Peacemaker Wars Would you choose to live an ordinary life. . . or embrace a destiny among the stars? In a single act of courage, a young American soldier named Mark Tudor saves an interstellar soldier from certain death at the hands of a vicious killer. Afterwards, she promises to show him the Galaxy, but only if he leaves his old life behind. Mark must fly far away from the only home he's ever known, towards a life not so different from that of a humble soldier. Out among the asteroids, he learns of swords and honor, starships and empires. He learns what it means to be a Peacemaker. Along the way, he’s joined by Perry, his combat AI companion who helps him survive—and earn a living—among the stars. And to his surprise, his first mission is far from simple, and it may prove to be his last. Mark's new enemy is smart and deadly, but they are highly specialized in one specific thing: killing Peacemakers. And they're very good at what they do. Dive into a brand new adventure set in the bestselling Backyard Starship Universe and see where it all began. If you're a fan of Backyard Starship, Renegade Star, or classic science fiction, this is the series for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/4f7e27bf-da9e-48df-a958-88a8b804866c/Peacemaker+Wars2.jpg Books -

Backyard Starship For Van and his crew, danger is no longer just among the stars. On earth, the Fafnir has drawn the attention of the most dangerous predator known to humanity— Bureaucrats. Between human enemies and alien allies, Van finds himself on the edge of a powerful change in his career. From the depths of his own family history, an old enemy returns with plans for power at any cost. Just as his grandfather did fifty years earlier, Van will meet and challenge the threat of an ancient empire that spans deserts and stars and time. This enemy will force Van’s hand as he confronts a question at the heart of who is is—what does it mean to be alive, and who controls your life? But there’s more than just war and crime. There might be a wedding, and there will be cheese, and Funboy has a growing career as a television personality in the Midwest, but only if he can wear a tuxedo, of course. Join Van and the crew as they find that friendship never dies, and neither does greed—at least, not around the Guild. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/880ac196-21c1-447e-8bd8-e2523465d21e/distant-warning.jpg Books - Backyard Starship In a clandestine meeting on earth, Van learns a critical bit of family history when he meets his secret benefactor. From the halls of power in Washington to the vastness of space, the Guild moves closer to outright war as shifting alliances force everyone—including Van—to pick a side, take up arms, and fight. But there are ghosts our there in the black, and some of them carry secrets that Mark Tudor and Petyr Groshenko refused to reveal. In the expanse of his memory, Perry finds an ancient ship, and an even older war—and neither of those things have truly gone away. Faced with power and responsibility unlike anything he can imagine, Van Tudor is about to learn a fact that few people have ever known-- The universe looks different when you’re wearing a Master’s badge. And those who don’t have one just might want you dead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/311bb72c-4fd4-42aa-9fe6-0f56f16599fe/gone-nova.jpg Books - Backyard Starship Van is proving that with power comes danger. From the shores of a secret planet to the halls of power in Washington, Van navigates a complex web of lies, law, and politics, all so that Earth can be saved from the clutches of ruthless criminals. But these people aren’t from Earth. In fact, they’re not even human, and they see Earth as a ripe fruit, ready to be picked. That doesn’t work for Van and his crew, so he begins fighting back with the dirtiest tactics of all: diplomacy. Since the aliens are among us, and they want money and power, Perry and Miryam will unleash their skills to craft a plan that uses Van, Icky, and Funboy to stop the exploitation of Earth cold, for the enemies are led by a new player in the galactic order. The Tsarina. She’s cruel, she’s heavily armed, and she’s coming for Earth—with a ship that can match anything the Guild has. With enemies at the door, Van finds out that Masters can fail, and secrets are hard to keep, and the Earth is worth saving. At any cost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/e593f24c-d25d-46ad-9220-eea67f66b659/point-of-impact.jpg Books - Backyard Starship Awash with conflict and a building war, the known stars align against Van and his wing of the Guild in a fight for the ultimate control. But Van and his crew suspect there’s more to the Equal Grasp than just a band of thieves, and they begin their campaign at Bopul Station, a lonely outpost where corruption rules and Peacemakers are feared. To continue the fight, and the case, the crew and friends need more than just contacts. They need money. To that end, Van begins exploring an old mystery about his grandfather, which leads to the shocking discovery—the Earth is being stripped of her history, one object at a time, but that’s not the main purpose of the criminals. For their goals are bigger than just stealing art. Much bigger. One of their targets is nothing less than the end of the Fafnir, and Van, and everything he represents. Along the way, Icky learns about motherhood, and Funboy learns about grief, and everyone agrees that cheese is good and pants are bad— --sort of. There’s a time and place for everything. And Van will lead his crew for as long as he can. If he can stay alive. And that’s a pretty big if. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/0a98733a-5af0-4d7f-a079-6d4ed08d588d/hand-of-fate.jpg Books - Backyard Starship For the first time ever, Van has to deliver the remains of fallen comrades. At the Starsmith, he’s presented with an opportunity to change the face of the war, even as Torina and Van begin planning for the ultimate shift in their galaxy: Parenthood. But first, the crew must prepare for an unexpected gift-- a new, unknown fleet of ships, uncrewed and hidden deep out in the black. There’s just one problem. They have the ships, but they need pilots and a secret base to create their fleet. For that job, they’ll need an ally of unparalleled strength. The Schegith Protectorate. With friends, and a little time, Van and his AI friends create a plan so bold it will take them into the heart of Yotov’s web—and far from anyone who can help them. Earth hangs in the balance, and the fight for humanity’s future will take place among the stars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/77a65080-65d7-4e6c-b78a-a813f53198a6/bright-red-line.jpg Books - Backyard Starship When a running battle brings the Fafnir home to earth, it ends with the death of a trusted friend—and a new focus on what comes next for Van and his crew. The Guild is rotten. It must be changed. It must be healed. But to do that, Van will have to marshal resources on a scale he's never considered, and that means calling in favors from friends. With the Schegith fleet in training, and the Conoku itching to get back into the fight, Van has a clear plan for what he has to do—which is the one thing he doesn't want to do. The time for war is here. The time for change is now. A new leader is needed, and Van will discover if he can take control of Yotov's criminal empire—and save the victims across known space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/20b338f9-0798-4951-97c7-2ee0ea8f791e/killing-stroke.jpg Books - Backyard Starship The stars have come to Iowa, and the earth will never be the same. With the Nexus up and running, Van and crew become interstellar players in the fight for earth, but their enemies aren't just from out in the black. Sensing massive profits, the scramble to exploit humanity pits Van against his own people—and Yotov, whose plans have finally come to fruition. With political warfare, the Equal Grasp seeks to do what missiles cannot—remove Van from the picture. But he's a lot tougher than that, and Icky's hammer is swinging freely, and the crew are international stars, portrayed as the heroes of a world that reaches beyond the sky—into deepest space and beyond. With one last throw of the dice, Yotov will unleash the hidden reserve of power she's been hiding. If it works, Van will be dead. Or worse. Because Yotov and the Equal Grasp don't just want power. They want control of life itself, and they'll stop at nothing to get it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/76d1d013-d7f7-4fdf-ae9a-6222904d4f10/the-enemy-within.jpg Books - Backyard Starship The final enemy has been revealed, and it's more insidious than Van could ever imagine, spanning space and time with the patience of immortality—and an utter disregard for all forms of life. On the run and broken, the Equal Grasp faces elimination on earth and everywhere else, their leader gone, their mission a shambles, and with new agents of justice hard on their heels. But the fight isn't over. In fact, it's just begun, and Van knows that every decision he's made for the past decade will come to bear on who lives, and who dies— And who is meant to rule over a universe where freedom and justice are the ultimate pursuit. At any cost, Van and his crew will finish the job, but they're going to need a lot of help from people and beings who have been observers. Until now. The time for watching is over. The time for victory is now. But the cost might be more than anyone can pay, and Van is no longer merely an agent of justice. He's a father, a husband, and a friend—and he's going to need every connection in the stars to defeat the ultimate enemy and save his people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/47a2eea0-052f-482b-a7b5-a89374f8fd9c/fist-of-orion.jpg Books - Backyard Starship It's all come down to this. A war for control of all civilization, pitting organic life against an ancient evil that knows no fear, no kindness, and no limits. Calamity is loose, and it's been busy learning—from its time with Netty to running wild among the stars, the ultimate evil seeks nothing less than complete dominion over all space and time. And for Calamity, life is in the way. Van and his crew will enlist old friends, new friends, and the very beings he sought to protect from his first days as a rookie Peacemaker, fighting for the dignity of those who had no voices during the dark years of a corrupt guild. It all comes down to this. And one way or another—it all ends here. From the fields of Iowa to deepest space, the final conflict will unfold with only one thing certain: Not everyone will survive, but Van will give his last breath to make certain that when future generations speak his name, they will always remember one fact. Until the end, he gave it all for justice, no matter the cost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/095fdacb-3091-49fb-b748-33cbc94b7247/wolves-among-the-stars.jpg Books - Backyard Starship After two decades of learning at the Nexus, the children of Van and his crew are ready to take their first steps out in the big black. Aboard their new ship, the AnaDarko, the young officers begin unraveling a mystery that goes beyond the depths of time—where did Gabby’s people come from, and why does life, scattered across the gas giants, all sound so familiar to her? Under the capable guidance of Rab, a seasoned Peacemaker, the young crew pursues science and knowledge—even as Van and Torina push back against a threat that originates on earth itself. Politics is a dirty business, and with Constance Plowitz’ retirement, the scramble for control of earth’s future falls in the hands of someone who sees the Fist of Orion not as a partner— —but an enemy. But Van is two decades older, and wiser, and the crew, along with Perry and Funboy and Icky—are that much better at their specialty—dispensing justice. There are old friends, new faces, and a power struggle whose roots go back to when known space was young, empires were old, and war was the answer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/6460a6c6-79f7-421a-80d9-e12c129066a3/forged-in-stillness.jpg Books - Backyard Starship Reformed, repackaged, and re-engineered, the Stillness reveal that they never went away. They merely waited. Watching. Planning. And those plans will collide with the rising stars of an empire based on justice and action. Out in the deep black, Abel Tudor and his crew will fight to prove that command isn't given, it's earned—and their parents chose well, giving them the helm to a warship that could change history with one fateful journey. But they have allies who are proven veterans of a galaxy gone mad with violence. Van, Torina, and the crew aren’t retiring—they’re reloading, and with the Fafnir and crew come something the Stillness have never faced before. Van Tudor, the commander of it all. He’s older, wiser, and unwavering in his commitment to justice, but now, he’s got decades of experience in the trenches with his friends, family, and allies who share his vision for freedom and peace—at any cost. Along the way, Van, Abel, and their teams will meet old friends, new enemies, and discover that space isn't just crowded— It can be lethal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/11e99c24-2495-4a6f-8649-9d19693c8f99/forged-in-stillness.jpg Books - Backyard Starship Everything old. . . is new again. With the Stillness and their Wulgor allies growing in power, Van and the Fist of Orion reach a crossroads of epic proportions. Who will lead the charge for justice—will it be Van and his trusted friends, or will the former GKU demand a seat at the table in a universe where nothing is ever settled, and old grudges don't die—they just linger? But old problems require new solutions, and Van sees the need for soldiers as an opportunity. From the growing ranks of the Shrikes, elite young leaders emerge, ready to answer the call when the Fist of Orion decides that sometimes, the best defense is a good offense. Teamed with the AnaDarko crew, the newest Peacemakers will begin using science as a tool—taking the fight to the Stillness wherever they are. But that means risk, and risk means conflict, and there's nothing messier than a family brawl when it comes to purging the stars of an ancient evil. Join Van and his crew as he learns that leading is harder than it looks, and sometimes, being true to yourself is the toughest fight of them all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/ecf2b340-0a2b-4e3f-86a7-5072bee93151/splinter-faction.jpg Books - Backyard Starship Money and power. Van knows it makes the stars go around, but in the wrong hands, it can lead to disaster. Armed with new ships, new fighters, and an iron will, he'll lead the Fist of Orion to one last fight against an ancient enemy—the Stillness. For three generations, the Tudors have battled an organization dedicated to power at any cost, but as the war heats up, the Stillness have partnered with a race who regard humanity as more than an enemy. Humans are. . . an opportunity. It's going to take more than ships and guns to beat the Stillness—the job requires money. Lots and lots of money. But the Fist has a friend in the banking industry, and with Dayna, and Tor, and Kay, earth will enter a second kind of war. A war to control the economy of the stars. Using their new comms, their old ways, and their own grit, the crew of the Fafnir enter a final desperate battle to keep Earth free from tyranny— -- If they can convince the leaders of Earth to play fair. It's a tall order, but Van is used to big jobs, and this time, he's not playing defense. For the Fist, it's time. . . to attack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a29d9bc527a84752a6f2de/69d0a2d5-3695-4fa5-8ab9-a4aaaacabd6e/BYSS+Birds+of+Prey.jpg Books - Backyard Starship Birds of Prey (Backyard Starship Book 30)
