Books in the World’s Together series
Book 1
Synergy Of Hopes
He lived a sheltered life until the nav-com flashed the message, ‘Location Unknown. Searching for Star Fix…’
Ensign Nivpul Exavent has dreamt since boyhood of becoming the first person to pilot the next generation star ship his grandfather would one day build.
When a surprise call from his grandfather puts Nivpul at the helm, flying solo, he’s in his element, until a spacial anomaly strands him far beyond known space and any hope of support, or rescue.
The discovery of a small ship tumbling on the edge of a stellar storm offers Nivpul a first hope for charting a path home, and shackles him with a survivor he dare not trust yet promises access to resources he cannot turn down.
When her help causes him to stumble upon examples of technology from home, he finds himself thrust into a world his position as a junior officer in a trading fleet never prepared him for, but within which she moved with to much ease.
Available on Kobo, Applebooks, Nook, Kindle, Google Play, and more.
Book 2
Into The Crucible
Ensign Nivpul Exavent has succeeded in bringing his grandfather’s ship home after a spacial anomaly stranded him far beyond the edge of charted space.
With the outsider woman who stole his heart on his arm, and a representative of a prince of the realm watching his every move, any semblance of the sheltered life from which he’d been ripped so long ago proved out of reach.
As circumstances spiral out of hand, Niv’s grandfather convinces him to take June off station and to hide at a safe location until they received an all clear. It never comes, replaced by a plea to use what they knew about the uncharted space from which they’d returned to disrupt the outside support backing a powerful Duke with sights on the Imperial throne.
Where his last journey through that region of space required the kind of subterfuge and misdirection June excelled at, this trip would force Niv to face his fear of stepping out of the shadows to make people who didn’t know him or his people listen.
Available on Kobo, Applebooks, Nook, Kindle, Google Play, and more.
Book 3
Sweep The Forge
Nivpul Exavent knows his return to the Consortium fleet won’t go unnoticed, but still he hopes to slip in without fanfare.
The presence of an honour guard consisting of rows of ships lined up to create a passage through to the flagship sent the clear signal nothing about his return would be smooth. Not with the fleet as a whole, or with those in command or their divided opinion of his importance to their effort.
When an attack on June leaves her hanging on the edge of life and the source of the brush with death is linked to a part of her past she have been working to expose, the decision is made to carry the fight back to the the rogue organisation from which she had escaped to be with him.
This means letting June confront the horrors of that past, with the danger she will get dragged so deep into parts of herself she has yet to come to terms with Niv could lose the ability to reach her, or guide her back out to him.
Available on Kobo, Applebooks, Nook, Kindle, Google Play, and more.
