Free Novel

While this page is entitled “Free Novel,” that’s actually a total lie: by coming here, you can get two free novels!

I’m offering both First Contact (In Her Name: The Last War, Book 1) and Empire (In Her Name: Redemption, Book 1) completely free as ebooks. No strings attached. You don’t even have to cough up your email address or join my newsletter to get them.

Both of these books have been on Amazon’s bestseller lists, and readers actually seem to like them: as I write this, Empire has 161 reviews on Amazon and an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars, while First Contact has 36 reader reviews and a standing of 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon. And these books are now both free to you!

Why am I doing this, giving away two bestsellers for free? Because I want to get you hooked on my books by giving you more than just a ten or twenty percent sample of a book by an author you’ve probably never heard of before.

I’m pretty confident that by the time you finish First Contact and Empire, you’re going to want to read the rest of the books in the series, and hopefully my other books, as well.

So, grab them and get reading! And if you enjoy these books, please do me a huge favor and tell your friends on Twitter, Facebook, the lunch room, feel free to send them copies, etc. My best advertising is word of mouth from happy readers!

First Contact (In Her Name: The Last War, Book 1)

Begin your adventure into the IN HER NAME universe with First Contact:

Young Midshipman Ichiro Sato joined the Terran Navy to escape a tyrannical father and find freedom among the stars. He had no idea when he boarded the survey starship Aurora for his first assignment that he and his crew would make humanity’s first contact with a sentient alien species. In an uncharted star system where Aurora’s crew discovers two planets inhabited by a non-human civilization, Aurora is disabled by gigantic alien starships before she can escape. Boarded by nightmarish blue-skinned warriors with claws and fangs, the aliens learn all there is to know about the ship, including all its stored information about humanity, before the crew is slaughtered in a series of ritual combats. Ichiro, the sole survivor, is returned to Earth as a messenger to warn of the aliens’ coming invasion of human space.

For that is the Way of the Kreelan Empire, an ancient and dying race that has waged war across the galaxy for a hundred thousand years, slaughtering every sentient species it has encountered in a desperate search for the One, a savior foretold in an ages-old prophecy who can rescue them from looming extinction. For the Kreelans, who will die out in a handful of generations, the conflict with humanity will be The Last War.

With Earth leading a fragile coalition of military forces to mount a defense against what many believe is nothing more than a hoax, Ichiro again finds himself at the sharp end of the spear aboard a Terran destroyer. Together with journalist Stephanie Guillaume, Legionnaire Roland Mills, and the irrepressible General James Sparks, Ichiro and the other men and women of the coalition put their lives on the line against an enemy none of them could ever have imagined.

Empire (In Her Name: Redemption, Book 1)

Once you finish First Contact and the other books of The Last War trilogy, continue the tale with Empire, which begins the Redemption trilogy:

Reza Gard is a young boy of the Human Confederation, swept up in the century-long war with the alien Kreelan Empire. Nightmarish female warriors with blue skin, fangs, and razor sharp talons, the Kreelans have technology that is millennia beyond that of the Confederation, yet they seek out close combat with sword and claw, fighting and dying to honor their god-like Empress.

Captured and enslaved, Reza must live like his enemies in a grand experiment to see if humans have souls, and if one may be the key to unlocking an ages old curse upon the Kreelan race. Enduring the brutal conditions of Kreelan life, Reza and a young warrior named Esah-Zhurah find themselves bound together by fate and a prophecy foretold millennia before they were born.
