Patriots

In a time of interstellar war between the Terran Alliance and the Colonial Earth Alliance, a team of young soldiers enters a secret facility, and find more than they bargained for. From schizophrenic computers to mechlizards, from sociopathic terrorists to a device that can stop time itself, this book spins a tale of adventure, intrigue, and even horror, peppered with laughs.

Every story has two sides. This one is no exception. The first part chronicles the lives of early Mars colonists. The second part describes a fight to save the newly formed government of Kinji from terrorists. The third part, concurrent with Traitors in Waiting, shows a team of CEA scientists developing a weapon that could end the war once and for all... or destroy humanity in the process.

Sometimes a story has more than two sides—this one, for example. When both sides in an intergalactic war believe the other side is engaged in terrorism, only one thing is certain: both sides are wrong; the truth lies beyond the veil. When worlds collide, only two things are certain: everything you thought you knew is wrong, and the people you thought you knew are no longer who they appear to be.

A short story about Tessa (the android) building a robot Santa Claus and sending him back in time to meet (Saint) Nicholas of Myra. The story is a touching Christmas story, laced with both liturgical and general humor, and peppered with bits of Latin.
