Genre: Science Fiction
Generation (#1) INFECTION – POSSESSION – GENERATION
Nothing’s as dangerous as the enemy you can’t recognize, except the one you don’t want to kill.
Chief Security Officer Jas Harrington must protect her starship’s crew from hostile aliens. For the efficient if quick-tempered Jas, that hasn’t been too hard up till now. But the captain is drug-addled, and he’s hungry for the bonuses he gets from finding valuable resources on new worlds.
When the captain won’t listen to Jas’ fears about a mysterious planet, he is compromised by contact with a strange life form. A life form that threatens to take over the entire ship and return to Earth, where it can spread its deadly infection.
Now Jas is in a race against time, fighting to quarantine the alien infection and prevent the aliens from achieving their goal: Generation. She doesn’t realize it yet, but as she fights to save her crew, the future of all humanity hangs in the balance.
Generation is book one of ten books in the Shadows of the Void space opera serial.
Like a TV space opera pilot episode, Generation is the longest of all the books, and it introduces the main characters. The rest of the books in the series are shorter, and they trace the paths of more characters aboard the Galathea as together they battle the Shadows.
Stranded (#2) MAROONED – FORSAKEN – STRANDED
Jas Harrington defeated the alien-infested officers who threatened to take over her starship, and she finds herself in command.
But the ship is stranded after crash-landing on a planet inhabited by hostile life forms.
There’s little hope of rescue, the crew is mutinous, and Jas isn’t convinced all the possessed officers died in the crash.
Can she protect everyone from the dangers outside and within the ship? Is there a way to leave the planet?
The aliens make their move, and only a miracle can prevent Jas and the crew of the Galathea from being stranded—forever.
Dawn (#3) A Dark Secret – A Deadly Shadow – A False Dawn
After a hair-raising escape from a dangerous planet, Jas Harrington and the rest of her starship’s crew set out for the colony world of Dawn.
Jas doesn’t know if the acting captain is being controlled by a hostile alien, or why they must go to Dawn before returning with their damaged ship to Earth.
On the new world, they discover the horrible truth of what the aliens called Shadows do to victims caught in their traps.
They discover what Dawn’s inhabitants are hiding.
They discover that the planet’s security has been penetrated.
As the Shadows draw near, Jas fights desperately to free the people of Dawn from their dark secrets. If she doesn’t succeed, no one can survive.
Shadowrise (#4) In the void, the Shadows lurk, waiting to arise.
Jas Harrington and the crew of the Galathea have made it back to Earth. Now they face an investigation into the Shadow attack on the ship and the infiltration of the colony world of Dawn.
They find that things have changed since they went away. Strange disappearances and odd behavior lead them to the question: have the Shadows invaded their home planet?
When the former navigator Sayen Lee investigates, she’s taken hostage. Can Jas get her back? And can they find out what’s been happening on Earth before more lives are lost?
Underworld (#5) The Shadows have invaded Earth, but no one’s listening.
Jas Harrington’s returned to Earth after defeating the Shadows and escaping their clutches, only to find the hostile aliens have invaded her home planet.
Everywhere she turns, Shadows are walking among Earth’s population unnoticed. They’ve infiltrated the government, and they’re building their Shadow traps, ready to launch a full-scale assault.
Jas has to find a way to stop their spread, but she stumbles into Earth’s underworld subculture. Society’s rejects, the underworlders cross her at every turn.
Can Jas prove that Earth is under threat and make the government fight back? Can she overcome the obstacles the underworlders put in her way? If she doesn’t succeed, the Shadows will overrun Earth and destroy humankind forever.
