THE MASK OF ETERNITY by Jack Mackenzie
A FORGOTTEN WORLD, A POWERFUL ARTIFACT AND A GALAXY ON THE BRINK OF WAR
Solis DeLacey, captain of the ACSC ship BOSTON, has been sent to a newly discovered world rich in natural resources. But one ship and her crew has already gone missing while surveying the planet and the finger of suspicion is pointing directly to the ACSC`s sworn enemy, the Orion Hegemony.
DeLacey, her crew and a ship full of scientists find a world teeming with life including the enigmatic natives, the Shum. But with the arrival of a Hegemony vessel crewed by Da’baa’kh, ruthless, animal-like soldiers, the game changes. The Da’baa’kh are hell bent on finding an ancient treasure – an artifact powerful enough to bring the entire ACSC to its knees.
Now DeLacey must discover its secret and defeat her enemies before the galaxy is plunged into total war.

Korax is a colony world beset by problems. Pirates have targeted the world for plunder, a race of wandering alien nomads have made themselves at home and the colony’s new governor seems intent on making enemies of just about everyone.
Jefferson Odett would rather be out on the rim, fighting the war for humanity, but a misadventure has landed him here. Now he has to try to secure a planet that does not want its new governor, the aliens who have moved in, or the platoon of undisciplined soldiers under Odett’s command. The only thing the colony seems to want is the pirate that Odett has been ordered to kill.

The Old New Ensign by Jack Mackenzie

If he failed, he was sure to end up on the front lines in the battle with the alien Kreoch. All that stood between these two fates was a mystery concerning the theft the Admiral’s stasis chamber door. He would follow the thieves and maybe, just maybe, he’d survive long enough to solve the mystery. Set in the same universe as Debt’s Pledge, Jack Mackenzie delights us with this quirky tale of a lowly medic and the mystery surrounding the Old New Ensign.

Debt’s Pledge by Jack Mackenzie
He was a soldier without a war, alone and unwanted, until he discovered an alien enemy…
Jefferson Odett found a skull on a blasted world on the edge of human space, just before the campaign against the rebel stationers was called off. A skull that was not human. When the transport taking him home is attacked by a strange alien vessel, crewed by fearsome creatures, Odett barely manages to escape with his life.
Convinced the skull he found was from the same species as the aliens who attacked his transport, Odett believes they represent a deadly threat to humanity. The commanders of Earth’s military disagree and dismiss his claim. They send him to a remote outpost of a few hundred colonists. Saddled with a platoon of undisciplined and mostly green soldiers, Odett finds himself in an unenviable command on a backwater world.
But there is something else on this forgotten world — something frightening that he has encountered before. Odett and his platoon of green soldiers, hard cases and discipline problems are all that stand between the colonists and an alien army of unspeakable power who will kill any species that gets in their way.
Jack Mackenzie delivers an action-packed Science Fiction adventure with plenty of heart, heroes, danger and excitement.
