Book 1

It's the near future, and mankind has expanded its presence in space. Maintaining law and
order beyond Earth is the responsibility of the International Space Police Force, known
colloquially as the Star Cops. Their leader is Commander Nathan Spring.
1.1 Dead Air by Roland Moore.
When Sonia Garrett dies during a routine moonwalk, the Star Cops suspect that her suit was
sabotaged. As part of the investigation, Devis and Paul travel to an ancient space station to
interview Xander O'Brien.
But the reclusive meteorologist has a surprise in store. He knows exactly who killed Sonia
Garrett. Aliens!
1.2 Hostile Takeover by Rossa McPhillips.
A crashed shuttle with no passengers or crew on board. The murder of a gangster. The
kidnapping of a space station union leader. What connects all three cases?
As Nathan's team investigate, they encounter Alice Okoro, a corporate investigator for Wolfe
International. What is her agenda? Is she there to hinder or help the Star Cops?
1.3 Death in the Desert by Sarah Grochala.
When the sister of Lee Jones, his deceased former lover, is kidnapped from a research lab in
Chad, Nathan travels to Earth to investigate in person.
