John G Hemry Books in Order

America invades the Moon for its resources, and Sergeant Ethan Stark is told to make impossible orders work. As the campaign turns deadly and stupid, survival starts depending on which commands he obeys and which he refuses.

Now leading rebel U.S. forces on the Moon, Ethan Stark has to hold together soldiers, civilians, and a fragile new order. Earth, corporate interests, and the media all want a say in how his mutiny ends.

Stark's rebellion has survived long enough to become a larger threat. As outside forces close in and loyalties fray, he must keep the Moon from sliding into a final, ruinous war.

Fresh from the academy, Ensign Paul Sinclair becomes legal officer aboard the USS Michaelson just as its captain faces court-martial. Defending the truth may cost Sinclair his future before his career has really begun.

A deadly explosion aboard the Michaelson looks simple until Paul Sinclair starts pulling at the evidence. The deeper he digs, the more it looks like someone powerful wants the truth buried.

A hijacked asteroid and an international naval standoff wreck Paul Sinclair's hopes for quiet shore duty. When he suspects the Michaelson's rules of engagement have been compromised, he is pushed into a covert hunt for a traitor.

Paul Sinclair faces another case where shipboard duty, uncertain proof, and command politics refuse to line up neatly. On the Michaelson, getting at the truth can be as dangerous as any outside enemy.

A century after he was lost in battle, John Black Jack Geary wakes to find himself turned into a legend. Then he is handed command of a shattered Alliance fleet trapped deep in enemy space.

The road home is still long, and the Syndics are starting to learn how Geary fights. As the fleet strains under exhaustion and fear, Black Jack has to win without letting his command crack.

Geary keeps the battered Alliance fleet moving through Syndic space, but every success costs ships, fuel, and trust. Old habits, rival officers, and relentless pressure make survival a daily calculation.

Low on munitions and scarred by losses, Geary risks a dangerous offensive instead of a safe retreat. One bad call could leave the Alliance fleet stranded in enemy territory for good.

Geary drives toward home while juggling damaged ships, prisoners, and hints that the human war is not the only threat out there. Victory keeps getting more complicated the closer it seems.

The fleet is finally within reach of Alliance space, but the last leg may be the most dangerous. Geary has to beat the Syndics, protect his people, and face what victory will demand of him.

Peace has not made the Alliance safer. As unrest spreads and alien threats emerge, Geary is sent on a new mission that could prevent another war, or ignite one.

Far beyond human space, Geary's fleet is thrown into an alien trap and forced to fight its way clear. Damaged ships, uncertain allies, and enemies stranger than the Syndics leave no easy options.

On Midway, former Syndicate leaders Gwen Iceni and Artur Drakon turn against the regime that made them. To survive, they must turn a brutal outpost into the beginning of something freer.

This collection gathers short stories about the problems humanity may face as it pushes farther into space. The tone shifts from story to story, but discovery, danger, and consequence stay at the center.

This story collection circles around time, change, and the price of second chances. The settings vary, but Hemry's taste for sharp dilemmas and human stakes stays constant.

This military science fiction anthology cuts loose a set of war stories about combat, sacrifice, and survival under pressure. It is built for readers who want action, stakes, and a range of voices.

Geary tries to bring home a battered fleet, dangerous intelligence, and an alien warship while trouble waits on every side. Far from Alliance space, one wrong encounter could restart a larger conflict.

Iceni and Drakon try to hold Midway together while enemies inside and outside their young state close in. Freedom looks possible, but the old Syndicate way of doing things is hard to kill.

Three novellas open side doors into Hemry's fiction, moving between science fiction and fantasy adventure. It is a compact way to sample his worlds without committing to a full-length series.

In an alternate nineteenth-century America ruled by Southern military power, Professor Joshua Chamberlain is sentenced for opposing the state. A daring rescue of Abraham Lincoln becomes the spark for a revolution.

Midway's new government faces sabotage, mistrust, and pressure from stronger powers on every side. Iceni and Drakon need quick successes before their rebellion tears itself apart.

Back in Alliance space, Geary finds that politics, fear, and competing agendas may be as dangerous as any alien foe. The frontier crisis has come home with him.

On Dematr, young Mechanic Mari and young Mage Alain discover that both of their guilds have lied to them for years. Hunted and outmatched, they may be the only people who can stop a world-ending storm.

When autonomous dark ships devastate a star system, Geary leads a hard pursuit into deep space. Stopping them means confronting the Alliance's own disastrous faith in machine war.

Trapped by enemies and hunted across Dematr, Mari and Alain keep chasing the hidden history behind their world. To save it, they must outlast barbarians, legions, and the killers sent to erase them.

Mari and Alain escape one death trap only to learn that both their guilds want them dead. Their best hope lies in the sealed, ruined city of Marandur and the truths buried there.

This anthology looks at the uneasy partnership between people and technology in war and crisis. The stories explore what machines can do for us, and what they may cost us in return.

More star systems rally to Midway, but alien movement and human betrayal threaten everything Iceni and Drakon are building. The new order could collapse before it is secure.

This anthology samples the Defending the Future line through stories about war, strategy, technology, and the people asked to bear their costs. It is a good snapshot of the series' big-picture, defense-minded science fiction.

Mari and Alain head toward the broken kingdom where their world's storm first appeared. To have any chance against the guilds, they will need raids, battles, and an alliance no one thought possible.

Mari now leads an army, but stopping Dematr's coming disaster will take more than force. She and Alain must break through the heart of their enemies' power before the storm consumes everything.

Liam is perfectly happy being an only child until the sister he never had suddenly appears at school with a sword and a quest. Before long he is in another world facing dragons, unicorns, and very strange family logic.

The Great Guilds and the Empire gather their full strength against Dorcastle in the final showdown. Mari and Alain may be able to save Dematr, but the prophecy promises no safe ending.

The Empire wants revenge, and Kira is its most important target. Kidnapped and hunted, she must escape, master dangerous abilities, and help build an alliance before Dematr falls back into war.

Years after Mari and Alain changed Dematr, their daughter Kira grows up in the long shadow of their fame. Then a ship from Urth arrives, and Kira learns her world still needs heroes.

In the early days of interstellar colonization, the world of Glenlyon is forced to defend itself with almost nothing. Young Rob Geary and former Marine Mele Darcy become central to a fight that could shape humanity's future.

Years after Glenlyon's first defense, Rob Geary and Mele Darcy face blockade, invasion, and a risky mission to safeguard diplomacy. One bold move may be the only way to keep several colonies free.

Ancient weapons lie hidden beneath Pacta Servanda, and every faction wants them. Kira has to survive rogue attacks and her own unraveling powers before Dematr's future is decided by the wrong hands.

This shorter fantasy piece leans into eerie folklore and sudden supernatural danger. It is a quick, moody story built around the unsettling feeling that old legends may be closer than they should be.

This anthology gathers military science fiction stories about ships, soldiers, and civilians caught where danger and duty meet. The common thread is simple: once events go bad, everybody has to decide how far they will go.

Glenlyon has learned that standing alone is not enough, but helping its neighbors has made it a target. Rob Geary, Mele Darcy, Carmen Ochoa, and Lochan Nakamura race to keep a young coalition alive.

Now captain of her own pirate ship, Jules faces assassins, imperial pursuit, and guild schemes on every side. To survive, she starts playing the world's three great powers against one another.

Trapped inside the Empire and hunted by both legions and mages, Jules has to fight her way back toward freedom. Then she must unite the free settlements for a final battle that could save or break them.

Jules of Landfall is marked by a prophecy that makes her useful to emperors, mages, and mechanics alike. Rather than live inside their plans, she escapes to sea and joins a pirate crew.

No battle plan survives contact with reality, and this anthology builds its whole premise around that truth. The stories look at strategy, failure, improvisation, and the people stuck living with the results.

After exposing dark secrets inside the Alliance, Geary is sent on a perilous mission beyond settled space. Escorting diplomats and scientists soon means facing suspicious human powers and dangers that only get worse.

Geary's far-flung mission becomes even riskier when survivors from a crippled ship bring a story that does not quite fit. Spies, assassins, and hostile aliens close in before he can sort truth from trap.

Farther from explored space than any human force has gone, Geary faces hostile factions, fragile diplomacy, and alien powers with far better technology. The hardest choice may come when his own orders cross a line he cannot accept.

Lieutenant Selene Genji watches Earth die, then is thrown forty years into the past with one chance to stop that future. Prejudice, first contact, and a world on the brink make her mission brutally hard.

This Lost Fleet collection brings together four previously published short stories and the new novella Corsair. It is a handy way to see earlier corners of the universe and how key people first entered the fight.

Selene Genji knows Earth will be destroyed if history stays on course, but changing it may get her killed first. With only Lieutenant Kayl Owen beside her, she fights to save a world that does not trust her.
