Beyond All Weapons

Firstin Guide and a handful of colonists escape from the long reach of a tyrannical Earth government imposing its will on their Martian habitat. They escape on a starship and flee to a new planet to engineer their revenge—yet they do not take into account the irrefutable passage of time.

Chuck Lambert is taken advantage of by an unsavory real estate swindler of a galactic economy that sells unwary customers like him a planet where they can’t sit down, because there’s something the matter with its matter. But even though swindled, Chuck may just end up getting the last laugh.

Greed

Far in the future exist two Earth empires, separated by a weapon-projected wall of space and poised for war.

One Was Stubborn

When Pop digs deeper, he discovers a professor behind it all who, rather than inventing a means of blowing things up, is doing quite the opposite.  

When Shadows Fall

Earth faces her final days in the grip of environmental collapse far into the future. Desperate, Earth Grand President Mankin dispatches three separate missions in a last-ditch attempt to seek help from far-flung colonial civilizations—or face certain obliteration.
