Book Description
Tan Skulks is a man on a mission. Except he’s not really a man and now he’s not sure what his mission is any more. Summoned to the ancient city of Hardened to investigate a series of murders, he finds that the grisly deaths are only a tiny part of the city’s problems. While a vicious beast stalks the streets, a Rat God is trying to subvert the city. Wizards and assassins lurk in the most unwelcome of places. Now the indomitable Skulks must follow a series of leads to find out who or what is behind this catalogue of mischief. As a Wielder, he is never far from trouble—much of it of his own making. Using his powers of stealth and a not-quite-human ability to drink, steal, cheat and fleece his way through a city full of cynical citizens, Skulks must race against time to solve the mystery. Can he do it and escape with his thieving mitts intact? Tan Skulks is a unique fantasy tale of detective work, thievery and magic, with added doses of humour, larceny and burglary. This book was originally published under the author name Max Anthony.

Book Description
Having dispatched the recent threat to the ancient city of Hardened with a steel toe-cap up the rear end and the pointy bit of a dagger in its eye, the Wielder Tan Skulks finds himself promoted to high office. With new responsibilities come new opportunities and Skulks finds himself challenged by mad wizards, a master thief and on top of that, someone is most definitely trying to kill him. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a top-secret mission which only a man of Skulks’ calibre has any hope of completing. Dastardly miscreants are everywhere and it’s a good job Skulks is one of them, because it’s going to take all his powers of cunning, guile, stealth and outright thievery to emerge from this one moderately unscathed. Can he face the Demon King and come up smelling of roses and stolen coins? This book was originally published under the author name Max Anthony.

The Aranol. Death comes to everything. With tenacity and fearless determination, the human Confederation has fought against the overwhelming forces of the Vraxar. Still the aliens keep on coming. Following the events on New Earth, a chance sighting presents an opportunity too good to ignore. One of the Vraxar’s remaining capital ships – Ix-Gastiol – is located in close orbit around a star. Fleet Admiral Duggan prepares to strike against the mightiest of the alien vessels. With a strong fleet of warships assembled and an Obsidiar bomb to back them up, he believes success is within reach. However, the Vraxar have existed for millennia and Ix-Gastiol has overseen the extinction of a hundred species. This will be no easy mission. When everything goes badly, catastrophically wrong, it’s left to Captain Charlie Blake and Lieutenant Eric McKinney to put it right. Trapped within the endless depths of an alien spaceship, they must lead a small squad to achieve the impossible and somehow finish what an entire fleet failed to accomplish. Ix-Gastiol holds clues for the resourceful to find. What Blake and McKinney unearth could be the most important discovery of the war, but only if they can escape with the information.

Book Description
God Ship. The tormentor of worlds. For thousands of years, the Vraxar have brought ruin and misery across the universe. Each species they find has met the same fate – extinction and conversion into new soldiers for their ranks. An upstart race – humanity – has wiped out the aliens’ advance fleet. The Vraxar will not give up - they must clear a way through Confederation Space in preparation for their future wars. Captain Charlie Blake is always in the wrong place at the right time. He’s given a mission – take a heavily-armed warship and investigate an anomaly on a distant planet. Blake and his crew locate a catastrophically-damaged enemy Neutraliser, and there’s no record of an engagement with human forces. Lieutenant Eric McKinney and his troops are left with the task of getting inside and finding answers. What they discover deep within the huge spaceship gives an idea of the horrors to come. The Vraxar have summoned one of their capital ships. Ix-Gorghal has arrived and even with assistance from an incredibly-powerful Ghast battleship, it will take every ounce of Space Corps firepower, ingenuity and plain old guts to survive the first punishing encounters. God Ship is a high-action science fiction adventure and the third book in the Obsidiar Fleet series.
