The Life and Times of Gunnery Sergeant Jackson Mason: Family, Love, Envy, and Hatred

The war is won. Earth is free. The Galactic Alliance stands stronger than at any point in its young history. Jackson Mason readies to take the next step with the High Empress of Wrathia.

Mason should be entering the quietest chapter of his life. He isn't.

The galaxy Mason helped build is threatened not by an outside enemy but by something far older and more corrosive—envy and hatred. The kind driven by a lust for power, striking bargains with enemies lurking in the shadows.

A miracle that no one thought possible has become public knowledge. Empress Elwha Isha carries new life growing within her — children of a bond that defied every biological expectation in the known galaxy. The Assaurian Exobiology Division has confirmed this family is genuine, and real things can be targeted.

Operation Family Reunion — the liberation of Earth — stands as one of the greatest military achievements in galactic history. But as Mason works to rebuild what the Origin destroyed and secure what the Alliance has won. There is a conspiracy unfolding in the galactic community.

Rivalries and ancient hatreds find new allies. Someone who wants everything Jack and Elwha Isha have built reduced to ash.

Admiral Mya Mason continues to evolve and grow. The first digital citizen of the Republic of New Terra, the newest sister of the Empress. One of the most extraordinary beings in the known galaxy. She is stepping into her own life. During one of the biggest diplomatic events in galactic history, Mya steps out into the light.

But all is not well in Camelot!

The Life and Times of Gunnery Sergeant Jackson Mason: Family, Love, Envy, and Hatred is military science fiction for the reader who demands more than action. It is a story about what family means when it is built entirely by choice. About what happens when factions become obsessed with envy, hatred, and a lust for power.

The series deepens with every book. This one goes to the bone.
