Humanity cast him out. Now he’s their only hope.

Winner of the Kindle Storyteller Award

Master Commander Carter Rose was engineered to be the ultimate weapon. Augmented strength. Tactical brilliance. Command of the deadliest warship ever built.

After crushing the post-human Aternien Empire, his reward was exile. For a century, he has lived in bitter solitude on a forest moon, feared and forsaken by the very people he fought to save.

Then Major Carina Larsen arrives with news that shatters his world. The Aterniens have returned, more dangerous than ever.

The Union has grown soft after a hundred years of peace. Their weapons are relics. Their tactics, obsolete. Only Rose’s battleship, the Longsword Galatine, can stand against the coming storm.

To save humanity, Rose must reunite his scattered Master Officers, augmented heroes betrayed by those they once swore to protect, and reclaim his ship.

But in a galaxy where post-humans like Rose are feared and hated, both the Union and the Aterniens vie for his allegiance.

When the perfect weapon must choose a side, no one is safe.

Forsaken Commander launches the Aternien Wars series, a high-octane fusion of military sci-fi and space opera, where engineered warriors battle a post-human empire forged from ancient Egyptian myth.

A planet steeped in mystery...
Jess Amiko is long past her days as a space marine, with all the glory of that time tarnished beyond repair by what came after. Trying to rebuild from the ashes, she's taken a job as a security guard on Kenai, a lonely world far from the Council systems. It's supposed to be easy duty - quiet and peaceful, on a docile world with no real threats, watching over an archeological dig at a site built by a race long vanished.

Betrayed and attacked by forces unknown, and finding that nothing on Kenai makes sense, Jess is plunged into a desperate fight for survival that leads her deep into the mysteries of Kenai's past, and deep into the hardship and paradox the planet imposes on all who call it home.
