Book 1: Rebels and Patriots
The Imperium isn’t what it once was.
In a realm of constant intrigue, backstabbing and economic decline, the saying gains truth with every given moment. Inspector Paul Grimm’s best friend has been framed for a murder that, technically, he did commit. Paul must follow the trail before it goes cold to find out who’s behind this latest attack on the powerful Nathaniel family.
To clear his friend’s name, Paul heads out to the Rim where Imperial colonies sit uncomfortably close to territory claimed by the Gray Quorum. In his desperate race to unravel the plot, he’s pulled into a web of intrigue along with Colonel Julia Urbica of the Imperial Marines. Julia’s local, irregular troops prefer to enforce the Emperor’s peace by finding trouble before it finds them and they adopt Paul’s task for reasons of their own. Events escalate at every step, and Paul’s mission to help a friend is dwarfed by a threat to the very fabric of Imperial life. He must walk the knife’s edge between peace and outright war with an advanced alien species. But then, perhaps war is just what the Imperium needs. The current peace has a stench of decay about it.
Book 2: Beyond the Rim
"It could be worse. At least you’re an Imperial citizen." Anon
It was a common enough phrase in the Imperium, but it began to ring false for Paul Grimm and Julia Urbica after their failed scouting mission at the Gray world of Sintel. Captured and carried far beyond the reach of Imperial intervention, they find a society that, while far from perfect, may actually be worth fighting for. And fight they must. The nearly mythical lost worlds of the ‘Beyonder’ colonies are embroiled in a decades old civil war that shows no signs of ending. Lacking the Imperium’s crushing taxes, the war is prosecuted mainly through the licensing of privateers; ships authorized by the various governments to attack and seize enemy shipping and installations.
As they struggle to find a solid footing in the unfamiliar society of Roanoke, they learn that old enemies are still out there and they’re still pulling strings to keep conflict alive. Paul and Julia must tread carefully to sort out friend from foe, knowing that the slightest misstep could bring about the complete destruction of the Beyonder worlds. Lurking just beyond their borders lies a merciless, calculating enemy and the lightly armed privateers would be no match for purpose built warships. Being intentionally forgotten by the Imperium can be a double edged sword.
Book 3: The Gray Matter
Though the worlds of the Imperium became a nightmare of oppression, the lost colonies have modeled themselves on an ancient dream of democracy and freedom. Imperial Inspector Paul Grimm and Marine General Julia Urbica turn their backs on the Imperium and, in the colonies, they find something worth fighting for.
Bordering both the Imperium and the aliens of the Gray Quorum, the colonies have managed to thrive despite the menacing shadows of their neighbors but it has always been a precarious existence. In seizing their one chance at true independence, the worlds of the colonies might just lose everything.
