Janissaries
Some days it just didn't pay to be a soldier. Captain Rick Galloway and his men had been talked into volunteering for a
dangeorus mission‑‑only to be ruthlessly abandoned when faceless CIA higher‑ups pulled the plug on the operation.
They were cut off in hostile teritory, with local troops and their Cuban "advisors" rapidly closing in. And then the alien
spaceship landed...
Clan and Crown and Storms of Victory
He didn't want to conquer the world. He had to. Captain Rick Galloway, formerly of the US Army, more recently a
mercenary commander, was now Lord Rick on the planet Tran. Rescued by an alien spaceship from certain death when
a mercenary assignment went sour, he and his men were dropped on a world distant from Earth, but inhabited by
humans transplanted in the past from medieval Europe, from Imperial Rome, and from other now‑vanished nations.
Now the time of the Demon Star approaches, whose close approach and fierce heat will render much of Tran uninhabitable. To survive this fiery apocalypse, the warring nations of Tran must be united. Lord Rick doesn't want to conquer the world, but the alternative is certain extinction!

Product ReviewThe story itself read well but, after the three books, left me hanging in the middle of the storyline with (according to the internet) no apparent chance that the author will complete it. Feels like being at the end of book 3 in a 5 or 6 book series.

Product ReviewThe plot and story are OK (Great potential is there). However, the book skips around A LOT. Almost every chapter is a large break in continuity. It took me about 5 paragraphs to get a fuzzy idea about how much time had passed between the last word of the previous chapter and the first word of the next. There were way too many times where past events critical to understanding the current scene had occurred off page. I'm a big reader and routinely reread books 15 or more times. This one won't be reread. If there's another book to follow, I won't buy it.
