Exile

Crusade Audiobook Now Available

The audiobook for Crusade, book 3 in the Exile Trilogy is available now on Audible.

Here’s more about the book:

A newborn Alliance, forged to stop the destroyers of worlds
A potential ally, with secrets hidden by a thousand lies
A long-doomed star, whose ruins hold a vital answer

Isaac Lestroud, Admiral of the Exilium Space Fleet, has spent the last three years working with Ambassador Amelie Lestroud to build an alliance against the Rogue Matrices, AIs bent on converting every world into a paradise—regardless of whether anyone lives on it.

As Isaac hunts the Rogue that destroyed one of their allies’ homeworlds, Amelie begins negotiations with a potential new ally that could tip the balance. The Governance is a power to rival the human homeworlds the Lestrouds were exiled from—but like those homeworlds, not all is as it seems.

And far from the war, Octavio Catalan leads an expedition into the shattered wreckage of the home system of the Matrices’ builders. Among those dead worlds, he hopes to find the answer to the question that haunts the survivors of that race: why did their AIs go genocidally insane?

Read an Excerpt of Crusade, the Final Book in the Exile Trilogy

CHAPTER 1

“Get ThreeHeart on the com,” Admiral Isaac Lestroud barked. “We need those cruisers in closer, coordinating their fire with Oohoon’s ships.”

The small black man’s words were only half of his order. As Captain Aloysius Connor calmly took over control of the flag deck’s communications system, Isaac’s hands were flying through the three-dimensional representation of his fleet.

Lord of Seven Stars ThreeHeart was the commander of the Skree-Skree portion of his fleet. Those eight strike cruisers weren’t going to make or break this battle, but they’d be a lot more effective if the Skree-Skree ships were supporting Oohoon’s two battlecruisers.

Isaac finished positioning the icons in his hologram and flipped them to his operations officer.

“I’ve got it,” Connor replied. “The Vistans are holding their flank just fine. It’s our new friends who are stepping on each other’s tails.”

Continue Listening to the Exile Adventure with the Refuge Audiobook, Now Available

Refuge, book 2 in the Exile series, is now available in audiobook format on Audible. Podium Publishing worked hard to produce this one, which includes the same narrator as Exile, JD Jackson.

In case you were waiting for audio, here is the cover copy:

A dying world, shattered by a broken machine

A desperate flight, their only hope for refuge

A robotic race, ally and destroyer alike

The Republic of Exilium has grown in strength and confidence at the far end of the galaxy from the rest of mankind, sending out scout ships to survey the worlds around them as they try to learn more about the mysterious Construction Matrix AIs.

Finding one of the genocidal rogues of that mysterious “race” in the process of destroying an inhabited world, Captain Octavio Catalan takes his ship into a desperate battle. He is victorious—but he is too late. The world of the strange aliens he has encountered is doomed.

The distant Republic can barely help, but the honor of their leaders will not permit them to stand idly by. Ships and crews are set into motion to commence a desperate evacuation of their newfound friends, and debts with the strange Matrices are called in.

One branch of Matrices destroyed the planet. Another may well save it—but the AIs have their own agenda and the price they ask may be beyond the Republic and its new allies…
