To the Lifeboats [Book 1]
Some heros come into being under pressure. Others show their mettle early on. And then there are the rare few who reach dizzying heights, only to fall from grace. All three exist aboard the Lifeboat Augusta, where they struggle with extraordinary circumstances in an environment none of them ever expected to experience first hand.

Randy Tagget is afraid, and he has every reason to be. The entire human race is on the verge of being wiped out, save for a small number of scientists, engineers, and technology experts who have a slim chance at survival in space. If they can overcome the failings of their species, they may earn an opportunity to repopulate the earth. Provided they can stay alive to do it.

Randy's protector is Keisha Miller, a smart, driven US Air Force pilot who accepts a new, temporary assignment as an astronaut. The posting gives her a ringside seat for the end of the world, and a real chance at being one of the few with the chance to rebuild an entire civilization from scratch.

Will humanity blink out like a light, or survive the onslaught from deep space and return triumphantly to the top of the food chain? Only time, Randy Tagget, and Keisha Miller can decide the fate of humankind for sure - if they survive the Lifeboat Augusta.

Just About Armageddon [Book 2]
The earth is wrapped in a thick blanket of dense, dirt-infused cloud cover. It is the aftereffect of a massive slab of space debris slamming into the planet - potentially exterminating all animal life on the surface. Randy Tagget and several hundred survivors populate the Lifeboat Augusta, one of three orbiting space platforms intended to preserve human life. Tagget and his counterpart, Keisha Miller launched into space with every intention of returning to earth as soon as it was safe. Their assigned role was to work with their fellow survivors to re-establish the species on terra firma. That goal is not shared by everyone on board the lifeboat, however. Governor Raphael Fuentes has other plans. Nefarious plans he shares with no one, yet he pursues them with increasingly ruthless abandon. Can Tagget and Miller survive the unavoidable conflict to come? Will Governor Fuentes prevail? Only time, luck, and nerve-shattering risk will determine the future for Tagget, MIller, Fuentes, and the last traumatized members of the human race.

Isle of Safety [Book 3]
Randy Tagget and Keisha Miller have escaped the Augusta and the increasingly unbalanced and dictatorial, Governor Fuentes, but where to go? Their options are limited and bleak. Find another lifeboat to dock with, or die. And what of their former home? Can Tagget and Miller find the help they'll need to wrest the Augusta from Governor Fuentes' control? The future of their fellow survivors hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking.

Binary Choices [Book 4]
Randy Tagget and Keisha Miller return to the Augusta from their self-imposed exile, with orbital nomad Pierre Martin in tow. The environment has changed in their absence and the experiment in human survival is preparing to move into Phase III. Yet even as they close in on their goal of returning to the surface of the planet to re-establish a human presence on earth, the risks inherent with achieving that goal become increasingly clear and intimidatingly unavoidable.

Survival of the Fittest [Book 5]
The human instinct for survival is strong, especially when the circumstances are dire. When five women and two men return to earth as part of a disjointed and meager population, with the intent of completing a barely conceivable mission of reestablishing themselves on the surface and repopulating the planet, dire is an understatement. Short on food, tools, medicine, and options the last members of the human race face stiff odds and certain danger. As the last capsule full of humans depart their orbiting lifeboat for a return to earth's surface, nothing is as it should. Safety margins are slim, virtually every aspect of reentry and survival are in question, yet Randy Tagget, Keisha Miller and their five fellow travelers have little choice. It's time to go home and do their best. The question remains however, is their best good enough, or will they go the way of the billions who came before them and lost a celestial roll of the dice? This fifth installment brings about the conclusion of the story where life and death walk hand in hand, and perhaps the worst fate of all is waiting for the inevitable, while recognizing they are powerless to affect the outcome one way or another - or are they?
