"A fool assumes his allies are immune to treason's seduction." Three years after the Ossurian War, the Erobian Alliance begins to fracture. In an attempt to diffuse an explosive hostage situation and prevent a war between 3 star systems, the Torian High General turns to his most effective tool: the Earthling Brandon Foss. Brandon finds himself thrust into a high-stakes game of interstellar diplomacy which will test his gamesmanship as well as his battle skills. Unfortunately, far-off systems aren't the only place where the flames of dissention spark. The twin planets of Tora enter into a decisive struggle as Belle-ub, the red Sheen leader who has usurped control of Amulen, attempts to take over Banor as well. A violent struggle between the Sheen factions ensues, which entangles Derek-a man only trying to return to his hippie roots-who must now face his own defining test of character. All the while, something mysterious begins happening to the Torian humans. Something that might even explain much of the burgeoning strife in the Erobian Sphere. Consequently, their list of enemies grows. It's a shame the only ones who fail realize it are the humans... Book 4 of The Torian Reclamation is the continuation of a 39-year misadventure for Brandon Foss. Along the way he finds he has not only become the hope of an alien military force, but also a generation of humans who can only dream of one day returning to their ancestral home world.

"Protecting your home is most efficiently accomplished from your enemy's front yard." The unknown outside enemy has clearly gained a foothold within the Erobian Sphere. What's not clear is just how far they have come, where they are hiding, and which worlds have conceded an alliance with them. That is exactly what the High General intends to discover when he sends his Earthling friend Brandon Foss out on a special mission. The plan has its risks, but it may be the only way to flush the enemy into a confrontation away from Torian space. Unbeknownst to them, three 2nd generation Earthlings and their unique pet have also ventured across the sphere, where they unwittingly tread on a hidden enemy base. Jumper, Alan, and Kayla's botched vacation plans deposit them at the point of the enemy's farthest advancement. It was deception which landed them in these rocky circumstances, and more will be required to get them out-but they have no way of knowing their actions are affecting the course of the entire war. And oh yeah. There's: - Intense space battles- Aliens with unusual attributes- Technology advancements and "enlightening" spiritual revelations- Climbing, running, ducking, shooting, hovering, crouching, pouncing- And of course, an evil flute that sounds like a drum Book 3 of The Torian Reclamation is the continuation of a 39-year misadventure for Brandon Foss. Along the way he finds he has not only become the hope of an alien military force, but also a generation of humans who can only dream of one day returning to their ancestral home world.

"Freedom left unchallenged is an undervalued asset." The alien game Polwar appears to have accomplished its sinister purpose. Addiction is now widespread across the Erobian Sphere, subduing the masses. It is the optimal time for an outside enemy attack. The obvious target is the Tora system, where a power-hungry new leader has glorified the game to the point of gathering half the sphere for an interstellar tournament. Especially since not all attendees are arriving with pure intent. Twenty-five years has passed since the first Amulen Earthlings were revived. A second generation of humans is now in young adulthood, including Derek's thrill-seeking son Jumper-whose skill at polwar is comparable to Brandon Foss's skill at military tactics. The High General is about to discover his desperate need of both. Book 2 of The Torian Reclamation is the continuation of a 39-year misadventure for Brandon Foss. Along the way he finds he has not only become the hope of an alien military force, but also a generation of humans who can only dream of one day returning to their ancestral home world.

"Revenge is only justice when it can be administered without hatred." The spectacular Cardinal-4 space station overlooks Amulen and Banor, twin worlds sharing the same orbit. It is the pinnacle of Torian achievement and a wonder of the Erobian Sphere. But not all foreign visitors are arriving with pure intent. A Torian half-breed suspected of being the first prophet in 300 years warns of an evil infection in the galaxy. It comes in the form of a game. He also pushes the radical agenda of reviving a primitive group of aliens from a planet outside the sphere known as Earth. Brandon Foss, an unhappily married Virginian, awakens to discover he has been kept in cryonic preservation on Amulen for two decades along with hundreds of others. Though humans are physically frail, Brandon's quick reflexes and ingenuity during a surprise interstellar attack result in the Earth abductees drawing attention from an additional group: the Torian military, when planning their retaliation. Book 1 of The Torian Reclamation is the beginning of a 39-year misadventure for Brandon Foss. Along the way he finds he has not only become the hope of an alien military force, but also a generation of humans who can only dream of one day returning to their ancestral home world.
