The Black

Eleven years into the war, survival demands monstrous bargains: minds copied into warships, soldiers modified past recognition, alien biology grafted into human hulls. The squad fights as effectively as ever — and becomes something their own families no longer recognise. What does it mean to be human when you can duplicate yourself into a warship? The Black's darkest movement, where humanity wins by ceasing to be itself.

Book 1

Duplicate

There’s only one way to beat a perfect copy: become one. When humanity faces extinction from the alien Convergence, a desperate solution is found in captured alien tech. Commander Halloway volunteers to be the first—the first mind copied into a starship’s AI. But the transfer is too successful. When he meets himself, both man and machine begin to fracture. A single consciousness split between a human body and a warship, Admiral Halloway must confront a truth his makers never imagined: the enemy he’s fighting looks exactly like him.

Book 2

Fracture

To save humanity, they must duplicate it. But at what cost? The mass replication program is a lifeline in an unwinnable war, and it’s breaking. Thirty percent of the new consciousnesses fracture, turning their hosts into unpredictable, unstable threats. As Commander Vance leads Operation Cold Burn to a frozen moon, the line blurs between the soldiers who fight and the machines that command them. Fracture is the story of what happens when the answers to impossible questions arrive too late. The enemy is at the gate, and the war for the soul of humanity is already lost.

Book 3

Volunteers

Major Brekken stands on the bridge of the Intrepid, his voice grim as he briefs the first wave of Volunteers. These are not soldiers; they are pioneers, uploading their consciousnesses into hybrid bodies forged from alien technology. The risk is absolute—madness awaits the unprepared—but the alternative is annihilation. As a new Replicant fleet forms from the willing, their first victories prove devastatingly effective. Fighting with human intuition at machine speed, they strike at the alien fleet, turning the tide of the war. But for every adaptation humanity makes, the enemy devises a new cruelty, and the line between human and machine blurs with every battle. How many can survive before they become the monsters they fight?

Book 4

Conscription

Humanity’s last hope is built on a foundation of stolen lives. Sergeant Harlin’s red-level order forces his squad to the brutal front of Quadra-9, where High Command's new solution is a terrifying twist: the mass conscription of digital duplicates. As volunteers dwindle, the line between defender and war criminal dissolves. Harlin must lead modified soldiers, replicants with fractured minds, and those who are no longer sure what—or who—they are. The enemy is evolving, but the only weapon left is one that makes humanity question its own soul. To survive, they must embrace the monstrous, but at what cost to their humanity? The conscription has begun, and the cost of victory is a price no one can afford to pay.

Book 5

Hybrid

Humanity is losing. After a devastating ambush, Commander Brekken’s command is shattered, and hope is all but extinguished. But a breakthrough in Rim tech offers a desperate new path: the merging of human consciousness with true AI. No longer replicants or machines, but a new breed of soldier—a Hybrid. These fusions emerge with unexpected tactical synergies, turning the tide of war against overwhelming alien swarms. Now, with the first true Hybrids fighting, humanity’s counteroffensive begins. But when a mind merges with a machine, what is lost in the process? As the line between human and weapon blurs, a new threat emerges from within their own ranks.

Book 6

Swarm

Swarm descends. The Convergence unleashes a tide of hybrid ships, AI drones, and modified soldiers, an adaptive force that reclaims lost systems with terrifying speed. At Vespus, the alien Nemesis detects the towering anchor of their new power, a monolith that holds the key to their—or humanity’s—final gambit. This is the full fury of humanity’s fractured mind turned into a weapon, a chaotic swarm the aliens cannot comprehend. But every evolution has a cost, and every adaptation is a step further into the unknown. As the Nemesis bears down, the Convergence faces its ultimate test: victory at the cost of its own soul. The endgame begins.

Book 7

Reclamation

Admiral Vance’s voice crackles across the fleet: the final offensive to reclaim Earth has begun. As the combined forces of humanity’s surviving sectors descend upon the Sol system, the war reaches its bloody apex. They push the alien invaders back to the Kuiper Belt, liberating worlds long enslaved and technologies stolen. But freedom comes at a cost, for many freed humans are no longer who they were. The line between man and machine, sanity and madness, has been irrevocably blurred by alien experimentation. To save humanity, they must first answer the question: what does it even mean to be human anymore? The battle for the soul of their species is just beginning.

Book 8

Armistice

A fragile armistice gives humanity a respite, but Admiral Victoria Cross knows it’s just the quiet before the next storm. With their alien enemies in retreat, the victors fracture. Replicants demand rights, hybrids seek recognition, and conscripts demand justice. The fragile unity forged in war is now being tested in a fragile peace. Victoria must navigate a new battlefield of politics and personal conflict, forging a unified force for the fleets to come. But can humanity stand together when the peace that holds them is already cracking?
