Mark Tudor is learning a valuable lesson about being a Peacemaker. With Veteran pay comes veteran problems. And the Guild, more often than not, is the issue. He’s become an effective enforcer of the law, but unfortunately, crime is growing a lot more complicated. Someone is slaving artificial beings to ships, running contraband across the stars in a fatal practice that marries murder, theft, and kidnapping. Even as Mark’s crew grows, he discovers these crimes aren’t just horrific—they’re common. And he means to stop it. Deep in the black between stars, Mark finds an ancient and bizarre place, filled with the galaxy’s discarded junk. And in the middle of that cold, distant void lies a massive ship—one that holds secrets that will rock the halls of power in known space—and turn crime into profit. Diving headlong into new cases, Mark will find that the elite criminals aren’t scared of a farm boy from Iowa. That professional killers are lurking in the shadows. But he’s no longer alone. With Tan, the teenaged tech wizard, and Drogo, whose gifts are a bit more martial, the search for justice will become a little more violent. With seemingly unconnected events escalating, one killer separates herself from the crowd. Dive back into a brand new adventure set in the bestselling Backyard Starship Universe and see where it all began. If you're a fan of Backyard Starship, Renegade Star, or classic science fiction, this is the series for you.

The road between the stars was paved in platinum ore. But as Mark Tudor is about to learn, the cost of justice is paid in blood. And no one is truly safe. Gyl Mareth’s Rot corrupts the Guild, and Mark means to cut it out at the source. To do that, he’ll have to lobby powerful supporters—spindly, blue aliens, toads infatuated with buearcracy, and maybe even an influential bartender or two. But help is there for an honorable man to find, as long as he’s got the strength of conviction, and the right kind of friends. Disturbing the established order will mean kicking over a fair number of rocks, although Mark, Valint, and the others might be surprised by what scurries forth underneath—and what uniform it’s wearing when it steps into the light. Mark Tudor will make the title Peacemaker mean something once again, but to do that, he’ll have to face the worst the galaxy has to offer. Death waits in the quiet moments. And sometimes, it is a soldier’s loved ones that pay the greatest price.

For a World War veteran like Mark Tudor, death is an old acquaintance. Unfortunately, a person never becomes truly numb to its sting. A good Gajur gave his life. But will that sacrifice help bring the galaxy back to balance? Or topple known space into a war to end all wars? Armagost wasn't the only light snuffed prematurely. The attack destroyed an irreplaceable piece of Valint's life, as well. Now Mark must toe the delicate line between law man and friend. Partner and lover. With those in power divided, the work has only begun. The galaxy no longer needs a maker of peace, but a lobbyist and negotiator. In order to deconstruct the entombed and corrupt system, Mark and the gang must stack the deck in their favor. If only things were that simple. Someone is targeting Ja-Ra's people galaxy wide. The hot-blooded murder kitties are out to avenge Jarls Vane. And the bureaucratic toads carry legendary grudges. But Mark's wrath is reserved for one group, and one group only. Stillness. The assassins will answer for the lives they took. And Mark will wrestle Tan back from their clutches, if it means he's got to cut down every wicked Lyrae to do it.

The revelations Mark Tudor unearthed on Tactus Ares were profound. The Piraxians fell victim to the aggressive, expansionist Eridani Federation. That same confederacy funded and facilitated the Lyrae. They made Stillness. And the Guild was complicit. But how does one bring exposure to something the galaxy at large would rather forget? And how does an honorable man remove corruption when it's gravity consumes all? A plan is hatched in secret. Bold. Definitive. But Mark and his cohorts have suffered with one potentially fatal misgiving—that their enemy, the imperialist Gyl-Mareth, wasn't plotting against them at the same time. The tables always turn when it is least expected. And Mark Tudor may lose more than just his best friend, but his love, and potential legacy. Gyl-Mareth springs his trap. The Guild's reformation is struck a fatal blow. And yet, a landslide can begin with a single loose rock. In the desperate hours, with hope fading, Mark Tudor will become that rock.

It has all come down to this... With the attack countdown ticking toward zero, Mark and Perry pitch themselves headfirst into a seemingly impossible mission. One intended to break Gyl-Mareth's hold on the Guild, and thus the galaxy, once and for all. But first, Peaceful Skies must fall. Their strike is silent and deadly. Justice prevails. As a veteran and battle-tested soldier, Mark Tudor understands one key truth—violence is never a straightforward affair. Even the best laid plans can crumble. And when working against a savvy predator, one should always expect the unexpected. Unfortunately, one success does not necessarily lead to another, and in a surprising move, Mark and Valint find themselves on the defensive. Even formidable warriors possess weakness, and unfortunately, Gyl-Mareth doesn't just know what it is, but where. Prepare for the final, explosive chapter in the Peacemaker Wars saga, and see how one man wrestles civilized space back from the brink. This is how a legacy begins.
