"I know where the Angel of Death plague originated, and so does every other 'patient' who left Thrygg that day…"Fourteen years ago, Thryggian scientists permitted a mass escape of test subjects from their laboratory on Thrygg, including Abner Dedrick, the youngest member of the powerful Forrand-Dedrick family on Earth. These patients all thought they'd been receiving an unapproved longevity treatment. In fact, they'd been infected with a bio-engineered virus and their escape was the first step in a horrific experiment.Now the day of reckoning is approaching. The plague unleashed on the galaxy by the Thryggians has finally been brought under control and they're on trial for this and other scientific crimes. The viral strain Abner was carrying has wiped out an entire Human colony. Only his young daughter Lania and his voice log - a damning piece of evidence if brought before the tribunal - have survived. Aboard the Earth ship that rescues Lania is Ixbeth Minegar, a lone alien who becomes convinced that Lania is part of a prophecy that could spell life or death for Ixbeth's entire race.The Thryggians are not going down quietly. They've broken planetary confinement and are determined to find and eliminate any evidence against them, even if it means entering Earth space and destroying Earth ships. Fortunately, the one carrying Abner Dedrick's log has an alien or two up its sleeve…

Earth Intelligence and Space Installation Security each think Drew Townsend is working for them. They're wrong.Sent undercover to set up a covert intelligence operation on Earth's remotest space station, Drew Townsend finds himself managing a crew of brilliant mavericks, making friends with the most feared warriors in the galaxy, and feeling more at home in the controlled insanity of Daisy Hub than he ever did on Earth. Then he learns the truth about his mission there, and it's time to choose. In the coming interplanetary conflict, which side will Daisy Hub be on?Like the clues of a cryptic crossword, each book set in the Sic Transit Terra universe contains a puzzle - perhaps a riddle, perhaps a maze or an anagram - and in each case, the answer to the smaller puzzle brings the reader and characters one step closer to solving a much larger and more important one. The Genius Asylum is '1 Across' - it initiates a multi-book story arc that addresses one of the great mysteries of life: Why are we humans the way that we are?

Earth's ancient past is coming home to roost, and it's making Barry Novak, the Chief of Operations of the Earth Intelligence Service, very nervous. First, a document written in an alien language surfaces at an archaeological site on Earth. Then, a Stragori defector approaches Novak, offering another old document in exchange for sanctuary. This one was stolen from the alien's home world. Once decoded, the document's contents are mind-blowing. Finally, an old enemy switches sides, bringing with him information that fills in the gaps and, if true, could rewrite the very definition of Humanity. Earth isn't yet ready to learn these truths. Making them public would cause worldwide xenophobia. So, Novak does the only thing he can think of. He sends them as far away as he can-to Daisy Hub. In this eagerly awaited sequel to The Genius Asylum, long buried secrets arrive aboard the space station, carried by a mysterious one-eyed man who calls himself Max Karlov and claims to have been assigned there. But there are things happening on Daisy Hub that need to be kept "in the family", and too many unanswered questions about this new crew member. Determined to unravel Karlov's story, Townsend and his crew of maverick geniuses start digging for the truth. What they discover will shake them to their core.

The most dangerous race in the galaxy is the race against time.And the second most dangerous race? The Galactic Great Council believes it's the Humans. However, as the captain and officers of the Earth ship Marco Polo are about to find out, Humanity has plenty of competition for that title.While visiting Kula'as, Captain Takamura and his crew are recruited by aliens for a covert mission. The Thryggians may be close to breaking out of their pocket universe using a psi-powered heavy ship left over from an ancient war. If they succeed in activating the ship, they'll be unstoppable. Can a bickering bunch of Humans and aliens work together to find and steal the vessel before it is too late?
