Can a small family survive the fall of the Alliance?

Lady Olympiada Vinogradov's Grandfather has died . . . and now she's going off to some tier four mining World with her mother and stepfather. Ought to be a great adventure! And far away from people who might notice she has dangerously strong Mentalist talents that could get her chipped. But before she goes, she needs to rescue her friends. But taking them along with her to an unpopulated wilderness full of dangerous animals, to a base totally dependent on imported food and fuel might not be a good thing as the Three Part Alliance slides closer to collapse . . . But with friends and family, what could possibly go wrong . . .

In a brutal cross-dimensional Empire where everything is about ownership and control, and the strongest mentalists rule . . . Karl Traeger has a problem. His elderly father has died, and sixteen-year-old Karl is going to be at the mercy of very unsavory relatives. And since he’s the oldest of his generation—ahead of his cousins in the line of inheritance—he knows his uncle will never Present him: never allow him to demonstrate his fitness for the title of Lord. No, he’ll be one more brain-chipped servant. But maybe if he moves quickly, before anyone knows his father is dead . . . he can save himself, then get to work saving the people he cares about—maybe even save his budding antiques business. A stand alone novella in the Fall of the Alliance Series.

Yuri Egorov is a Intel agent on a distant World. His main problem? He inherited the family home--a serious wreck--from the uncle who disliked him. The solution? In the Troystvennyy Soyuz--the Three Part Alliance--a brutal form of slavery, enforced through mandatory brain chips. So, however unsavory to Yuri, buying a worker should be no problem. But this worker is . . . not standard. Then a cross dimensional invasion puts his own problems in perspective . . .

Radmir Gagarin is not an Exec, he just does the job of one. Working for the richest man in the Alliance, Lord Diomid Devi, is not easy, even though he's retired. And it gets a lot harder when the Plague strikes the World Lord Diomid purchased as his personal retirement home. And then the invasion . . .

Mike's nephew Ari was kidnapped and recovered by an unknown man. Mike helped get the ten-year-old all the way home . . . to find Ari's father dead, and the relatives circling . . . The police seem to be more interested in the rescuer than the kidnapping.

Falk is starting to realize his own family is entangled in the apparently natural death, the kidnapping . . . and the Recovery Agent.

Horst Aslanov is a seventeen-year-old criminal. Or at least he aspires to be one. But his mentor is missing, the number two boss is a dictatorial idiot, and it's hard to say if the possibility of a police raid is better or worse than the violent criminal gang moving into their area. The Wild West Bar and Grill is a restaurant in a cross-dimensional future Moscow. Serving authentic barbeque, and tiny shows of wild west shootouts. It's also a cover for an unlicensed brothel . . . which is an extra layer of cover for an ID hacking and brainchip forging operation. But the old forger is missing, and now Horst has to decide if he's going to try to keep the business running . . . or go straight.

Six stories in the Troystvennyy Soyuz on the run up to and during the Fall of the Alliance. Young people with problems with the brutal society, and all too often their own families. Young men and women reaching for a better future, as everything changes around them.

Hayden Jaeger, youngest son of the Chairman of the Council and Ambrose Vinogradov, the youngest son of the Founder, were thrown together by random chance as they were assigned to be dorm mate at the University. It was not an instant friendship. 300 years before the fall of the Troystvennyy Soyuz, the foundations of a secret society are about to be laid down . . .

“There was a shield piercing Impression on the bullet. Karl had a shield up, too, and it wouldn’t have stopped that bullet.” A faint snort. “I think he’s a little indignant that the ‘Bad Cop’ saved him.” Police Captain Lord Daniil Ambrose Vinogradov grinned. “As opposed to the Good Cop? I’m afraid that when it comes to double teaming on a suspect, the role of Bad Cop does come rather easily to me. And Nix is a damn good cop.” “Ah. I thought you two disliked each other?” “We’re rivals for the next promotion, and, well, I am more aggressively ambitious and less well mannered. Or to be less polite, a ladder-climbing asshole.” As the attack on the 300, the Government Council, leaves the Three part Alliance without leadership, a runaway teenager leads a police detective deep into trouble, and romance.

The Three Part Alliance is falling apart, with internal strife, and out-and-out war . . . In the Japanese sector, everything is spiraling into a major crisis, but for two teenage boys, their personal problems seem more immediate. For Shato house Kujo the usual fate of a servant's child looms, while his legitimate best friend and almost brother is powerless to help, while preparing for college. But the murder of the Crown Prince is about to scramble everyone's plans as Japan withdraws from the Alliance, and plans retribution.

Hieronymus was just going to take a ride with a friend and wasn't expecting his friend's sisters to be a kidnapped . . . and he certainly wasn't expecting the opportunity to be a hero. As information about the abilities of unchipped Portal Clones spread, their usefulness for cross-dimensional crimes of the ordinary sort should have been anticipated . . . although how to stop them is difficult, if not impossible. But as a spunky thirteen-year-old works to escape, Hieronymus has a plan . . .

A short story taking place after the Fall Bryanne Volkov is sixteen and moving from a small town to the capital of the Alliance, as her Grandfather is about to become the head of the entire Volkov Family.
