Rise of the Empire Books in Order

In 2081, a discovery beneath the ocean gives Tomas Klein the means to accelerate humanity’s journey into space. As Earth recovers from nuclear war, orphan Adrian Farkas receives a chance to help shape a future beyond the planet.

Olympus divides its limited resources between fighting the Sowir and helping liberate an enslaved Earth. While resistance fighters risk exposure, Adrian Farkas seeks an alliance with the Nel government that could determine the outcome of the wider war.

Decades after leaving the Solar System, the growing Empire detects a hostile force near its borders. Emperor Tomas Klein and clan leader Adrian Farkas prepare for war as new technologies and uneasy relationships with other races complicate their plans.

As the Empire advances against the Sowir Dominion, Adrian Farkas discovers abilities and knowledge hidden within humanity’s genetic inheritance. Learning to use them becomes urgent when threats beyond the expanding frontier endanger everything the Empire has gained.

Adrian Farkas prepares the defenses of Sol against the Shara Daim, another race descended from humanity’s ancient ancestor. Their legions seek a device left by Axull Darr, bringing the Empire into a confrontation over its inherited knowledge.

The Empire’s alliance invades Erasi territory but struggles against the enemy’s size and industrial strength. As a devastating experimental weapon threatens their fleets, Adrian and Anessa seek a decisive victory before an even greater conflict begins.

An uneasy truce allows the Empire and its allies to strengthen their forces while planning for renewed war. Adrian seeks an alien alliance, investigators pursue evidence of Erasi interference, and an ancient enemy quietly studies the galaxy’s inhabitants.

A pause in the Erasi invasion gives the Empire an opportunity to seek peace for its Shara Daim allies. Behind the negotiations, a larger enemy fleet gathers, forcing Adrian and Anessa to prepare a defense against overwhelming numbers.

Tomas Klein struggles to unite rival galactic powers before the awakened Enlightened attack. Meanwhile, Adrian and Anessa prepare their Nomad Fleet for a dangerous search, knowing diplomatic obstacles and a mysterious enemy are rapidly consuming their remaining time.

The Enlightened launch raids across the galaxy with help from an ancient artificial intelligence. As Tomas tries to hold a defensive alliance together, Adrian questions whether the Custodian poses the greater threat and searches for a way to strike back.

Adrian, Anessa and their allies prepare to confront the Enlightened in a final struggle for the galaxy. Emperor Tomas Klein assembles a vast fleet, but differences in their plans may prove as important as the enemy they face.
