A Haunted Spaceship, a Desperate Family, and a Vampire Go to Space...

Captain Ruby Harlow and her father get a killer deal on a pre-owned spaceship with a dark past. Determined to leave a dying earth for the final frontier, she and her wife overlook the ship’s lousy attitude, quirky decisions, and nasty bat infestation. Their troubles escalate when a bloody ghost begins tormenting their brand-new fembot while the rest of the crew remains oblivious to the haunting. Despite mysterious problems with the ship, the captain leads a glorious launch.

Later, with the entire crew frozen in cryo, the malfunctioning spaceship strays off course, then suddenly wakes everyone too soon. Trapped without the possibility of returning to hypersleep, Ruby and her crew face the chilling realization that their journey will stretch across many years, with only a mysterious comet as their potential destination.

It was supposed to be a fun adventure, but the bloody ghost, snarky fembot, and creepy doctor are just too much for Bob. Back on Earth, Ruby’s father was already having adjustment problems. He’d been a popsicle too long and thawed to discover a world that left him behind. It does’t help that his daughter married a woman while he was frozen—lesbians! How is he supposed to handle that? After being frozen and thawed, again, the endless isolation of deep space starts taking its toll on his poor, old brain. After a seizure, Bob becomes increasingly hostile and paranoid. Consumed by grandiose delusions, he’s convinced that the ship’s doctor is none other than Dracula himself. It sounds crazy, but he might be right, and proving it will push him to the brink of madness.

In Space, No One Can Hear You Slay!
(It Might Get Gay... Yeah, It’s Gonna Get Gay)

Is the lesbian captain really trapped in space with bloodthirsty vampires?
Was Bob chosen by God to be the vampire slayer?
Or will stay hidden in the closet with his inner demons, becoming the monster he fears most?

CEO Sean Davis's personal log:

So here's the short of it. I knew Earth had advanced civilizations before us, but my research team found far more than I imagined in Antarctica. I'm scared now. We're alive because of a clerical error. Earth's Human population is ILLEGAL, and if the aliens who built this pyramid come back and realize their abandoned colony is still inhabited, they're going to exterminate us.

And I still can't wrap my head around the fact that these aliens are the Dinosaurs! All this time, the answer was right in front of us. Human slaves to a Dinosaur Empire...and genetically enhanced Humans to boot. Unfortunately that's where any chance of them letting us live disappears. Even if most are dormant, the psionics encoded in our DNA are so advanced they carry with them the death sentence for any unauthorized reproduction. And the entire Human race on Earth falls into that category.

But if the Dinosaurs stay away like they have been, we still have a chance. The database in the pyramid...or really I should call it a battle fort...has so much scientific knowledge it's beyond us. I intend to use the most basic principles to get filthy rich...and then use that money to put together an organization to do the impossible. We have to grow Humanity into an interstellar empire if we have any hope of running. We have NO CHANCE of survival if we stay here. They're just too powerful, and with over a million planets in their V'kit'no'sat Empire, I wonder sometimes if it's even worth the effort to try.

However, there is no way I'm going to squander this opportunity. Our odds may be infinitesimally low, but we've got their playbook, their blueprints, their maps, their history...and one big space cannon if we ever figure out how to unlock it. We have to colonize space and fight a galactic empire sometime in the future. How do we even do that?

I've got a lot to do in the coming weeks. Calls to be made. But politics cannot be involved and I can't reveal this to the public. I'm gonna have to hide the pyramid, and use the money I make to build a brand new corporation to begin Humanity's rise to the stars. And to lead it...we're going to have to be very picky. We're going to have to find the best of the best, and I have no idea how to do that or much of anything else right now. Hence calls to be made to specialists who know how to keep their mouth shut.

I do know one thing. What I'm going to call this new spin-off corporation. That's a no brainer. We have to assemble a force to take us to the stars and fight an enemy beyond imagining.

Hence it will be called STAR FORCE.

There, I've got that done at least. As for what follows, only time will tell. It's 3 am here in Antarctica, and I know I need to sleep, but I just can't. The idea of a T-rex ripping you apart with its teeth is bad enough, but to know they can do it with their telekinesis alone...nope, not getting any sleep I fear. I guess I might as well start making those calls now...

A ship full of worlds...

For John Bandicut, Earth is but a memory. Having saved Earth from destruction, he is exiled to the edge of the galaxy—where he finds an unimaginably vast structure, peopled by refugees from countless doomed planets. Magellan-fish. Shadow-people. He faces a world of uncertainties.

Bandicut and his two robots must find their own way. But they are not long alone; others share a similar fate. With newfound alien companions Ik and Li-Jared—and the beautiful humanoid woman, Antares—Bandicut becomes caught up in a struggle to save another world: Shipworld itself.

The foe this time is not a rogue comet but a malicious AI dubbed the boojum. From the floor of a star-spanner factory, to the galactic melting-pot cities of Shipworld, to the frightening Tree of Ice, where control of Shipworld is centered, the boojum threatens to tear Shipworld apart. And it will likely succeed, if the new band of unlikely heroes can’t find a way to stop it.

This second volume of The Chaos Chronicles continues the headlong tumble through the worlds of fascinating aliens and believable characters that are a hallmark of Nebula-nominated Jeffrey A. Carver.

(DRM-free ebook edition. Also available as part of the omnibus collection, The Chaos
Chronicles: Books 1-3.)

In order to survive, Interceptor must change the rules.

The Consortium is in real trouble. Caliphate Naval forces have stepped up their raids on the border planets and are taking people by the thousands. They can defend the wormhole, or they can defend their planets, not both.

Only the Alliance can help them, but will they?

With the cold war heating up, the Alliance is forced to send light units to help. Lucky for them, the squadron of destroyers they free up includes Commander Jacob T. Grimm.
With Nadia off on a secret mission, and most of his officers reassigned, Jacob must face a new challenge— taking his ship into battle with wet behind the ear ensigns and midships.

From fires in the galley, to surprise attacks, the war is about to start in earnest. Interceptor can be the first casualty, or a sole survivor. For Interceptor to survive, the rest of her squadron must die.

Can Jacob find a way to save his squadron and warn the Alliance? Or will one final sacrifice be required?

From USA Today bestselling author Jeffery H. Haskell comes book four in the military science fiction epic in the tradition of Honor Harrington and Star Trek. If you love heroes and ships you will want to suit up and help the Interceptor as she makes A Grimm Sacrifice.

You’re in the Navy now!
