Thrive Space Colony Adventures Books in Order

Captain Sass Collier takes her small ship on the lengthy journey to Denali to retrieve a nanite specialist who might save her colony. Different ambitions divide the crew, while planetary launch windows leave little room for failure.

A decade after Sass and Thrive departed for another star, Ben Acosta still captains the aging ringship Prosper. His ex proposes a faster-than-light experiment, reuniting old crewmates for a venture that combines scientific possibility with difficult practical obligations.

Immortal former cop Sass Collier emerges from prison determined to run a profitable skyship with an eccentric crew. But Mahina's settlers still suffer outside the prosperous citadel, drawing her back toward the injustice that once inspired her rebellion.

Sass Collier guides Thrive through the dangerous rings of gas giant Pono, seeking answers to her colony's failing health on nearby Sagamore. Reaching the moon requires ship upgrades, inexperienced crewmates, and dealings with hazardous orbital outsiders.

Stranded on Denali without enough fuel to return home, Sass Collier and her crew face a hostile ecosystem and a closing launch window. A sunken starship and a scientist's knowledge offer tempting prizes, if the expedition can survive.

Ben Acosta and the reunited crews of Prosper and Thrive attempt to turn warp technology into an interstellar business. A tour through Denali, Sanctuary, and Cantons confronts them with unsettled communities, artificial intelligence, and unfamiliar political arrangements.

Sass Collier reaches Sanctuary, a technologically advanced colony where robots work and residents appear unusually healthy. Yet an obstructive artificial intelligence controls access, and the apparent paradise presents a problem Sass cannot easily leave unresolved.

After Denali's evacuation bankrupts his company and overwhelms Mahina with refugees, Ben Acosta considers using the dangerous artificial intelligence Loki to save those left behind. His plan instead traps him and Remi inside an airless asteroid.

Sass Collier escorts an expedition from struggling Denali to the apparently welcoming planet Sylvan. Underfunded and poorly equipped, the colonists encounter escalating failures, leaving Sass to determine whether the forested world or deliberate sabotage is responsible.
