Book excerpt: In the first book of his JAG in Space series, New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell combines lived experience with spaceborne adventure in a U.S. Navy courtroom drama about honor, duty, and the sins that follow humanity even to the stars... When Ensign Paul Sinclair comes aboard the USS Michaelson for his very first tour, he’s surprised to be named ship’s legal officer. Four weeks of training isn’t much to help him advise on legal issues involving a crew of 200. But serving on a spacegoing warship requires he learn fast, even surrounded by strangers and juggling expectations from an absentee superior, daunting commanders, and a reckless captain. When the Michaelson comes into catastrophic contact with another vessel, Paul must answer his captain on what the law permits in the dark of space, even if it leads to trouble. But when a court-martial convenes shortly afterward, only he can decide if justice demands he risk his career, too...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell continues his JAG in Space series as a young Legal Officer seeks justice as others try to corrupt it. Newly commissioned Lieutenant Junior Grade Paul Sinclair is acclimating himself both to his duties aboard USS Michaelson and to his growing relationship with fellow sailor Jen Shen. Both situations require serious consideration. But when a fiery explosion rips through the Forward Engineering section, Sinclair doesn’t think, he acts—leading his people into the fire. And though he and his people survive, others do not. The brass want answers. Unfortunately, Paul suspects the blame for the disaster lands on a fast-rising officer whose incompetence is covered up by high-ranking connections. Worse still, Shen’s fiercely protective father—a captain of his own ship—exonerates the accused in the initial investigation. Now, Sinclair must walk a razor’s edge between seeing justice done and watching his entire life go down in flames. “Absorbing and credible...Outstanding suspense, realism, and characterization...First-rate military SF.”—Booklist “A rock-solid courtroom drama...[Campbell] builds the story's suspense expertly...This one will keep you turning the pages with the proverbial bated breath.”—SF Reviews

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling writer of Tom Clancy's Op-Center series, a relentlessly paced techno-thriller that plunges readers into the icy depths of the Antarctic. An experimental U.S. Submarine, the Tempest D, with a propulsion system five-times-faster than traditional drives is to be tested in the remote South Polar waters. Chinese intelligence learns of the test and sends their own submarine to observe. When an underwater collision causes the sumarines to become trapped under the Antarctic ice, they need each other to survive. Meanwhile, a U.S. military team codenamed L.A.S.E.R.-- Land Air Sea Emergency Rescue-- is sent on an unprecedented rescue mission . . . under the Polar cap, every minute matters. Combining inernational political intrigue, exotic locales and insider details, Tempest Down delivers the same high-tech edge that Jeff Rovin brings to Tom Clancy's Op-Center books.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Paul Sinclair must adjust to his new position on the warship USS Michaelson--juggling his Legal Officer responsibilities and his personal life, as his relationship with girlfriend Jen Shen intensifies. When an explosion takes out most of Forward Engineering, Sinclair leads the effort to extinguish the fire. He's practically a hero. But when Captain Shen, Jen’s father, is brought in to conduct an investigation, it seems that he’s gunning for his daughter’s suitor. Soon Sinclair uncovers evidence that points to a cover-up—involving a rising star in the officer corps. His evidence is circumstantial, and the suspect is the son of a powerful vice admiral. Sinclair is determined to see justice done, but is he willing to risk his name, his career, and his future among the stars?

Book excerpt: The Imperial Navy has long been at war. It is a well-oiled machine, a mighty galactic power in which nothing can go wrong. Enter Pre-Private Joseph Fux, self-proclaimed Idiot, Second Class. When Fux arrives on board the light frigate UPS Spitz, things immediately begin to go wrong. It’s not Fux’s fault. It never is. Accidents just happen when he’s around, despite the best intentions. And as the always-cheerful Fux bungles his way through one job after another, he throws the whole ship and its orderly crew into chaos. No one is left unscathed: not the responsible and lonely Lt. Lipton, grieving for his lost love; not the mercilessly logical Doctor Nightingale, who may or may not be Lipton’s current romantic interest; not the overzealous Ensign Berseker, or the pompous political officer, Commander Kapust. Not even the hidden, monstrous Captain. Knowingly or not, Fux is an agent of resistance, his blind stupidity the only sane response to the insanity of war. Something’s gotta give, and the tiny spanner-in-the-works that is Fux threatens at last to destroy the entire machinery of the Galactic Empire . . .
