Books in the Human Space Series
In Rise of the Coalition, humanity’s rival superstates face a new political force as smaller worlds unite under a fragile alliance that threatens to change the balance of power. In Unity Protocol, that alliance is tested when alien forces approach, and humanity must decide whether it can truly stand together—or fall apart when it matters most.
The Forging of Trust
Book 0.5
Before the Coalition, there was only fragile trust.
In a divided political world, young leader Thomas Jane must unite rivals who would rather betray each other than cooperate.
Every choice risks failure—and every mistake helps shape the future of human space.
Rise of the Coalition
Book 1
As smaller systems begin to unite, the great powers of human space grow uneasy. Spies move, alliances crack, and war looms.
Thomas Jane wants peace, not dominance - but his rising Coalition becomes the prize everyone wants or the threat everyone must destroy.
As fleets gather and assassinations ignite old rivalries, humanity must decide what this new power truly is: a dream of peace, or the start of a new war.
Unity Protocol
Book 2
Humanity believes the war is over. It is wrong.
Strange signals and a growing dark zone point to a new threat. While politics stall, a peaceful alien intelligence - the Orbs - warn of a coming storm they cannot stop.
As another, hostile force advances, humanity’s survival will depend on one thing: unity.
In a future where humanity is divided among powerful superstates, a quiet political shift begins to unsettle the balance of power. As smaller systems start aligning into a new coalition, the giants of human space grow uneasy—watching, spying, and preparing for conflict. Thomas Jane, an idealistic but reluctant leader, finds himself at the center of this transformation. He doesn’t seek war or dominance—only a better way to govern. But ambition attracts enemies. Assassinations, betrayals, and secret alliances ignite old rivalries, and the fragile peace between great powers begins to fracture. As fleets mobilize and refugees flee systems on the brink of war, forces no one fully understands begin moving in the shadows. The newborn Coalition must decide what it truly is: a dream of peace—or the first spark of a war that will reshape humanity.
