Ian and Jenny Bragg are rich, but they’re nothing like members of the billionaire’s club. They answer to a higher authority. Governments fear them while wanting their influence. Billionaires are rich enough to avoid public scrutiny. They only appear when they want, in the way they want. Essoe Cavindish is the billionaire playboy that romance stories love to portray. He has a dark secret, even though it’s public, but no one talks about it. He destroys the lives of young women who wander into his inner circle.

Who decides what’s best for Alaskans? Mandates from on high, for the greater good. Reduce violence. Eliminate hunger. Save the people by dehumanizing them. Make them dependent. Take the citizens' voice. Remove their claws. Cory Beringer’s old man took him to Rhodesia to fight as a mercenary when the boy was thirteen. Who does that? Someone who believes when society falls, it won’t be a catastrophic train wreck.

The ship survived, but over time the original crew died out. Their children were left to continue the fight for their home against their sworn enemy, the vicious alien Malibor. They’ve lived their whole lives in space. Their idea of heaven is open air, blue skies, and the quiet of peace. But they'll never have that if they don't take it by force.

Ian Bragg remembered his first hit when he had little experience. He didn’t wish that on others. It would expose them. It would put the Peace Archive at risk. In the outskirts of Atlanta, Ian and Jenny bring together a select group of operators, loyal and dedicated, to train on a live contract. Winner takes home the big prize – a million dollars, tax-free. The others get a payout based on the ingenuity of their engagement because the Peace Archive won’t tolerate losers. They drive everyone to be better than they were the day before. In the real world, every contract is a challenge.

The end is in sight. The Borwyn dig deep into their reserves. In space. On the ground. Different environments. The same engagement. One final battle to determine who will survive to lead Septimus. Jaq, Crip, Max, Deena, Brad, Bec, Teo, and the rest of the team giving everything they have, bending the fabric of the universe to their wills to overcome the ultimate weapon the Malibor deploy.

The preliminaries are out of the way. The real fight begins. The Malibor are putting up staunch resistance, fighting as if their lives depend on it. Which they do and they don’t. The Borwyn aren’t using a scorched earth approach. They’re not destroying everything in their path. They’re willing to live in peace with the Malibor. Which is something the Malibor have no interest in. Victory or death! They will defeat the Borwyn, or they will die trying.

Kill or be killed. Take the fight to the enemy, only until you can't. Then repair, regroup, rearm, and return to the fight. Unless the enemy shows up before you're ready. Then you get ready. There are no do-overs in war. While the battle rages in space, the Borwyn decide to put boots on the ground in a daring, risk-all return to Septimus. The combat team is tasked to disrupt strategic communications. Is it even possible?

Ian and Jenny Bragg are contracted by the highest levels of the government. They can share none of the secrets they learn. They have to do the job alone. The contracted value is enough that they'll never have to work again, but that's not Ian's plan. Ian and Jenny are taking care of a small army of employees. From The Club to their independent operators.

The Borwyn remain undeterred as they gather hardware and rally their allies. It’s best not to fight from within a vacuum, unless that vacuum is space, and the fight is between starships. The crew of Chrysalis are challenged afresh when their goal is changed in light of new revelations. Jaq, Crip, Max, and the rest continue their fight against the Malibor in this fast-paced continuation of the Starship series.

Make a high-speed run of Septimus, the Borwyn home planet, but the Malibor have a different idea about where the battle will be fought. Who is the predator, and who is the prey? The Borwyn find their new friends can be both a hindrance and helpful. Liberate Septimus and free the Borwyn. It takes all of Jaq’s willpower to focus the crew on their singular goal.

Ian and Jenny Bragg are called to a meeting by those who are paid to deliver justice. Some call them assassins. Others call them hitmen. Ian knows them as operators. Market share is about taking business from others. A zero sum game. The Peace Archive is growing, and it’s making the wrong people uncomfortable.

The ship survived, but over time, the original crew died out. Their children were left to continue the fight for their home against their sworn enemy, the vicious alien Malibor. They’ve lived their whole lives in space. Their idea of heaven is open air, blue skies, and the quiet of peace. But they'll never have that if they don't take it by force.
