STAR RUNNER: JOURNEY BEYOND
Neil Herndon
Simon Rigel constantly struggled to find his place in the galaxy. Art had him craving more, and only when he traveled into space did he feel genuinely at home. Yet, after a sequence of encounters, he discovers himself in the midst of a cosmic conflict that questions everything he knows.
After an alien emissary comes calling, Simon moves from humble citizen to captain of one of the finest warships when his biological father, a legendary war hero, goes missing. Over the course of Simon’s first year battling against an implacable enemy, the fledgling pilot shows his skill with every encounter. But the adversary forces him and his crew to the edge, along with the sanctimonious demands of his political officer. It forces Simon to find his own way in the fight, and do what he feels is true and good, not just what he's told.
STAR RUNNER: ENEMY AMONG THE STARS
Neil Herndon

All at the hands of the Collective, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to force peace talks once again. Only an old menace threatens to turn the Galactic Strife into chaos. An insectoid race known as the Reduvians betray their former allies in the Confederation with the intent of taking control of a fractured galaxy for themselves. And they have been planning their attack for quite some time. Which means it’s up to Simon and his crew to stop the rebellion before too many lives are lost.
STAR RUNNER: SPECTER OF DARKNESS
Neil Herndon
The galactic landscape is no longer as black and white as the crew of the Star Runner used to believe--if it ever was. And the truth maroons them between two sides. To make matters worse, Captain Simon Rigel has to fill the position of engineer on his ship, following the loss of someone near and dear to his heart. Tensions rise, leaving the galaxy teetering on a precipice. Will it be peace, or a renewed war between the Collective and the Confederation? Unfortunately, the Gammorans return en masse, cutting the negotiations short. Everyone can see the danger this old enemy poses, yet no one wants to act. So, Captain Rigel does what he has always done, and forges his own road. However, that path leaves him squaring off with the galaxy's nemesis, not once but twice. And neither incident goes according to plan...
