Bernard Schaffer Books in Order

On the mining world of Seneca 6, a murdered sheriff, an outlaw son, and a crashed intergalactic marshal set the stage for a colony-wide showdown. It is a science fiction western packed with gangs, gunfighters, and frontier chaos.

This short nonfiction book takes on conspiracy theories about Freemasonry, the Illuminati, and secret plots to control the world. Schaffer approaches the subject with humor, skepticism, and a willingness to sort rumor from history.

Part memoir and part law-enforcement guide, this book examines police work through Schaffer's idea of the warrior spirit. He writes about service, fear, leadership, and how officers try to survive the job without losing themselves.

As Jack the Ripper terrorizes London's East End, a broken Sherlock Holmes must be drawn back into the fight. Watson and Irene Adler step into danger first, hoping to bring Holmes to one last stand against a ritualistic killer.

After a shooting leaves Frank O'Ryan with a wrecked knee and a growing dependence on painkillers, he is assigned to work with the department's most hated detective, Vic Ajax. Their cases expose the ugliest corners of suburban police work.

The fight for Seneca 6 keeps escalating as old grudges, frontier survival, and armed outsiders collide again. Schaffer doubles down on the series mix of colony-world science fiction and straight-up western gunplay.

Alana O'Neil discovers a tiny black dragon in her backyard and learns that a hidden mountain nearby holds an impossible secret. What begins as wonder quickly becomes an adventure involving a sorcerer, a warrior cat, and a dragon queen.

A struggling writer trying to raise his children and finish a book becomes obsessed with Sahily, a mysterious woman from Tenerife. The story blurs romance, self-invention, and the uneasy line between truth and storytelling.

Schaffer lays out a practical, plainspoken guide for writers trying to publish outside the traditional system. It is part pep talk, part warning, and part field manual built from mistakes he learned the hard way.

As Confederation's covert mission pushes deeper into danger, the crew faces the human cost of war and the secrets driving their command decisions. This installment raises the pressure before the wider space saga opens out.

This follow-up continues Schaffer's blunt look at policing from the inside, focusing on mindset, leadership, and the psychological cost of the job. It reads like field-tested advice from someone who has lived the work.
