Jonathan Yanez (Apryl Baker) Books in Order

This entry brings together work connected to Apryl Baker and Jonathan Yanez, whose collaboration reaches into science fiction adventure. Their shared stories use a bigger canvas than Baker's usual paranormal settings, with military characters, alien threats, strange worlds, and high-pressure choices.

The best-known connection is the Gateway to the Galaxy: The Invasion trilogy. It begins when a planned alien attack reaches Earth and forces a small group of Marines into a fight far beyond anything they expected. The series is built for readers who like squad dynamics, fast action, and a threat that grows with every book.

The gateway changes the scale of the war.

Baker's interest in close relationships and characters under stress works well with Yanez's action-forward science fiction. The collaboration keeps the story centered on people who have to make decisions quickly, protect one another, and keep moving even when they are outmatched. The result is less about abstract space politics and more about survival.

The books share an ongoing conflict, so sequence matters. The Invasion introduces Sergeant AJ Cole, his brother Remmy, and the enemy forces pressing toward Earth. Stand Your Ground sends the fight outward, while Fight Back brings the larger prophecy and final conflict into sharper focus.

These are team stories.

Readers who know Apryl Baker mainly through ghosts, witches, or paranormal romance may be surprised by this branch of her work. The emotional throughline is still familiar, though: loyalty matters, family matters, and the people who seem least prepared may become essential when everything falls apart.

Start with The Invasion and read through the trilogy in order. It is a compact collaboration line, so it works well as a break between longer series. Expect military science fiction, alien invasion stakes, and a group of characters who refuse to make Earth an easy target.
