Brandeis Clark has grown bored with spaceflight academy, so when the government offers her an assignment hunting interstellar pirates, she jumps at the chance.
But Brandy’s home planet, Thurman, has never had a military and doesn’t know how to run one. Her training officer does little beyond yell and belittle. Her best friend has a mouse’s timidity, not good in a combat pilot. To top it off, one combat engineer keeps distracting Brandy with his penetrating questions and wry humor. A distraction she does not need.
The newly minted defense force sends Brandy and the rest of the crew out in a refitted sub-light ship to go on a years-long science mission in hopes these mysterious pirates will attack.
Brandy is interstellar bait.

What happens when a space pilot…crashes?
After Ensign Brandeis Clark, a.k.a. Brandy, crashes her first spaceship, she becomes famous…but no one will hire her. Even though she was an inexperienced teenager, the crash wasn’t her fault, and she saved most of the crew. On top of that, she invented a way to navigate through faster-than-light travel.
And still no one wants her.
Then, on her eighteenth birthday, one of the people she saved, brilliant theoretical physicist Dr. Lu Qui-Shi, offers her a job working with the team trying to recreate her original tricks.
When she agrees, she enters a minefield of hide-bound physicists, arrogant officers trying to sexually harass her, constant bombardment by the paparazzi, and a captain too scared of her to be a good commanding officer.
In other words, a situation in need of a good shakeup.
Which is Brandy’s specialty.

When it comes to interstellar war, the choices are between bad and worse…
The colonies spawned by Earth cannot find peace. The renegade New Romans are escalating from hit-and-run raids to dropping nuclear bombs on ship manufacturing yards. Where will the violence end?
The admiralty calls upon Lieutenant Commander Brandeis Clark, hero pilot of extra-dimensional Lu space, to do more than shoot down isolated aliens or follow orders in battle against the Nova Romans: she is being called upon to lead.
Eleven hotshot pilots, each of them as arrogant as she is, now call her “Ma’am.”
It’s like herding cats…cats who have a full arsenal of lasers, bombs, and other weapons of war on cutting-edge fighters that no one knows how to fly yet.
The admiralty isn’t asking much, just that Brandy and her squadron change the course of the war and perform feats with their little fighters that no one has ever done.
Meanwhile, all Brandy wants to do is keep her pilots alive.
With battles waiting and the fate of the galaxy at stake, can one pilot and her squadron change the course of a war?

How do you live up to a hero’s legacy?
When Burgundy finds out she’s the freezer twin of the famous pilot, Brandeis Clark, she’s furious. By the time she heads off to college on another planet, she’s already a failure compared to her sister, who by that time had discovered Lu Space, the pocket universe that let ships travel faster than light. And that was only the first of Brandy’s deeds.
There was no way Burgundy could live up to that, not any of it. And the first people she tells her secret to treat her badly.
So she sets out to discover who created her and why, not mention how to get away from them.
Come along as Burgundy tries to escape her sister’s long shadow and her creators’ control of her life.

Bending the fabric of space won’t pay her starship repair bills…but a suicidal freelance mission might.
Freelance spaceship pilot engineer Burgundy Lee may have escaped her rebellious past, but she still needs to cough up some dough in the present. Trying to avoid the mystery cabal that attempted to turn her into a copy of her famous pilot sister, Burgundy escapes to some of the most lawless frontiers of known human space, playing courier for the highest bidder.
It’s a self-induced exile, but it cuts her off from everyone she’s ever known. Friendless, homeless but for her ship, and broke, she has only her wits to rely upon.
Her wits…and her ability to modify her ship, Hiram’s Revenge.
When a mysterious man hires her to retrieve a secret passenger bound for Earth, Burgundy turns to her engineering skills in hope of finding a solution. She’ll have to push the boundaries of science to find a way to avoid an illegal military blockade…a way that not even her famous sister ever discovered.
No one will tell Burgundy the truth about the mission. She doesn’t know who her passenger is, the forces she’ll have to evade, or even the identity of the man in the expensive suit who hired her.
But that doesn’t mean she won’t find out.
Join Burgundy’s search for the loophole around the blockade…and around the secrets that have driven her to the ends of the galaxy!

Sister’s Homecoming
When a greedy interstellar empire just can’t leave a good planet alone…
Burgundy Lee, star pilot and engineer, should be set for life now that she’s escaped her “destiny” of rehashing her clone-sister’s triumphs.
One problem, though: what comes next when you’ve spent almost your whole life trying to escape your destiny?
Still freelancing, apparently.
Burgundy’s old friend Jackson offers her a job she can’t refuse, an offer of money and the chance to push her engineering skills past their limits. Now she’s tangled up in rescuing a spy, dodging lasers and missiles, and messing with the space-time continuum.
Worse, Eksil, a planet Burgundy rescued from a military blockade, is in trouble again. It seems when Burgundy broke the blockade, the interstellar empire that’s allergic to cooperation, Nova Roma, just switched to sending infiltrators disguised as merchant ships.
Burgundy had been searching for a home and a new career, but this wasn’t what she had in mind.
What do the Romans want with such a backwater planet, anyway? And what’s the connection to the spy Burgundy just rescued?
What’s worth fighting an interstellar war to obtain? Come along and find out what secrets await!
