In a futuristic New Chicago where justice is meted out via a barbaric system called Absolution, you can either level the f@ck up or check out.Nobody knows this better than Marisol, a gifted young life-taker whose job involves hunting down "Runners," people who've been paid bounties to become suspects in crimes committed by the wealthy.On the verge of becoming the city's premier assassin, she stumbles upon a young Runner who holds the key to a conspiracy that could topple New Chicago's dictator-and threatens everything she's ever believed in.

Absolution

With an alien invasion threatening the survival of the human race, service in the Marines was no longer simply about honor and duty, it was a matter of life and death. This was especially true for Quinn, a Marine sergeant who was hell-bent on ensuring that her young daughter had a world to grow up in. But one thing separates Quinn from the others:She’s a certifiable badass. And as the aliens will learn, it’s tough to keep a good woman down. "SYNDICATE WARS is the perfect mash-up of STARSHIP TROOPERS and THE DIRTY DOZEN. A space opera with heart, great characters, and neverending action, the set-up will suck you in and the characters and story, including a very cool time-travel hook, will keep you wanting more." -- Stephen L'Heureux, SOLIPSISTFILMS (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For)

Syndicate Wars: First Strike

The rebellion against the alien invaders will never be the same. When all hope seems lost, the Space Marines uncover a secret in the form of a time capsule, a temporal totem that contains a message about how to fight back. Emboldened by the discovery, Quinn and the Marines begin hatching a plan to rebel by joining forces with the resistance, the very soldiers they’ve been forced to fight. Meanwhile, Sam has been stranded in the no-man’s land of vanquished cities littered with both friendly and enemy survivors of the invasion. She's forced to grow up quickly in the face of numerous life-or-death encounters, and soon links up with a ragtag group of guerrilla fighters to kick some serious alien butt. The Potentate watches over everything, biding his time, working feverishly to manipulate the actions of Quinn and the others in the present and in past loops of time. Can Quinn and her warriors stop the Syndicate before the Potentate’s master plan is revealed and put into action?
