Treason, loyalty, and revenge in the heart of deep space. Captain Hollis Ives has gone up against pirates before-specifically, against Captain Mad Dog, the pirates' de facto leader. So when Naval High Command orders an attack on the pirate stronghold, Hollis knows damn well this mission won't be as simple as the Commodore expects. And that's not all-there's someone from the Level, maybe in the navy itself, who wants her very dead.Former naval officer Silas Hunt wanted Mad Dog's help to take out the corruption in the navy. But her plans to strike back go far beyond any revenge he possibly could have dreamed up. Silas has to decide where his loyalties stand, and whatever he chooses, someone he cares for will die for it-either his former friends and crewmates in the navy, or the crew of the Sweet Jenny. And that's only if he survives the naval attack on Blackrock to begin with.Treasure Island meets Master and Commander with a science-fiction twist in R.M. Olson's thrilling new space opera series, The Devil and the Dark.

Two hundred human refugees are about to be slaughtered. There's an assassin on the loose. And an alien leadership war has just broken out, with humans at the centre of it. The day just keeps getting better ...Despite all odds, the rag-tag human diplomatic party, led by Chief Justice Alba Espina, has been rescued and granted asylum by the yibo government. But they're not in the clear yet-with yibo sentiment turning against humans, Alba will have to use every bit of skill and acumen she's gained over her lifetime in politics to not only keep herself and her friends alive, but to save the captive survivors of the diplomatic ship who are still stranded in hostile territory. And even with every skill Alba can bring to bear, that may not be possible without the help of the charming young assassin who, the last time Alba saw her, was threatening to slit Alba's throat.In the meantime, field-scientist Aran Romeu is in a race against time to save his friend before the raider crew who's taken them prisoner decides his friend is more useful as a meal than a hostage. On the plus side, Aran has an enthusiastic raider captain and an eccentric raider scientist on his side. On the minus side, he has no damn idea what he's doing ...

When the human and alien worlds collide, it's anyone's guess if there will be survivors.Chief Justice Alba Espina never expected to see her home system again. But the return of the diplomatic mission survivors to the Joias system may not be as peaceful as they'd hoped. Alba's political rival, General Cavaco, has used her absence to stoke citizens' fears and prejudices of an alien invasion - and he's gunning for a war that Alba knows he can't win. Between Cavaco's political machinations, suspicious aliens, and an uprising in the Rim Moutains, Alba, Savina, and the others will face their biggest challenge yet: preventing the utter destruction of the Joias System.In the meantime, Aran has problems of his own: he has the cure to his best friend's fatal illness, but he can't implement it without Joias technology. He's got to figure out a way to keep his unconscious best friend alive until they reach Villa Nova do Sol, keep his pet land-devil from killing everyone who looks at him sideways, and keep the charak space-parasite from completing a murderous take-over of the raiders' minds. Oh, and keep the raiders from slaughtering their way through the Joias system anyway.

They're trapped in the middle of an alien war-and their only hope of salvation is from the most unlikely of sources.With the survivors of the diplomatic ship finally safe, head diplomat and former Chief Justice Alba Espina can at last turn her attention to finding them a way home.Or so she thinks.And then the vicious raiders who hunt the edges of the alien system turn their sights on the alien capital, and once again, human lives are a potential bargaining chip for the aliens' survival. Now, as Alba struggles to convince the aliens that humanity is worth saving, charming assassin Savina Maya and the government agent sent to hunt her down are thrust into a desperate, brutal guerrilla war to protect the human settlements and take down the aliens and raiders arrayed against them.In the meantime, field-scientist Aran Romeu has finally found the cure he's been desperately searching for-but doing so required him to sign on as raider crew. Now he's got to find a way to keep his exceptionally bloodthirsty raider captain from burning the entire system to the ground, before everyone he cares about is killed.

The Joias System-and all of humanity-is in deadly peril.The only way the motley group of human survivors, led by former diplomat Alba Espina, can prevent a massacre is to destroy the aliens' portal mechanism. But for a rag-tag party more skilled in diplomacy than demolition, stranded in an unfamiliar system, with both human and alien soldiers on their trail after their desperate escape from the aliens' capital-it seems like an impossible task.And those aren't the only complications. There are other aliens in this system as well, ones that see humans not as enemies, but as prey. They're apex predators, and once they're on the hunt, they never let up. And they've caught the humans' scent ...Uncertainty Principle is book three in the Singularity series, R.M. Olson's action-packed, epic space opera.

The Verity is just a ship of the line, but for Stacks-born Captain Hollis Ives, it's not just her first command.
