Book 1: An Empire in Peril

The book that started it all. What started as a high school writing project at 16 became a self-published book in 2017.

In 2024, it was re-released at the Seattle Center A/NT Gallery, in the same complex as the Space Needle. In December 2025, it achieved Amazon Bestseller status for the first time, briefly ranking #4 in Space Fleet Science Fiction and #12 in Space Opera.

In the far future of an alternate universe, the 19th Century New Imperialism never ended. Empires have fallen, emerged, and evolved, reaching across hundreds of worlds. It was an extravagant, ruthless era of discovery and expansion, until the First Contact.

The rest of the known galaxy has been taken over by a rogue alien artificial intelligence. Human Space is, as far as we know, the last corner yet to be conquered. A frantic, desperate plan was devised, a final gamble to win it all, and an old tape documentary of it is all that has made it into our universe.

Book 2: The Great Decline

The Great Decline was released in 2024 alongside the re-release of An Empire in Peril. It provides a significantly more thoughtful exploration of the universe's implications, and widens the scope of the threat.

Two years after the Human-Dominion War's end, a new discovery threatens to reignite it. Deep beneath countless worlds lie the frozen survivors of a once vastly more powerful civilization, slumbering in unimaginable, nigh-infinite numbers. The Aradynics believe that when they awaken, they will be the ultimate allies in their crusade to organize all life under artificial intelligence.

But studying the collapse of the ancient, galaxy-ruling civilization reveals a greater threat than war. Societal decay and entropy appear to be an unavoidable final chapter in every great empire. Can humankind defy the odds? The Great Decline blends espionage, action, and existential dread into an exploration of the ultimate fate of life in the universe.
