Kordolians, by the looks of things. What the hell do they want with this floating rust bucket? What are they even doing here? In the grand scheme of things, Earth is a total backwater, and the Solar System is the galactic equivalent of Hicksville. That's why aliens rarely bother to come to this corner of the universe. And Kordolians are usually too busy conquering the important parts of the nine galaxies to bother with us. But it looks as if their battle cruiser is broken. Probably shot up in a firefight. They're going to use every means necessary to fix it, even if it means putting Fortuna Tau on lockdown. I just hope they don't decide to enslave us and ship us off to some remote alien planet. Come to think of it, I've never seen a Kordolian up close before. They're huge, with strange silver skin and pointed ears. They have freaky nano-armor. And they're packing a serious arsenal. Our human technology has no chance against their weapons. When I encounter their General, I find him insufferable. Arrogant. Domineering. He won't tell me anything. I guess that's what happens when your race is kicking ass across the nine galaxies. You get pigheaded. So why do I keep running into him? Why is he looking at me funny? And what's with this weird feeling I get when he's around? I really hope these guys fix their ship and go away soon, because I get the feeling they could be major trouble. Tarak Sucked into a wormhole during a fierce skirmish with an enemy ship. Spat out near a human mining station in a remote corner of the nine galaxies. Stuck with weak humans who operate with inferior metals and technology. This mission couldn't get any worse. We need to fix our craft before the wormhole collapses. We need to hunt the cursed Xargek monsters that have infiltrated this human rust-bucket. And these infernal headaches of mine are getting worse. I don't really care about these humans. Their existence makes no sense to me. All I care about is killing Xargek and getting back to my home planet, Kythia. This situation is tiresome. The light of the star humans call the Sun burns my eyes. I crave Kythia's darkness. So why has this crazy human female captured my attention? She's messy, awkward and she babbles nonsense half the time. These humans are crazy. I don't understand them at all. Especially this female. Why do I keep coming back to her? I need to leave this place before I go insane Warning: This book contains swearing, violence and steamy sex scenes. It's recommended for readers aged 18 and over. less

Abbey So I wake up and find myself on a Military Space Station, just off Kythia, the home planet of the Kordolians. General Tarak wants me to stay put, but there’s no way I’m sitting around in his claustrophobic quarters. I need to be looking for a way to get back home. Fortuna Tau is being overrun by disgusting, oversized insects, and I’m stuck here, at the other end of the universe. On the upside, at least my injuries are healed.

General Tarak wants me to stay put, but there’s no way I’m sitting around in his claustrophobic quarters. I need to be looking for a way to get back home. Fortuna Tau is being overrun by disgusting, oversized insects, and I’m stuck here, at the other end of the universe. On the upside, at least my injuries are healed. The General is being a big, arrogant jerk. He won’t tell me anything. He’s walking around his quarters half-dressed, unaware that his bare, sculpted torso is a bit too distracting. And the food on this station leaves a lot to be desired. Kordolians obviously haven’t discovered the glory of nachos yet. At this rate I don’t know if I’ll ever get to taste chocolate again. When I ask when he’s going to take me back, he gets evasive. I don’t like that. So when he has to leave me alone to attend to some official business, I decide to explore. Sneaking around this huge, floating station, I soon realize that not all Kordolians are as, uh, friendly as the General. To some of them, I’m nothing more than a giant, walking lab rat. I really have to find a way to get back home. Before I end up on a dissection table. Tarak To my relief, the nanograft is a success. The female has healed, and she’s probably even physically stronger than before. It’s too bad the High Council have been informed of her presence. Apparently, Humans are reproductively compatible with our species. They want her. They demand I hand her over. Absolutely not. She’s mine. The infernal High Council can go rot in one of Kaiin’s hells, for all I care. When I return to the Fleet Station, I find she hasn’t obeyed my orders. I told her to stay in my quarters. Stubborn female. I need to find her before those idiotic scientists get to her. And if any Kordolian dares to harm her, they will answer to me. Dark Planet Warriors is a 3-book serial. Each book is an episode of Abbey and Tarak's story, just like a TV series. A new installment will be released every few weeks.

Abbey Ever since we left the Fleet Station, Tarak has been his usual cryptic self. For some reason, he’s keeping everything very low-key, to the extent that we’re trying to sneak in to Kythia. Something’s up, and he’s not telling me anything. Every time I try to get answers, he distracts me with his stupid sexiness. Stupid sexy, silver, stubborn, insistent alien. Why can’t he just keep his damn hands to himself? And why do I suck at resisting his advances? There’s something he’s not telling me... moreAbbey Ever since we left the Fleet Station, Tarak has been his usual cryptic self.

Every time I try to get answers, he distracts me with his stupid sexiness. Stupid sexy, silver, stubborn, insistent alien. Why can’t he just keep his damn hands to himself? And why do I suck at resisting his advances? There’s something he’s not telling me. He’s up to something shady, and I don’t like it. I guess I have no choice but to stick with him for now, because half of Kythia is out to get me, and who better to have by your side than the most lethal soldier in the Kordolian military? We’ll just have to work on his communication skills, a little, that’s all. Tarak Kythia is a dangerous place for a Human, but I must go there. The safest place in the universe for Abbey right now is by my side, so she comes with me. She will not enjoy the trip, but I aim to keep it brief. Besides, I cannot keep my hands off her. She mystifies and perplexes me, and yet I find myself addicted to her warmth, her scent, and her sweet taste. She does not know the extent of the danger facing us. The High Council want my head. They may send assassins after us. The barren wastelands of the Vaal, where we must go, are cold and harsh and completely disconnected from civilization. But I must find the tortured Prince, and drag him back to reality. There are plans I wish to put in place to ensure the survival of our race, and he, just like my precious Human, is an integral part of them. We may be returning to Earth sooner than she thinks.

The Kordolians are loose on the asteroid mining station Fortuna Tau, and first-rank mechanic Jia Morgan has become caught up in the thick of things. Under the careful watch of these steely-eyed silver warriors, Jia and her team have been tasked with repairing the hull of the Kordolians’ Alpha-Class battle cruiser, Silence. The problem is, their alien technology is far, far beyond anything she’s seen before, and whatever they try to weld to Silence’s black hull just won’t stick... moreThe Kordolians are loose on the asteroid mining station Fortuna Tau, and first-rank mechanic Jia Morgan has become caught up in the thick of things. Under the careful watch of these steely-eyed silver warriors, Jia and her team have been tasked with repairing the hull of the Kordolians’ Alpha-Class battle cruiser, Silence. The problem is, their alien technology is far, far beyond anything she’s seen before, and whatever they try to weld to Silence’s black hull just won’t stick. When Jia goes in search of a tool that might actually penetrate the warship’s impossibly strong Callidum exterior, she find herself being aided by a most unlikely source. The hard-faced warrior who’s decided to accompany her walks on silent feet and carries a big, big gun. He’s equal parts scary and attractive, in an otherworldly sort of way. But although Jia finds this Kordolian fascinating, she’s not even going to try and get close to him, because, well, he’s a freaking Kordolian, and Kordolians aren’t exactly known throughout the Nine Galaxies for being nice and warm and fuzzy. Instead, she’s going to do her job and fix their warship, because that’s the only way these intimidating warriors are ever going to leave Fortuna Tau. Hopefully, they won’t break anything, or anyone, on the way out. Oh, and there’s also the small matter of these flesh-eating insect-aliens called Xargek. Apparently, they bite.

They are intended as accompaniments to Dark Planet Warriors, and may contain the occasional spoiler. Book 1 features Arin and Rykal, our protagonists from Forged in Shadow. It's set after Brilliant Starlight (Book 8), when the Kordolians have returned to Earth. Although it’s a spinoff, it isn’t the spinoff. That’s coming soon. less
