Why on Earth am I being asked what my New Years Resolution is? I like they way they ask me what “it” is, not what “they” are. If I ever did a New Years resolution it certainly wouldn’t be more than one. I don’t need a New Year to start a resolution anyway, that’s what Mondays are for. Also those times I ate too much cake right before bed and woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck. Nope, no New Years Resolutions for me this year. I actually try to eat well, exercise, be good, and whatever else is expected of me. Can we go back in time, find the person who came up with the idea to make New Years Resolutions , and kick that person? A Good swift kick to the tushy!

The galaxy is a dangerous place

It’s about to become even more dangerous

For millennia, the Krai’kesh waited. They plotted. And now they are ready to strike. Now they emerge.

The worlds of the Milky Way galaxy enjoy a tenuous peace, unaware and ill prepared for the threat building beyond the furthest reaches of humanity. The star federation of Tar Ebon stands as a shining light of justice and mercy in a harsh galaxy, and they will be the first to suffer the fury of the Krai’kesh.

Commanding a fleet at the far end of the galaxy, veteran navy captain Martin Rigsby has risen through the ranks by sheer grit and determination, defending Tar Ebon from brutal pirates, the Empire and more.

And when the onslaught comes, Martin and his fleet may be Tar Ebon’s last hope for freedom.

Elsewhere, Federation Marine Derek Jamison finds himself in a warzone when a routine training exercise turns into a fight for survival for him and his squad.

Federation pilot Selene Artois, assigned to Captain Rigsby’s fleet, fights the new threat with everything she has.

Kimberly Hague, a rookie intelligence operative, finds herself under assault by traitors within the Federation and must use every trick in her arsenal to survive.

A space opera trilogy for fans of Lindsay Buroker’s Fallen Empire series and the Star Wars expanded universe books.

Bad and Badder
by Ray Backley
4.0 Stars (21 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | Literature & Fiction | Suspense

FREE for a limited time

Five contemporary thrillers to have you bolted to the edge of your seat.
The theme linking all of these visceral stories is bad people – their motivations, their victims, how they get their comeuppance, and how – just sometimes – they don’t.
In ‘A.B.C.’, a liaison between Shannon and Tyson is not quite what it seems. It all just has to go horribly wrong for one of them. But which one?
‘Desert Rat’ tells the story of Danny Freemont’s final business trip – his last chance to ‘see a little of the real country’. It quickly descends into a dry-throat nightmare where hope is in short supply.
In ‘Juked’, Neeta Shah’s healthy cycle trip takes a decidedly unhealthy turn, resulting in a cat and mouse battle of wits along the Pacific Highway.
‘Jack Slave’ is a tale of a bully who simply won’t seem to go away, and the drastic action that just has to be taken.
The final tale, ‘Crowe Ridge’, tells the story of how a person’s tainted history can come back to haunt them in the cruellest of ways.
And remember, people like this are out there.
Each story is between 40 and 50 pages long, and the collection is fully hyperlinked and bookmarked, with a short author’s afterword following each story.
