Spiral Arm Books in Order

Captain January discovers an ancient artifact whose power draws collectors, pirates, and rulers into violent competition. Its passage through an interstellar civilization entwines personal desire with revolution and mystery, as rival claimants pursue something capable of saving or destroying their world.

When intelligence agent Bridget disappears, her daughter Mearana refuses to abandon the search and recruits the troubled Donovan. Following clues toward a powerful artifact takes them across frontier worlds, while his fractured mind complicates an already dangerous journey.

Donovan's disappearance threatens Mearana's hopes of reuniting her parents. An enemy agent arrives under truce to explain his fate, revealing that an internal war of sabotage and assassination has drawn him back into service against his will.

Carried toward Earth, Donovan must recover information buried within his divided mind to aid a rebel assault. Meanwhile, Bridget pursues her kidnapped daughter despite recognizing the trap, as their separate paths converge through layers of deception and political conflict.
