The Aether: Orchard is the story of how it all began: Beto's arrival on Tura Prime with nothing but his father's plan and a hunger he didn't have words for yet, the deal struck over a stack of stakes that would bind two families to the same thousand acres for generations, and the blood orange rows that would one day be the only home a Navy family ever really had.It's also the story of three teenagers — Grohl, Spike, and Ellara — thrown together in a Navy Aether program tha...

The Admiral's Daughter follows Erin from seven years old — motherless, aboard the Ebon Fang, raised by a grieving Aetherarch father and the uncle who has spent his whole life being the steady hand at Grohl's shoulder — through nine years of growing up in a Navy that fast-tracks her the way it fast-tracks anyone gifted enough to be useful. A precocious midshipman with a blade in each hand and no patience for firearms. A senator's son with a habit of not reseating what he o...

The Aether: At EaseGrohl and Spike are finally home. Thirty-one years aboard the Ebon Fang, and now — retirement. Slow mornings. A desk that isn't his. An estate that doesn't need saving. It should feel like peace.It doesn't, not entirely. Because two power points just vanished from the Republic's most decorated warship, and forty years of Skorrn doctrine says a fleet without them is a fleet worth testing again.Fleet Intelligence has fourte...

Someone from the life she can barely remember living knows exactly who she used to be, and they're willing to spend soldiers to prove it. At the same time, a formal oversight inquiry is quietly reopening the case no one was supposed to reopen: the training-field assassination that should have ended her at sixteen, and the officers — a Senator, an Admiral, a Colonel with a very tidy paper trail — who made sure it was never properly investigated the first time.As the hearing peels ba...

Fenrir, hunter class, faster than anything the fleet has ever put a crew on — and Erin barely has time to learn her name before the ship, and the testimony sealed inside her chain of custody, becomes the one thing standing between a corruption case years in the making and the powerful men trying to bury it a second time.A rear admiral with everything to lose has taken a cruiser group dark and is running an illegal picket sweep with one objective: make sure Fenrir ...

She calls herself Myst, because it's the only word that fits the nothing she's made of. What she carries instead of a past: a sword she somehow knows how to use, a uniform that means something she can't name, and a pull — quiet, constant, directional — toward a place and a person she has never consciously met.On the streets of Verath, she finds a sister in Kyra, a fellow survivor with nothing and no one, and the two of them build a life out of scraps and loyalty while that pull kee...

Christians generally know that God created " the heavens and the earth" and made human beings in his image. They know that " the earth is the Lord' s and the fullness thereof" — he owns his creations. They know that skilled people create and own marvelous works. But a disconnect often occurs when it comes to God' s communicable attributes of creativity and ownership and that combination' s role in human innovation, technological progress, and practical benefits from human creativity and ow...
