GATEWAY BOOKS

GATEWAY (GATEWAY SERIES BOOK 1)

Major Tyler Stone stands at the precipice of greatness. After years of faithful service to the Republic, everything seems to be coming together—a promotion, an engagement to a beautiful (and powerful) woman, and the restoration of his traditional family name promise to restore his family to its long lost place among Alpha Humana’s elite.

But his world suddenly begins to crumble when deceit and defeat bring him face to face with the enemy—an enemy that turns his perception of the galaxy on its ear, challenging his understanding of his civilization and his own identity.

Now Stone must choose between duty and honor as he struggles to understand the nature of the war the Humani have been waging for so many generations.

SAINT (GATEWAY SERIES BOOK 2)

As the galaxy spirals into open warfare, Tyler Stone has joined forces with his former enemies, the Terillians.

Stone now knows the new war has been manufactured by the First Families to satisfy the Xen Empire’s demand for more slaves—a move necessitated by the spread of a deadly virus that is killing off huge portions of their human chattel. Complicating matters is the Saint, a con-man turned messiah who begins to unite the planets under his brand of religion—one that creates fanatical followers.

Stone must confront not only the enemy but challenges to his own identity while he and his companions battle to save millions from enslavement and death.

UPRISING (GATEWAY SERIES BOOK 3)

Tyler Stone has become the most hunted man in the known galaxy. Branded a traitor and reviled by the very people he hopes to save, he must find a way to be true to himself and his people while the combined might of the Xen Empire is focused on making a bloody example of him to any that would oppose their rule.

But he is not alone. Besides his lover–the fierce warrior Major Mori Skye–his former subordinate, Emily Martin, has realized the lie under which she had fought and killed and has joined forces with her former commander. Although she publicly leads the campaign to arrest him, Martin’s true mission is a clandestine plot to spark an uprising. But Astra Varus, the leader of the Humani, is as clever as she is ruthless. If Martin isn’t careful, her actions could not only betray Stone, but lead to her own death as well.

Despite the chaos surrounding him as galactic warfare consumes more and more planets, the greatest resistance Stone faces is from within as he prepares to lead the attack on his own homeworld: Alpha Humana itself.

SCHISM (GATEWAY SERIES BOOK 4)

The chaotic struggle for control of the known galaxy continues.
After the failed attempt to bring about revolution on Alpha Humana itself, the Akota turn their sights on the duplicitous Port Royal Association in order to remove the scheming power brokers from the board all together. As usual, Marshal Tyler Stone and his team find themselves in the center of the action.

But Stone and his team are in for a deadly surprise when a single warrior threatens to tear both alliances and friendships apart in her relentless quest to exact revenge in the name of the Humani leader, Astra Varus.

Even if they survive, everything will be different…

COLD PLANET (A GATEWAY UNIVERSE STORY)

The never-ending clandestine war between the Xen Empire and the Terillian Confederation continues and the Dark Zone is littered with the bodies of Guardsmen, Rangers, and those caught in between. It is into this wasteland that a unit of the Humani Elite Guard set out on a recon mission to investigate a planet they suspect contains an illegal Terillian base. The mission quickly falls apart and Lieutenant Emily Martin is thrust into command when her base ship, Draxius, is destroyed and her commander is severely injured. Stranded on an inhospitable planet with enemies all around them, Martin and her men find themselves outmatched and outgunned in a desperate gamble for survival. Lieutenant Emily Martin didn’t become the only female officer ever in the Elite Guard because she thought it would be easy, but this mission could easily prove to be her last.

RISE OF THE WOLF: KATALYA’S STORY (A GATEWAY UNIVERSE NOVELLA)

Not every story in the Gateway Universe is a soldier’s story. Young Katalya Skye’s world was torn apart when she was ripped from her family and sold into slavery in the Dark Zone. But she was a survivor and did what needed to be done to stay alive in a violent, unpredictable existence. Everything changes, however, when she unwillingly becomes part of a secret program directed by the Alpha Humana elite.
