Mark of the Beast Books

Exile – Mark of the Beast Book 3

Available now!

The Syndroid attack on the inner-planets in the Federation of Humanities has begun. The timing couldn’t be worse, with the Vessel from Earth about to make it’s first pilgrimage to Githsomae. Berto and the crew of the Sleipnir can’t help but think the two events are connected somehow.

Berto has had to fight tooth and nail to prove he’s worthy of being a knight in the Chevalier Sanctorum but now it’s looking like he’s joined the military faction on the eve of its death. Can he escape the crumbling Chevalier outpost in the depths of space to rescue the Earth Vessel? Or will he simply trade one hellscape for another?

Tribulation – Mark of the Beast Book 2

Everything is wrong.

Well, nearly everything. The crew of Sleipnir did escape the Syndroids with a Vessel in tow, and Berto’s ability was key. Only, that same ability has cast doubt into the minds of the crew. Even Berto can’t be sure he’s not unconsciously working for the enemy. Once they get to the Chevalier Sanctorum outpost, he’ll have to prove himself. Prove he’s not puppet of the Syndroids. And prove he has what it takes to join the ranks and be named a Chevalier.

When he was promised revenge, this was not what he had in mind.

Exodus – Mark of the Beast Book 1

An eons-long galactic war pitting man against machine. A federation of worlds that upends every notion of the novelty of humanity. A military institution struggling to hold it all together. And a mental ability that might save life itself. Roberto Reed’s childhood was marred by tragedy yet he overcame his past only to become sick of the corporate life and hungry for adventure. When another tragedy thrusts Berto into a war and life he doesn’t understand, he receives more than he bargained for. He might be the key to winning the war, but can he trust the two women who’ve recruited him?

Can he trust himself?
