The Future Possible Saga
In the early years of the 21st century, a race of aliens made First Contact with the governments of Earth, claiming to be our ancestors. They want to be our benefactors.
They look Human in all aspects. They speak our languages. On every biological level, they are us. They make promises of Utopia on Earth, to cure our diseases, to wipe out poverty and inequality, and to share with us scientific advancements we haven't begun to imagine.
Desperate for a better world, a better life, we fall for it.
There is a small portion of Earth's people who don't believe the promises of perfection. They are Phoenix, a dissident group of rebels determined to find the truth and expose the alien benefactors for who they truly are. Whatever that truth may be.
Now, in the mid-21st century, Phoenix is a global organization with operatives in every part of society, from medicine to government to science. They are close now to the truth. So close, the visitors from the stars want them stopped
Book One: Revolution
Decades have passed since first contact with Earth's 'alien benefactors,' and the Areth have infiltrated every part of Earth society: government, medicine, all levels of science, even religion. Earth and Humanity have been irrevocably changed. Some say the Areth are our salvation, others say they are our doom. Phoenix works in secret as a global rebellion to seek out and bring to light the truth behind their Utopian claims.
Retired Earth Force Colonel Nicholas Tanner doesn't care. He gave up caring years ago. More than once, the Areth have cost him everything he holds dear. His wife. His son. A second chance at a life worth living, and they destroyed it. They could rot in hell as far as he was concerned.
Then Dr. Caitlin Montgomery, the woman he has never been able to forget, finds him in his solitude and, with two short sentences, changes everything.
His name is Michael Tanner. Your son.
His son Michael – the child he was told died at birth twenty-five years before – is alive, a prisoner of those thought to be Earth's future, and needs him. Nick will do whatever it takes to bring Michael home. He'll join the cause. He'll fight the fight. He'll lay down his life if that's what it takes. Even if it seems impossible.
Book Two: Outcasts
Something dark and sinister haunts Victor's thoughts, threatening to steal his sanity. Turning his own mind against him. He doesn't understand it, has no true name for it. He only knows the malicious darkness in his mind he calls his demon wants him dead for his treachery in helping the Humans. Now, Victor is at the mercy of Phoenix and their mission to be free of the very enemy Victor represents. Only in the empathic presence of Beverly Surimoto does he find some fraction of peace. She silences the demon . . . most of the time.
Beverly Surimoto was born to, raised, and educated in the world of Phoenix as the child of some of the first founders of the rebellion group. To be associated so closely with the enemy could undermine her authority and perhaps everything Phoenix has built, but she senses deception like some smell flowers. There is no deception in Victor, only confusion and fear. Phoenix exists to end fear and find the truth, so how can she deny him safe haven even when he wears the name of the enemy?
The mask is ripped away, the face of the enemy is revealed, and Earth is plunged into a war it isn't prepared to fight… and unequipped to win. There may be allies somewhere far beyond the edge of Earth's system, but will the messenger sent to find help survive the voyage? There is no way to know who will be found: allies, or even worse enemies.
Book Three: Gaining Ground
Doctor Lilly Quinn was left a widow when her husband died on the mission that brought Michael Tanner home. The mission that set into motion the revelation of the Areth's true face. She had to reconcile herself with raising their baby alone.
A miracle brought Jace back . . . at least his body, though weak and brutalized. His heart, his mind, is still trapped somewhere in the darkness of an enemy cell where he was left to die. He has no memory of who he is, what Phoenix represents, or why he went AWOL from Earth Force to join. He doesn't remember what his mission was the night he was captured, where he has been, and worst of all he has no memory of his wife.
Somehow Lilly has to find a way to knock down the walls holding Jace back from remembering his life. His purpose. And her. She knows it's selfish, but she needs him to remember her.
All the while their oppressors are on the hunt . . . led by one of the most heinous minds of their race, and they want revenge because Phoenix dared defy them. The enemy is at the gate, and it is time for Phoenix to prepare for battle. Revelations, mind-boggling truths, and surprise allies clash together to set Earth on the road to destruction or salvation. No one knows what is to come.
Book Four: End Game
Colonel Nick Tanner set out months ago in search of the Umani, possibly Earth's only hope for salvation. Finding them brought revelations he struggles to accept, and now he's on his way home. Earth isn’t the same. Not by a long shot. Lies beget more lies in his absence, until the truth is almost too extreme to believe.
Michael Tanner has struggled since his rescue to find his place in his new world. He questions his past, his existence, and the man he will be. Logically, he understands he is free to think, speak, and do whatever he chooses, and to learn. He has found a family. Every day is a stark juxtaposition to the first twenty-five years of his existence.
Jacqueline Anderson is a soldier, raised with a hatred for the Areth. Her father questioned the lies from the beginning, and before his death, asked Phoenix to protect her. They taught her how to protect herself. She challenges Michael, moves him, and confuses him. She wants more from him than he knows how to give. She wants to understand the haunting shadows behind his eyes… and the scars that mark his body.
The battle to survive comes to a crescendo, and Michael will finally discover the man he is meant to be. The enemy is now clear, and there is no turning back. It's time to take back Earth. There is no other choice.
Book Five: Janus
It's been a year since Humanity rose up against their alien oppressors and took back Earth from the Sorracchi. The war left Earth devastated, crippled, but not beaten. Under the leadership of President Nick Tanner and in collaboration with their new Areth and Umani allies, the Earth seeks stable ground again.
John Smith of the Areth was a soldier before his queen asked him to serve as ambassador to Earth, and is out of his element. Restricted in his position from carrying a weapon, he has no way of defending himself or his adopted son when the Xenos -- a group of Humans wishing to purge the Earth of all alien influence -- decide they want him dead.
Jenifer is a soldier for hire, and answers to no one but her own common sense. She first refused the "job" of serving as John's bodyguard, but a glimpse at the heart of the man convinces her to accept the responsibility.
John has two faces: a soldier and an ambassador of peace. Jenifer has two faces: the steel-skinned warrior and the forgotten person she once was. Too many people hide behind masks, and it's those hiding who want John dead.
Book Six: Triad
Alpha. Beta. Omega. The Triadic.
They were created by the sickest, most twisted mind of all the Sorracchi to be super-soldiers, mindless, emotionless, A-moral killing machines – but something went wrong. Compassion, affection, and curiosity are born in the human psyche and if it is strong enough it cannot be denied. But it can be punished. The Triadic were placed in stasis for nearly a decade until their "teacher" could figure out how to fix them and strip them of their human hearts.
Before the War Katrina Bauer had spent her life tucked away from the world, hiding her intelligence and her skills to avoid the seeking eyes of the enemy. Now in Alexandria, working with men like Victor, Michael Tanner, and an elite scientific team reporting directly to President Nicholas Tanner, she and her brother Karl have found purpose and a sort of family.
In the dead of night she is snatched away and now must find a way to teach three powerful, frightening men they no longer need to live as slaves. The leader, the soldier, and the balance. They are lynchpins to each other. As their personalities are allowed to emerge, one will grow to be a man Katrina no longer fears, but might even love.
Book Seven: Stasis
Lieutenant Commander Connor Montgomery's trust in his own judgment is gone, wiped out with the betrayal by the one person he trusted above all others.

His niece Nicole has been taken by the Xenos, by order of the most heinous and evil leaders of the Sorracchi race, and Connor will do whatever it takes to find her and bring her home safe.
In the hours and days following the war, the Sorracchi hid and fled however they could, including snatching people out of their lives to create new husks and hide behind unknown faces. Evelyn woke in a world she didn't recognize, and no memory of the last year beyond her name. They call her an "Emancipated", a human freed from the possession of a Sorracchi conscience, but the people in charge of her care will tell her little else.
When the memories come, they are dark and sickening, and she can only pray they are not her own. To save the life of a stolen child, Evelyn must face the crimes her hands committed and gain the trust of a man with no trust left. Not even for himself.
