TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 9
Coming January 2026 to a bookstore near you! Blue casually swiped through the messages, but straightened up abruptly when she saw the last one was from her grandfather. She honestly hadn’t expected to hear anything further from the old man, who was notoriously reclusive and somewhat of a luddite when it came to using technology. … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 9

CHAPTER ONE The Hotshot LAUNCH TERMINAL DIACRIA, MARS PRIMUS If everything had gone to plan, Lieutenant Astra Eliassen would never have joined the Legion.

(Another short one, but that's because it's the end of the prologue. ~Jason) Coming January 2026 Four men from the group rushed in to attack.

(A short snippet today ~Jason) Coming January 2026 With Corporal Jeffe leading the way, the trio of enlisted exited the building and stood in front of the door in the warm, poisonous rain of Myrkyma.

“Yes, sir!” Sergeant Buckholz grinned from ear to ear. “Jeffe, Aires? You heard the captain. Suit up. I’ll get on the horn with Klysgaard.” “Come with me, Recruit Tavi.” The captain turned and walked towards the three flags on the poles behind Sergeant Buckholz’s desk. Unsure, Diego followed, and stopped a few feet away from … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 4

Coming January 2026 from Baen Books “Good.” Sergeant Buckholz leaned forward, and his voice changed subtly. “This isn’t an easy life, Diego. We go where the Protectorate needs us to go. We’ve had peace for many years, which is why most people think they want to join. Free education, land, money, glory . . . whatever drives kids these … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 3
