Ascension Gate
5 primary works Complete
Book 1
A gateway to the stars. A colonization mission gone wrong. New powers found in dark corners of space.
The Marines hold the fate of our universe in their hands.
It was supposed to be a peaceful exploration, Earth’s first step in expanding to the stars. But, no plan survives first contact. Thrown into a battle for survival against the deadliest threats imaginable, the Marines must contend with ice and desert planets with mysterious creatures, along with a history of turmoil that threatens to spill over to Earth if not checked.
Meanwhile, a genetically-engineered threat rises on Earth—one that holds the secret to this intergalactic war.
Will our heroes in space survive long enough to make a difference? Can Earth's forces solve the mystery and put the pieces together in time?
They damn well better hurry, or an ancient, long-forgotten enemy will gain an unassailable foothold in their control of the universe and all within.
The first book in the Ascension Gate series. Fans of Stargate, Pern, Avengers, and Mass Effect will fall for these heroes in space.
Book 2
Stranded on an alien planet and left for dead. They've never felt so alive.
The attempt to colonize a system on the other side of a gateway to the stars led to serious problems. Massive storms, sandworms, and strange beings that threaten to end any chance our team has for survival.
Espinoza and his fellow Marines struggle to reconnect with Earth while battling the environment and those who attacked their ship on the way through the gateway. Shrina searches for her sister and answers to where the strange beings on Earth came from. Trent forms new bonds as he learns about powers beyond our comprehension.
Will Espinoza be able to figure out what the Goldies are, and why the storms attack? What made Shrina mutate in this powerful way? How can Trent survive in a world of gods?
Book 3
With new alliances and powers beyond comprehension, our team seems unstoppable.
That is, until they uncover the reason so much of our past has been buried.
Shrina went from FBI to kickass demi-dragon, but a new power is rising and it's up to her to stop it. In space, Espinoza and his team have a new world to explore, while Trent has brought the intergalactic war to new levels.
Will Shrina be able to stand against the risen dragon? How do the Goldies and their hosts play into the ultimate war for the universe's fate? Will Trent be able to rally an alien army to stand against the Exiles?
Book 4
The Exiles time has come. They will reopen the portals, bringing a new era of chaos to the universe.
Not if our team of heroes can stop them. Shrina with her dragon powers, Trent with his light, and Espinoza with his bloodbag companions. As their paths bring them together, it's up to them to keep the rest of the universe from becoming enslaved by the Exiles.
Our Marines might have found new friends in strange places, but can they be trusted? Will rebel factions win in their refusal to accept help from Earth?
Book 5
The final book in the complete Ascension Gate series.
An ancient evil was dispelled, and guardians appointed to see it kept at bay. The universe was safe… for the time being. This evil has now awakened, and it is without a doubt the return of Apophis.
A Marine excitedly joins the elite teams out in space, but soon learns he’s bitten off more than he can chew. Even more so when he goes off to battle the enemy and finds himself and another young sergeant behind enemy lines.
We’re all doomed if Earth command and those out on the front lines can’t find a way to stop the enemy before it’s too late.
STAR EMPIRES brings a conclusion to the series that some have termed STARGATE meets THE MUMMY. An epic military space opera.
