We already have the pieces to build the Moon. I break down the robots, the lunar ice, the orbital gas station, and why the only thing stopping us is choosing to wait.
A plague empties a Ketheri station, and the survivors choose the long sleep, sealed in stasis pods to wait out the sickness. One pilot refuses. Ren stays awake, alone, keeping the station running and the sleepers alive, the woman he never spoke to among them. Year after year he keeps a watch no one will ever see, and begins to wonder if the station is keeping one of its own. A story of duty, solitude, and the cost of staying.

Commander James Rhodes was raised by a father who taught him that weakness was a choice and that a Rhodes never breaks. Now, inbound over Siberia with twelve operators and a mission that was never supposed to exist, he gets one chance to prove what that made him — and to decide what to leave behind for the people he loves. A story of duty, sacrifice, and a father's son, set during the events of The Sentinel of Crater Daedalus.

In the Sentinel Universe, scattered worlds speak with a single voice. Galactic Standard was built to be small enough to master and deep enough to live in — five vowels, fourteen consonants, one rule of order, and a handful of roots that join to say anything. Open the book, read the first line aloud, and by the last page you'll be reading a story from another world and understanding every word. The common tongue of The Sentinel of Crater Daedalus.

A truck sits abandoned on a Montana service road, door open, keys still in it, no one behind the wheel. Game warden Calvin Rourke knows every ordinary thing that goes wrong in the backcountry. This is none of them. A trail that stops where it shouldn't. A crater where there should be none. Federal agents who arrive too fast and seal it all away. One man drove up that road and never came home, and only you will ever learn why. The first of the Daedalus Files.
Book 1.1 — A short story of The Sentinel of Crater Daedalus, Book One of the Sentinel Trilogy.
