True Allegiance

The end of the war should bring peace, right?

In the midst of what should be a time of celebration, Halberd is called to duty to respond to a surprise threat. His task force of three Royal Navy ships that employ advanced technology is needed to counter an attack in a non-aligned system. Taking advantage of Halberd’s absence and a Royal Navy weakened by war, the other inter-stellar superpower, the Chinese Republics, invades the Commonwealth.

Provided by a traitor with the technology that provided the Royal Navy with the edge it needed to win the war with the Rodinan Federation, the Republican navy obliterates a good chunk of the fleet, and nearly wins the war in the first battle. Outnumbered, the Commonwealth’s survival is in doubt. The Royal Navy is forced to bring warships out of mothballs in order to mount a defense.

Hope do you keep your hopes alive in the face of such losses?

True Allegiance is the third book in the thrilling Captain Halberd Series. If you love classic military sci-fi with compelling characters, innovative tactics, and explosive space battles, you’ll be captivated by John J. Spearman’s fast-paced adventure.

Join HMS Cumberland on her maiden voyage and discover what it truly means to lead, to fight, and to win against impossible odds.

FitzDuncan’s Peril

Caz and Fenwick have faced evil before. They’ll just dance right in and eliminate it, right?

The Dark Lord threatens to control the southern continent. Will Caz and Fenwick be strong enough to stop this, or die trying? The latest entry in the award-winning FitzDuncan series begins as Fenwick and Caz answer the plea for assistance from the southern continent. They leave behind their pregnant wives and set sail in the teeth of dangerous winter weather with the men of Aquileia’s Castle Shield. When they arrive, they learn that a dark mage has enslaved an entire country. An army of thralls is advancing steadily.

Before they can join battle, mystical instructions divert Fenwick and Caz on a dangerous journey through hostile territory. Waiting for them is a powerful religious artifact, but also a command that they alone must go alone to eliminate the dark mage who is directing the expanding shadow of evil. Caz finds himself in the fight of his life—a contest he is losing until help arrives from an unexpected ally. Thus begins FitzDuncan’s Peril, but before the book concludes, a new narrator must take up the story.

Is this the end for Caz and Fenwick? Do they succeed in eliminating evil, or open a portal for it to spread throughout the world?
