Nine hundred thousand years ago, something annihilated the Amarantin civilization just as it was on the verge of discovering space flight. Now one scientist, Dan Sylveste, will stop at nothing to solve the Amarantin riddle before ancient history repeats itself.
With no other resources at his disposal, Sylveste forges a dangerous alliance with the cyborg crew of the starship Nostalgia for Infinity. But as he closes in on the secret, a killer closes in on him. Because the Amarantin were destroyed for a reason, and if that reason is uncovered, the universe, and reality itself, could be irrecoverably altered...

The once utopian Chasm City, a doomed human settlement on an otherwise inhospitable planet,
has been overrun by a virus known as the Melding Plague, capable of infecting any body, organic or computerized.
Now, with the entire city corrupted,from the people to the very buildings they inhabit, only the most wretched sort of existence remains. For security operative Tanner Mirabel, it is the landscape of nightmares through which he searches for a low life postmortal killer.
But the stakes are raised when his search brings him face to face with a centuries old atrocity that history would rather forget.
-[2002] Redemption Ark: 27:19:19
Late in the twenty-sixth century, the human race has advanced enough to accidentally trigger the Inhibitors, alien killing machines designed to detect intelligent life and destroy it.
The only hope for humanity lies in the recovery of a secret cache of doomsday weapons, and a renegade named Clavain who is determined to find them. But other factions want the weapons for their own purposes, and the weapons themselves have another agenda altogether...
-[2003] Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days: 6:59:01
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into interstellar space...
Now experience the phenomenal imagination and breathtaking vision of the most exciting space opera writer working today in these two tales of high adventure set in the same universe as his novels.
The title story, 'Diamond Dogs', tells of a group of mercenaries trying to unravel the mystery of a particularly inhospitable alien tower on a distant world.
'Turquoise Days' is about Naqi, who has devoted her life to studying the alien Pattern Jugglers.
-[2003] Absolution Gap: 27:11:22
The Inhibitors were designed to eliminate any life form reaching a certain level of intelligence, and they've targeted humanity.
War veteran Clavain and a ragtag group of refugees have fled into hiding. Their leadership is faltering, and their situation is growing more desperate. But their little colony has just received an unexpected visitor: an avenging angel with the power to lead mankind to safety, or draw down its darkest enemy.
And as she leads them to an apparently insignificant moon light years away, it begins to dawn to Clavain and his companions that to beat the enemy, it may be necessary to forge an alliance with something much worse...

-[2007] The Prefect: 19:41:41
Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a policeman of sorts, and one of the best. His force is Panoply, and his beat is the multi-faceted utopian society of the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone.
These days, his job is his life.
A murderous attack against a Glitter Band habitat is nasty, but it looks to be an open-and-shut case, until Dreyfus starts looking under some stones that some very powerful people would really rather stayed unturned.
What he uncovers is far more serious than mere gruesome murder...
