The Aternien invasion of the Union has begun, but Master Commander Carter Rose is still without a functional warship, or a full crew. He needs both if he’s to stand any chance of thwarting the god king’s plans.

Frustrated by his inability to act, Rose takes matters into his owns hands, and travels to the occupied planet of Terra 6 to find his Master Operator, a key member of his crew, now at grave risk.

But there is far more to the invasion that Rose has been led to believe. The Aterniens have a new bioweapon, and Terra 6 is their testing ground.

However, the thousands of Aternien Immortals laying siege to the planet aren’t Rose’s only problem. The Acolytes of Aternus are looking for him, led by Damien Morrow, a former Master Commander who turned his coat and joined the Aternien cause.

Can Rose find his crewman and stop the bioweapon before it’s too late? Once again, the fates of millions rests in his superhuman hands.

Enemy Within is book #2 of the Aternien Wars series, an epic blend of space opera and militaristic sci-fi following an elite crew of augmented officers fighting a post-human enemy styled on the myths of ancient Egypt.

Wow. Loved this book. This book is an escape...a fabulous, very entertaining escape. I could hardly put it down." - Amazon Reviewer.

One PTSD-riddled former Marine.
Two beautiful women.
Airplanes and aliens.
What could go wrong?

Jim Carter is a PTSD-riddled former Marine with a secret-he has a broken-down, sentient starship hidden in his airplane hangar. He expected to get found out, of course. Eventually. But by a hot-as-blazes female test pilot? When love finds Jim at last, it hits him big-time. For a change, things are breaking his way.

But Jim and Bonnie’s new love affair gets complicated when the sentient starship decides to create a clone to help them: Rita - a beautiful woman with the knowledge, emotions and feelings of both Jim and Bonnie embedded in her brain, and madly in love with both of them.

Suddenly the three are confronted by the worst scenario possible: everybody wants the starship, including the Americans, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Singheko - alien slavers coming for Humanity.

Before Jim knows what’s happening, he is captured and tortured for the secrets of the starship, while Bonnie and Rita escape to Mars to decide what to do next. But one thing they do know – somehow, they have to fight off the Singheko, rescue Jim, and fly the starship to the nearest friendly star nation to seek help for Earth.

And the stakes if they fail? Not much - just the enslavement of Earth!

Heather Texle launches with a thrilling, non-stop, action-packed novel that is a blend of space opera adventure and sci-fi murder mystery that won the 2023 Minnesota Author Project contest in Adult Fiction. If you enjoy books with a strong female lead, a sass-talking spaceship’s computer, an annoyingly hot detective who won’t give up, and more action scenes that you can shoot a blaster at, then this book is for you!

When the Department trained me to catch criminals, I never dreamed I’d become one.

Agent. Suspect. Intergalactic fugitive.

I was one of them until I shot my partner in self-defense. Even though the Department cleared me of wrongdoing, my co-workers didn’t agree. They turned their backs on me, so I turned my back on them.

My partner’s actions never made sense. After ignoring my gut for a year, I asked my tech-genius best friend to dig into it. Now Jarrett’s gone dark, and I soon discover he’d been brutally murdered. An officer finds me standing over the body, blaster in hand. Even I admit it looks bad.

There’s no way I can trust the Department to investigate further—not if I'm already the prime suspect. My only option is to run. Is it impulsive? Sure. Will having law enforcement dog me across the galaxy make life difficult? Most certainly. I’ll have to stay one step ahead of them if I want to solve Jarrett’s murder and clear my name.

Doing that will require every trick the Department taught me—and a few I learned on my own.

Click the BUY NOW button at the top to find out what mystery Jarrett uncovered and to what extreme Reliance will go to in order to bring her friend’s killer to justice.
