And—on a harsh, desolate planet—a sentient species, struggling to build a civilization. Stealing the Sun, a space-based Science Fiction series from frequent Analog contributor and bestselling Amazon Science Fiction author Ron Collins --- STARCLASH Two star systems, one galaxy Universe Three has destroyed Everguard. The United Government has to strike back. Humanity sits on the edge of an intergalactic war never before imaginable. Torrance Black: Everguard’s hero signs up to help. Casmir Francis: Universe Three’s director wants a peaceful path to freedom for his people while Deidra—his daughter and heir to his leadership—wants to fight it out now. Is she right? Is she wrong? Can the galaxy survive either answer? --- STARBOUND One war across the stars, two paths to the future Torrance Black never planned to become a war hero, but this latest twist—turning politician—came as the ultimate shock. Universe Three renegades fight for freedom under their new leader. Or is it revenge? United Government leaders want control. But Torrance, science ambassador, joins the most advanced minds in the Solar System to complete one task: set the future course for scientific exploration of the known universe. He believes intelligent life lives in the Alpha Centauri system. He thinks humanity is destroying it. Draining its star. Problem is: No one else agrees. --- STARCRASH First You Have To Survive Torrance Black: wounded, alone, and adrift in deep space. His tiny shuttle holds short rations and scant fuel. Ahead lies his only chance—a planet too desolate to support life. At least that’s what the “experts” told him. But someone must have sent the signals that changed his life back when he was on Everguard. Torrance believes. He’s always believed. If he makes it to the planet he can finally learn if he was right. But first, he has to survive. --- “STARCLASH proves once again that Ron Collins is a master of the science fiction adventure story—not the crazy stuff you remember from the pulps, but the kind of interstellar adventure that has believable characters, plotting that makes sense, and a future that rings true." Mike Resnick, Hugo Award–winning author of Kirinyaga
