The Black — one story, best read in this order
The Emergence War
Character-forward military SF — 18 books
A civil war reignited by a massacre nobody will own, a faceless fleet that comes down out of the black and begins the harvest, an army printed from one veteran's mind because it never has to be grieved, and the reckoning that follows. Eighteen books, one continuous story, told in four movements.

The Reserve
Fracture-era military SF — 4 books
Weeks before the Fracture ignites, the Rim sends its training fleet — every hull nobody wants, crewed by cadets and recalled pensioners — on a milk-run exam cruise. Then the real fleets burn in harbour, and the junk armada at the system's edge is the only formation left. Four books, one war, one outsider ordered to hold it together.

The Whisper Line
Military SF shorts with a twist — 8 books
The same war as The Reserve, fought from other hulls: an ore mill's sensor compartment, a destroyer's plot, a gun that bears through seventy-one degrees of sky. Eight standalone short stories of the Fracture, each complete in one sitting, each turning on its last page. No narrator sees the whole war.

Tales from the Black
Synthetic-POV military SF shorts — 6 books
Short dispatches from the bottom of the war in The Black. Triage synthetics, boxed and woken disaster after disaster to hold shattered warships together, build language, names and grief on a channel no human monitors, then spend themselves in the dark. Six stories, one small cohort, and the door into the saga.
