Gyrfalcon (Taking Shield #1)
Earth’s last
known colony, Albion, is fighting an alien enemy. In the first of the Taking
Shield series, Shield Captain Bennet is dropped behind the lines to steal
priceless intelligence. A dangerous job, and Bennet doesn’t need the
distractions of changing relationships with his long-term partner, Joss, or
with his father—or with Flynn, the new lover who will turn his world
upside-down. He expects to risk his life. He expects the data will alter the
course of the war. What he doesn’t expect is that it will change his life or
that Flynn will be impossible to forget.
Heart Scarab (Taking Shield #2)
Telnos is an
unpleasant little planet, inhabited by religious fanatics in the festering
marshlands and unregistered miners running illegal solactinium mines up in the
hills. But the Maess want Telnos, and Shield Captain Bennet’s job is to get out
as many civilians as he can—a task that leaves him lying on Telnos while the
last cutter of evacuees escapes in the teeth of the Maess invasion.
Bennet
is listed missing in action, believed dead on a planet now overrun by Maess
drones. His family is grieving. His long-term partner, Joss, is both mourning
and guilt-ridden. And Fleet Lieutenant Flynn? Flynn is desolate. Flynn is
heart-broken…no. Flynn is just broken.
Makepeace (Taking Shield #3)
Returning to
duty following his long recovery from the injuries he sustained during the
events recounted in Heart Scarab, Shield Captain Bennet accepts a tour of duty
in Fleet as flight captain on a dreadnought. The one saving grace is that it
isn’t his father’s ship—bad enough that he can’t yet return to the Shield
Regiment, at least he doesn’t have the added stress of commanding former lover
Fleet Lieutenant Flynn, knowing the fraternisation regulations will keep them
apart.
Working
on the material he collected himself on T18 three years before, Bennet decodes
enough Maess data to send him behind the lines to Makepeace, once a human
colony but under Maess control for more than a century. The mission goes belly
up, costing Albion one of her precious, irreplaceable dreadnoughts and bringing
political upheaval, acrimony and the threat of public unrest in its wake. But
for Bennet, the real nightmare is discovering what the Maess have in store for
humanity.
It’s not good.
It’s not good at all.
