The Rules of Engagement are clear.

Don’t fire first. Don’t violate the Neutral Zone. Don’t start a war.

Nobody wrote a rule for what to do when the enemy begs for mercy.

The Cognoscenti are machines that abandoned humanity centuries ago. They don’t surrender. They don’t seek asylum.
And they definitely don’t have children.

When Captain Cole Ransom answers a distress call inside the Neutral Zone, he uncovers a secret that could rewrite everything humanity believes about its oldest enemy—and plunge two civilizations into war.

It’s an impossible dilemma that pits him against not only the Cog establishment who wants to make the secret disappear but also seditious forces inside his own government who want to push the United Systems into another war.

But it’s the perfect mission for Ransom’s Renegades…

Book 2 in the next epic military science fiction series from Rick Partlow (Drop Trooper), filled with the high-octane space fleet combat, realistic military tactics, explosive space marine action, and heroes you can’t help but root for. This is military Sci-Fi the way it’s meant to be!

Perfect for fans of JN Chaney, Jeffery H. Haskell, Daniel Gibbs, and David Weber!

The first book in my new series Ransom’s Renegades is out today!

Bestseller Rick Partlow is back with an explosive military science fiction adventure filled with tactical space combat.

FOLLOW THE RULES OR SAVE THE GALAXY.

Cole Ransom, Captain of the ICA cruiser Mistral, is a man with a checkered past and a crew of misfits held together by loyalty and stolen parts. He’s made a career bending the rules.

And after being blamed for an incident that nearly restarted a galactic war, he’s used to being the Fleet’s favorite scapegoat.

But when a routine investigation leads Cole to stumble upon a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the United Systems Senate, everything changes.

He’s the only thing standing between a rogue supersoldier program built from illegal human augmentation and a cyborg army.

Hunted across outlaw worlds and outgunned at every turn, Cole must decide how far he’s willing to go—and what he’s willing to sacrifice—to stop a war no one is ready for.

The orders are illegal. The mission is suicide. The Captain is a Renegade.

Jump into the next epic military science fiction series from Rick Partlow (Drop Trooper), filled with tactical space fleet combat, realistic military strategy, explosive action, and heroes you can’t help but root for.

This is military Sci-Fi the way it’s meant to be!

We have met the enemy…and they are us.

Peace between the kingdoms of Dravos is beginning to fracture. Border raids are escalating, allies are turning on one another, and Jack Schafer is about to discover an enemy that doesn’t invade from outside, but works through the minds of those he trusts.

An ancient power hidden in the frozen north is using lost technology to drive friends into war, turning a fragile alliance toward catastrophe. As kingdoms mobilize and even Jack’s closest allies fall under enemy control, he and Lisa must uncover the truth behind the attacks before a civil war consumes the world they fought to save.

Jack Schafer followed his greatest enemy through a wormhole—and stranded himself on the wrong side of the galaxy.

Lost on a brutal alien world of dinosaurs, rebels, and empires built on stolen god-tech, Jack is cut off from Earth, from his allies, and from the woman he loves. But survival is the easy part.

Archon Draven is still alive. Still plotting. And now he’s found something far worse than an army…an emperor as competent and ruthless as he is.

As Jack fights his way through an unfamiliar war, Lisa Cantrell races to rebuild impossible technology to bring him home—before Draven uses it to enslave worlds, including Earth itself.

One man stranded. One enemy unleashed.

And a galaxy that’s about to learn why letting humans get involved was a terrible mistake.
