A wonderful story!!! (Praise for Book 1)
This is a terrific sci fi novel. The characters are well imagined and fleshed out. The plot is rather unique and full of both action and emotions. D D Hart has hit a homerun with this one and I can hardly wait for the sequel.

Goes farther than I expected (Praise for Book 2 - Concluding the series)
Worth coming back for the second book. Solves issues in Hvar and then moves on to much wider terrain. Great battles and bold ideas.
(Verified Amazon Review)

Man thought himself alone in the universe – he was wrong.

Now, halfway across the galaxy, he finds a human enclave – yet how is that possible?

It is not. It can not be. Humanity emerged on earth. We climbed and fought our way out of the primordial slime. There cannot be another "us" – can there?

The damaged starship Cochise is forced down on the planet it was about to survey for colonization, plunging the crew into a world that appears locked in an earth-like Middle-Ages and a first contact crisis.

Sucked into violence, passion, intrigue and a brutal war that threatens to trap the crew forever, with their tech resources used or stripped away they must break every first contact rule to survive. Demons, super warriors, prophecy, treachery and death awaits as they stumble across the true origins of mankind.

This knowledge, this one truth must return home, must get to Earth - no matter what the cost.

Planetfall is the first instalment in The Origins Saga, which concludes in Redemption Wars. If you like exciting space opera, crammed with action, space exploration, alien technology, mystery and the clash of cultures, then you will love this complete, epic, world-building space adventure, that spans the known galaxy, uncovering the deepest of secrets buried in time.

A message from the stars offers humanity an escape from our harsh origins deep within a region known as "Cruel Space" by the rest of the galaxy. Earth's nations unite to construct the Dauntless—Earth's first interstellar craft. Its mission: to journey to the world of Centris and establish formal contact with the enigmatic Galactic Council. Unsure of what to expect from the wider galaxy, each crewman was trained to be a peerless warrior, armed to the teeth and ready to fight for all humanity.

However, what they encounter was far from their expectations. Instead of monstrous beings, they find a galaxy dominated by... Women. Humanity's nearly equal ratio of male to female births is an anomaly. In a society where females far outnumber males, opportunities abound, from unimaginable wealth, to incredible danger, on worlds where immortality is a lifestyle choice and love is available on a scale beyond human comprehension.

On this grand cosmic stage steps Jerry Bridger with a secret mission of his own—to transport a vital piece of Earth's legacy to the stars for the future of humanity. As he navigates through amorous pirates and perilous naval engagements, Jerry will fight like hell while forming bonds in the most unexpected of places, all to forge a future in the stars.

Of Dog, Volpir and Man; a story of spacefaring adventure, high technology and higher hemlines!

Early Reviews:

"I can't believe I'm on 3 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours because of this story."

"Oh are you done reading and ready to be a human again?"
- Paddy's Wife, Mildly Irate Spouse of Reader

"It's like Star Trek had a baby with an unpublished Tom Clancy scifi novel, then some mad man spliced in a harem romance from the mirror universe where everyone's a mature, sensible adult and actually trying to make a multi-member marriage work for the betterment and happiness of everyone involved. It's weird. I like it!"

Physics doesn’t negotiate. Neither does she.

Twelve years ago, a Polish colony found an alien warship in a debris field. Now every superpower in human space wants what they reverse-engineered.

On the frontier, Polonia Prime is a small, underfunded nation with one unforgivable advantage: hybrid alien drive and weapons technology that can rewrite every fleet doctrine in the Hyades Cluster.

Lieutenant Commander Maria Roszak earned her command through tactical competence, not bloodline or politics. Her destroyer B?yskawica is a relic on the outside, retrofitted inside with forbidden Bubble-drive systems, railgun batteries, and point-defense grids that skate the edge of physics. When a Zenith Caliphate carrier strike group crosses the border to seize Polonia’s secrets, Maria finds herself outnumbered, outgunned—and no longer sure her own side is playing straight.

Every time the enemy finds her faster than they should, suspicion grows. If she’s right about a leak in her own chain of command, exposing it could destroy her career and her ship long before the Caliphate does. To keep her crew alive and her nation independent, Maria must turn debris fields into weapons, doctrine into a disadvantage, and an obsolete destroyer into the sharpest blade in Polonia’s arsenal.

In a battlespace where Newtonian recoil, delta-v budgets, and railgun kinetics decide who lives, one captain’s brain is the only shield her people have left.

For readers who love:

Hard-science military space opera with real-physics combat (Bubble-drive micro-jumps, railguns, missiles, point defense, no magic)
Underdog nations, carrier strike groups, and destroyer-captain tactics under political pressure
Competent female officers, gritty tone, and respect for military professionalism
Series like The Lost Fleet and The Expanse, where brains matter more than bigger guns

Earth is the target. Aliens are coming. One man holds the key to saving humanity. Doctor Aaron Howe’s discovery of a curious black box in the Canadian tundra marks the beginning of this exciting, galaxy-spanning adventure. Traveling through time to find the link between General Washington’s brutal enemies and his own—he must battle not only vicious killers from 1776, but also prepare for an alien attack that could destroy all humans. Howe's probability of success is low, but he will be helped by a mysterious, galaxy-traveling AI named Allison who has her own hidden agenda. Add to their assets, Mercy Smythe, a nanite-enhanced war widow bent on delivering revenge and justice. Plus, Recon, a handful of courageous and rowdy Revolutionary War soldiers—well, together, they just might survive long enough to save the Earth.

ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN. OR MAKE ONE UP REALLY QUICKLY.

Slim Taggart has stolen plenty of things in his short life. That's what happens when you come from a family of planet-hopping thieves.

But when he somehow finds himself in possession of a shard from an ancient alien tech known as the Emberling, things start getting hotter than he likes.

Before Taggart knows it, a half-dozen criminal syndicates are on his tail, desperate for the powerful payload.

And that's before he manages to take aboard a motley crew of characters who each openly admit they'd kill for it, too.

Luckily, Taggart has a plan. He always does.

He just hasn't quite figured out what it is yet...

Exiled is the first book in the Emberling series, an action-packed carnival ride of a space opera that will leave you breathless.

Note: This is an homage to classic pulp sci-fi. If you're looking for hard sci-fi, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for adventures on alien planets with even more alien creatures, this is the series for you!
