The Complete Planetwalker Trilogy
For a thousand years, the generation ship Conestoga has carried a quarter of a million people towards Alamea—a promised world they have been raised to inherit.
Now, at last, their journey is coming to an end.
But when Imogen Hart’s best friend dies just before their arrival, no one will tell her why. Refusing to accept the official silence, the young Pioneer begins searching for answers. What she uncovers draws her into a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of the ship—and threatens not only the mission, but everyone aboard it.
As the struggle spreads from Conestoga to the world below, Imogen and her allies must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the truth, for one another, and for the right to determine their own future.
“I was hooked on this book from the first page.”

The Challenger
Part One of the Planetwalker Trilogy
I can play along. Be Imogen Hart, the Planetwalker. Imogen Hart, the aerobatics champion. But all of that comes second to my most important mission: to learn why Ellinor Bowman died.
Things are going wrong for AI nerd Imogen Hart. Her best friend takes her own life just as they prepare to set foot on planet Alamea-mankind’s new home. When the ruling elite aboard the colonial spaceship Conestoga attempt to rewrite the past, Imogen connects the dots and uncovers an age-old secret that threatens the future of a quarter of a million passengers.
Her destiny shattered, Imogen must employ every dirty trick in her arsenal and fight for the truth. But shaking things up turns out to be much more dangerous than Imogen ever imagined-and time is running out.
Fans of Andy Weir’s Artemis, Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, Marie Liu’s Warcross, and Veronica Roth’s Divergent will enjoy this science fiction adventure and the carefully crafted world of Conestoga.
Available as e-book or paperback.
The Planetwalker
Part Two of the Planetwalker Trilogy
Marooned on the planet Alamea, Pioneer Imogen Hart and her team have to find a way back aboard the spaceship Conestoga-their home. But their arrival on the planet has not gone unnoticed. The wild beasts of the jungle are watching, and war is brewing between the two nations already inhabiting the planet. The unwelcome visitors could quickly become the spark that lights the fuse.
Imogen soon finds herself a pawn and a prize in the race for world domination. Will she be in time to stave off disaster?

The Mutineer
Part Three of the Planetwalker Trilogy
Survival is only the beginning. Imogen Hart waits to be executed at the hands of the warrior nation Carran. Aboard the colonial spacecraft Conestoga, truth is running out of allies – or so it seems. As war looms both above and below, pockets of resistance both on Alamea and aboard Conestoga hold the rising threat at bay. Soon enough, everyone will have to make a choice: fight for truth, or face annihilation.
Who will stand and who will fall in the final battle for control?
