The Complete Audacity Saga Digital Box Set: Books 1 - 5: A space opera adventure
A dangerous new passenger. A ship full of elite women marines. A package containing a terrible secret.
Over 2000 pages of action, adventure, and eyebrow raises.
A young commander of a shadowy organization on a quest for vengeance...
A cyborg mercenary with a secret mission he couldn't refuse...
When their paths cross, she'll either be his savior... or his end.
Duty must be weighed against compassion, mission against morals.
And a greater evil is rising that will require them to work together... or lose everything.
Meet Kael disgruntled mercenary and glorified guard of doors. Forced into a life he would never have chosen as a cyborg merc, he's lost not only his freedom but also his ability to feel anything—or appreciate the opposite sex—because of his cybernetic augmentations. That is, until last week when a renegade scientist blew the lock off his testosterone and reopened his eyes.
A chance to free himself has landed in Kael's lap. He can run and hope his "employers" forget he was ever born. He just needs to get a ride off this backwater planet and deliver the strange capsule that's been foisted on him. One last mission.
Unfortunately for Kael, there's only one ride off this planet. And it's on the starship Audacity, led by famed war veteran Commander Ellen Ryu and her elite marines. Dangerous, competent, well-trained, female marines.
Commander Ryu is not to be trifled with, and she doesn't trust easily. And she certainly doesn't appreciate flirting. As an enemy rises to face them both, Ryu could be Kael's savior—or the one to finally end him.
Because these women are on a hidden mission to seek and destroy abuses of technology anywhere in the galaxy.
Abuses like the strange capsule hidden in his cabin.
Reader “I'm retired military. I read a LOT of sci -fi military books. Some pretty good,some not so much. I realize that for fiction, you need to suspend belief on some......this book is not one of those! Great pace, believable characters, great action without bogging down in details. Only complaint? I finished it to fast. Already have the next book!” - Reader Review of The Empress Capsule
“I found this book and chose it on a whim, couldn't put it down. I liked the character mix… It was a great finish, in fact it was a great read throughout. Oh and by the way I'm in my sixth decade and have read a shed load of sci-fi and this is up with Asimov!!!” - Reader Review of The Empress Capsule

loved this series
I hope she writes more of their adventures. I’d like to see Ellen get her spark back fully. Well written, there’s a lot of exposition, but it’s needed, and that’s pretty typical for space operas. As long as it’s done well and with balance, I enjoy it. She sure puts these characters through their paces. Highly recommend.
