pronged attack into motion. Firstly, General Navarien and his recently rebuilt fifth legion is ordered to take three coastal cities in Camorin thereby securing a strong point in the north from which he will take Fortress Malcor with Deva to quickly follow. Secondly, he relies on a traitor close to Deva's king, a gamble that pays off handsomely when Pergann is assassinated. The Warrior Within (Book3) : Julia has been defeated and all seems lost. Now, in The Warrior Within, we find Julia suffering from her enforced Tancred addiction and Keverin crossing Deva on his desperate mission to save her. Winter lies heavy upon the land, and Shelim, one time warrior and now shaman of the Night Wind Clan, is far from home. Driven north by his dreams of an outclan woman cloaked in death, and by his mentor's fear of his clan's defeat at the hands of Navarien's legion, Shelim struggles to persuade an obstinate clan chief to ally with the other clans at Denpasser. Reunited with Julia when his best friend proves his mastery over a clan swordmaster, Keverin has every intention of returning with Julia to Athione and his wedding. Julia has other ideas. Rescued from the sorcerers by Shelim's mentor, Julia is determined to repay her debt by ending Navarien's threat once and for all. Little does Julia know, but Mortain's heir has sent his son to Navarien with two hundred sorcerers and thirty thousand legionnaires to personally oversee the clan's destruction.
