The Fringe Collection (Books 1-3)

Nuclear war destroyed the earth, but Harper’s world was perfect until she met Eli Parker. As a promising up-and-coming developer, she should have been a shoo-in for a cushy job in Systems. Instead she was drafted into Recon — kicking and screaming onto Eli’s squad.
For Eli, death is just your average Tuesday. Most of his cadets don’t last a year. When your job is to venture out into the radiation-soaked Fringe, you learn not to get attached to anyone. Harper Riley should be no different, but she’s gotten under Eli’s skin. She’s started asking lots of questions — dangerous questions with no good answers. Eli wants to save her despite his better judgment. But can Eli save her from herself?

If you love kickass heroines, tormented heroes, blistering action, and steamy romance, you’ll love this nonstop dystopian adventure.

The Collection Includes:
Recon (Book One)
Exposure (Book Two)
Outbreak (Book Three)

What readers are saying:
“This is one of the best dystopian series I have ever read, and it is most definitely a series you can reread. This series is a must-read for dystopian lovers.”

“The world within the compound and the particular threats faced by the main characters feel so authentic, that when the suspense ratchets up (and it does), the pages practically turn themselves. The slow-burning chemistry between the cadet and the vet is electrifying.”

“A heroine with attitude and a hero who is more than a match for her…Harper and Eli are great characters.” “Honestly, I cannot stress too strongly how much I loved this book…I read one last night (finished about 5 a.m.) and read the other today — both times straight through because I could not put them down.”
The Fringe is perfect for grown-up fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games who want a series they can binge!

Dark Quasar Rising

In the heart of enemy territory, Vanti must save the day without blowing her cover… or her cool.

Security for a reality star cruising on a billionaire’s space yacht should be excellent cover for secret agent Lindsay “Vanti” Fioravanti. Her boss, the famous Elodie-Oh, doesn’t care where they go, as long as it’s viral.

Then Arun, the ship’s owner and pilot, grabs an opportunity to do business on Gagarin–a planet emerging into capitalism with enthusiasm. Getting in on the new market is a huge risk, but could offer enormous rewards. And visiting Gagarin gives Vanti the chance to recruit new informants.

But when a shipmate is kidnapped, Vanti and Arun must come to the rescue. Can they do it without exposing Vanti’s secret identity? And if not, who will feed the cat?

A Rain of Fire

War has come to the Galaxy.

The dark forces of the Neo Hegemony strike, sweeping across the worlds of the Arcadian sector and crushing all in their path. One system stands against the onslaught, the Kingdom of New Avalon. But the men and women of their expeditionary forces are trapped behind enemy lines on a besieged planet.

Losing those troops will lose the war. Their only hope? A last-ditch rescue mission led by Captain Hal Cutter and his battleship, Achilles.

Beset on all sides by lethal enemy warships, he must lead a rag-tag fleet of naval and civilian vessels across Hegemony-held space to save the beleaguered Kingdom soldiers.

In the skies and orbit, Lieutenant Jason ‘Rick’ Richards and the untested pilots of Viper squadron clash in a furious battle for supremacy against elite enemy fighters. And on the ground, Private Patrick ‘Wink’ Goble and his platoon must hold the line against a ruthless commander and her overwhelming force of battle-tested mechs until salvation arrives. All will play their part in this desperate struggle for survival against impossible odds.

The Great War has begun… Audio book available. Read by Jeffrey Kafer.
Read the epic new military science fiction series from Ralph Kern, the best-selling author of the Locus series. “A Rain of Fire, the first book in Ralph Kern’s Great War series, is a military science fiction tour de force. Most mil-SF writers seem to fall into retelling World War Two without realizing or admitting it, but Kern has embraced the inspired idea of writing an analog for the war that defined our modern world, except in a far-flung interstellar society of thousands of years in the future. It’s a daring conceit and he pulls it off with panache and skill. The characters are well drawn and engaging and the action keeps you on the edge of your seat. An excellent introduction to a universe I look forward to exploring further.”
Rick Partlow – Best Selling Author of Drop Trooper

“A vivid story, written in stunning detail by a master of his craft. This book went far and away beyond immersive–I could smell the acrid tang of the smoke and taste the blood. Truly riveting! If you haven’t read Ralph Kern before, you are missing out.” Jasper T. Scott – Best-selling author of Dark Space

“Ralph Kern has taken the most important conflict of the 20th century and brought it to vivid life on a galactic scale. Amidst the cool tech and epic space battles, it’s the human element that truly draws you into this book. With several characters based on historical figures, Ralph grounds the story in the lived experiences of humans grappling with a world-shaking conflict. Rain of Fire is both military science fiction epic and an important act of remembrance. Highly recommended.”
Scott Bartlett – Best-selling author of Supercarrier

“Searing action fuses with daring strategy and seductively dark ideology in this addictive new series from a major talent in military science-fiction.”
Tim C. Taylor – Best-selling author of The Human Legion
