The war for control of the multiverse is finally coming to a head. What started for Liam as a game has become for King Liam something far more personal, a fight for the home he has made for himself and those he cares for. This conclusion to the saga brings more of what has defined the Crucible Shard series, hard decisions and complex choices as the lines between hero, anti-hero, and villain blur even more.

Liam is king of the world and things have never seemed darker. As the Crucible Shard takes on a new prominence in the larger Universe, this brings new opportunities and dangers greater than any he has yet faced. Earth, too, is moving into this larger world and under the control of the Artificial Intelligences it would be foolish to underestimate their ambition. When battle lines are drawn, what side shall Liam choose?

And now into the middle of all this, his instructor just got drafted by some mystical goddess to help save a world... From book 2: Coyote has a new task for Paul, one that involves him traveling north hundreds of miles over the post-apocalyptic landscape of California, the place that Paul once called home...

A worker in the scrapyards of Metalhaven in Earth’s last city, Finn Brasa is a good man with big heart and an even bigger mouth. Whether he’s annoying a-hole robot foremen or standing up to the city’s troopers, Finn has a talent for trouble. Then his talent attracts the attention of the Authority, a tyrannical empire governed from a space citadel called Nimbus. Without warning, Finn is thrown into a fight for his life in a gladiatorial spectacle that fewer than one in two thousand have ever survived. But Finn has been beating the odds all his life.

Despite their best efforts to subdue Goliath, the superpowered alien AI continues to grow stronger and more lethal. Billions already lie dead across the galaxy as the entity works its way toward Earth, and the Star Scavengers are losing faith. All of their hopes now lie in finding another artificial entity–one that fought and defeated Goliath long before humanity was born.

After the cataclysmic events on Manticore Four, Star Scavengers Hudson and Tory return to Earth to plan their next move. The alien superbeing known as Goliath has returned, and the only way to stop its murderous rampage is to find the crystals of power before it does.

Being on loan to the FBI has its advantages, and for the first time in far too long, Mark is taking a few weeks off with his family. But he's barely gotten started when he finds his brother unwittingly entangled in a mess that can be traced directly back to an attempt on Mark's life some months ago.

With both Morphus and Goliath travelling the galaxy, each looking for a way to defeat the other, the star scavengers, Hudson Powell and Tory Bellona, find themselves alone and fighting for their lives. Still licking their wounds after the events on Caccini Two, they are left with no time to recover before the Council arrive to repay Hudson and Tory for the trouble they’ve caused. On the run, with bounties on their heads both from the crime consortium and the Children of Goliath, led by Hudson’s long-time adversary, Logan Griff, they are forced to hide out inside the Revocaters.

Sam is back and better than ever! Just kidding. His life still sucks. Dragged into the video-game-like world of Somerset, he is constantly having his patience and sanity tested by the world's sheer tropiness and unoriginality. Like, for example, how Princess Willow of the East was kidnapped just a few hours after asking for his help in saving her kingdom. Or, how seemingly no one, including the all-powerful Adventurers Guild, can do anything about it.

With Morphus still absent on her mysterious expedition, a surprise request from an old ally sets the star scavengers on a path to developing a new weapon against Goliath. And it sees them doing what they do best–hunting for crystals of power inside alien wrecks.

Eric wanted to be a barkeep, like his adoptive father. He wanted only to run the family inn and enjoy his small corner of the world. His dreams weren't of adventure or power. His dreams were modest and humble. His dreams were not to be. As the bastard son of Lord EarthScorn, he had a Knack, which meant he would have to be trained as a wizard for the council. He would have to defend the kingdom from the evils of the outer world.

Who the hell is Virgonius Simp? To answer this all-important question, Sam must venture through the world of Somerset one last time. Of course, he isn’t exactly a willing participant, but Grem Lynn, queen of the gremlins, doesn’t really give him much choice. Tasked with destroying a conspiracy to overthrow her Grempire – get it? – Sam sets out with his odd group of people and talking animals.
