The Return of the Emperor: Sten 6
With Allan Cole
The sixth book in the action-packed SF adventure series..
The Eternal Emperor was dead, and the five members of the Privy Council ruled in his place. But they quickly discovered that their power would collapse around them if they could not locate the Emperor’s secret source of anti-Matter Two, the economic keystone of the Empire. And so they sent a team of crack commandos to capture Sten, one of their late ruler’s few surviving confidantes.
But Sten – as usual – had his own agenda. For he knew something about the Eternal Emperor that would shake the Empire down to its foundations. And to play his part, all Sten had to do was kill the five most powerful beings in the universe.

Revenge of the Damned: Sten 5
With Allan Cole
The fifth book in the action-packed SF adventure series..
Sten had fully expected to die in a blaze of glory, taking the Emperor’s greatest foe with him. Instead he was a slave labourer in a P.O.W.’ camp deep in the heart of enemy territory.
But sitting out the action had never bees Sten’s style. And now that the war was building to a climax, the Eternal Emperor needed him more than ever. Not even the toughest prison in the known universe can keep Sten from his mission…

Corsair
The kingdom of Saros trembles on the brink of war. Raiders harry the coast, burning villages and enslaving their inhabitants, while in the capital the King Alfieri keeps a fearful truce with the ambassador of the Linyati Empire.
After his village is ravaged by pirates and his parents slain, Gareth Radnor moves to the great city of Ticao, where he is to begin a new life working for his uncle as a clerk. But the boredom of office work is stifling, and before long his high spirits land him in serious trouble. For his own good, Gareth’s uncle sends him away on one of his merchant ships.
For Gareth it is a chance to see the world. But even he could not have dreamed of the adventures he will have.

The Empire Stone
According to legend, the Empire Stone was larger than a fist and could light a man’s path in the dead of night. Fashioned by the gods – or maybe demons – it could bring awesome power and untold riches to anyone who possessed it. But it was lost when the city of Thyone was destroyed, and now its secret powers lie buried in the past.
The Year of the Mouse has begun badly for Peirol of the Moorlands. Having fallen in with Koosh Begee and his gang of tricksters, he’s fallen to gambling. And he’s lost. Peirol soon realises that he’s been trapped, and Begee – never one to let his debtors off the hook easily – forces him to recover a long-lost gem from a ruined temple.
And so begins an incredible adventure which will take Peirol across oceans and strange lands full of danger, mystery and magic. He will face terrifying creatures and ruthless warlords, great armies and wild sorcerers, in search of his destiny – and the fabled Empire Stone.

The Court of a Thousand Suns: Sten 3
With Allan Cole
The third book in the action-packed SF adventure series..
Sten had fought his way up from slave labour on a factory world to commander of the Eternal Emperor’s bodyguard, the Imperial Gurkhas.
But during his first three months on Prime world, the most dangerous weapons Sten had encountered were the well-phrased lies of Court politicians. It seemed no place for an honest fighting man. But when a bomb destroys a local bar, Sten discovers the danger and corruption behind Court intrigue. Only quick work by Sten, Alex Kilgour, and a tough female detective can keep the Empire together and the Emperor alive.
