Sometimes the perfect soldier isn't what you expect -- neither is the perfect lover.
In 2207, humanity is the dominant force in the galaxy. The Syndicate governs the humans, and its leader, Joren -- a former Marine sharpshooter -- oversees it all.
Distress Signal: Captain Carter Therres doesn’t know what to expect aboard the Maelstrom, but it sure as hell isn’t the gorgeous man waiting in the maintenance ductwork. Ash Mracek’s past involves something much more sinister than the Academy bombing for which he was framed. Now it’s a race to save Ash before their enemies can take them out of the picture for good.
Kill Fee: When former Syndicate leader Joren joins his brother, scientist Ash Mracek, and Captain Carter Therres on the lawless planet of Geren in search of allies, he comes into the sights of an assassin. Morgan Reid is a gun for hire, but when his latest contract comes through, he breaks both of the rules he’s always kept: never mix business with pleasure, and never make eye contact with the target.
Silent Running: Jordan Sawyer, the pilot, is focused, determined, and smarter than she lets on. Which is why Eric Kane wants her so much. Major Kyle Cortez has set his own sights on Coriolis’ curvy pilot as well. It’s up to Jordan to get them all on the same page. Or bed. Either works.
Modus Operandi: Geren is a vast network of prisons that was once the Syndicate’s pride and joy. Now it’s a hotbed of crime. The perfect place to enlist a group of former Marines and set up a base of operations. The trick is to do it without alerting anyone -- including the criminal residents of Geren -- that Joren’s still alive.
"I highly recommend this one if you love M/M and a great space adventure."
"The 'fireworks' and action are wonderful, the personal interactions perfect, and the ending… well, all I'll say is that the final little twists were very nice and I was a very happy camper when I closed the book. If you like grand space adventures with the fate of several planets hanging in the balance, if you enjoy reading about the personal relationships that drive the men in charge, and if you're looking for a hot read and a very satisfying ending to the 'Coriolis' series, then you will probably like this."
-- Serena, Rainbow Book Reviews
LR Cafe Best of 2012 Award Nominee: Best Book of 2012
"Mychael Black certainly knows how to pen a hot D/s scene between two men... This went from smexy to blazing hot within a few pages. This m/m science fiction book is recommended to kinky readers who love the threat to bare it all in public."
LR Cafe Best of 2013 Award Nominee: Best Science Fiction/Futuristic
"When two former lovers reunite, more than just sparks fly. This story is fast, furious and smexy. This is one of the best kinds of erotic fun."
"This is a fast paced drama that never loses momentum from the first page to the last. Sexy, alpha characters keep the plotline moving forward. The Coriolis series should be read in order to fully appreciate the cast and storyline. Hot and heavy and very sexy, Kill Fee sizzles."
"...the three of them very quickly figure out how they fit together. Add in some hot pursuit by Revenants, the revelations about a traitor on board the Coriolis, and a couple of life-threatening situations, and yet another very exciting space-adventure in this series will unfold right before your eyes."
"The author is on point with the arousing scenes in this latest addition of the Coriolis series... she can write a sex scene which takes a reader from cold to blazing horniness in less than three sentences. This m/m space opera is recommended for kinky readers who love the dirty talking."
"The "fireworks" and action are wonderful, the personal interactions perfect, and the ending -- well, all I'll say is that the final little twists were very nice and I was a very happy camper when I closed the book."

Excerpt from Distress Signal
The Hilasah Sector. What the hell was so special about one scientist that the Syndicate would spend precious resources keeping him safe in no-man's-land? And why in God's name did the Revenants attack a scientific research vessel at all?
Carter didn't like the sound of this. He slipped into the communication room and waited until Joren came into view on the holo. "Talk to me."
Joren grimaced. "I knew you wouldn't let this go without more."
"I'm going to get him, but I want to know why the hell Revenants want this man dead so bad."
"Dr. Mracek has been researching the key to how Revenants survive in dark space, and how we can use that against them. He's found something, but then the attack happened. The whole station's gone silent."
Carter sighed. "No wonder they want to kill him. What's this about blowing up the Academy years ago?"
"Dr. Mracek was a professor there, but some of his colleagues felt he had too much sway. Someone set off explosions that leveled an entire research wing and blamed it on Mracek. The professor was in another area and the original saboteur was caught, but others sought to make the professor pay for one of their own going down. We had to get him out. Carter, Mracek hasn't been around humans since then. His only contact has been with me via holo. I don't know what kind of reception you're going to get, but don't let him die."
"I won't."
"Captain, we're nearing the Hilasah Sector," Jordan announced over the speaker.
"On my way." Carter turned back to Joren. "We'll get him."
"Good."
Carter switched off the holo and went back to the bridge. He stood near Jordan, watching out the window while his pilot took them into the unnervingly quiet sector.
"Any sign of Revenants?"
"We've got one scout and three raider ships, all docked."
"Fuck. Okay, get us close enough for the transport."
Carter signaled to several of his soldiers who had already suited up in their armor and gathered outside the elevator. He led them down to the shuttle bay where they all grabbed their weapons. Then they loaded onto the transport. Carter took the pilot's seat, and within a few minutes they had left the Coriolis and were nearing the Maelstrom.
"Jesus," one of the soldiers, First Lieutenant Kane, muttered. "They really tore this place apart for this guy."
"Yeah."
Carter managed to maneuver the transport into a docking bay, slipping through the airlock barrier without detection. He had the feeling the Revenants weren't too worried about backup. Hell, from the looks of things as he and his men stepped out of the transport, Carter figured the Revenants didn't plan on leaving any soul alive.
"Three that way," he ordered, pointing to one passage. "The other two, with me. We need to find the professor and get the hell out of here."
The hall leading out of the docking bay emptied into a room that looked like a scene from a horror movie. Blood coated nearly every surface, and bodies lay strewn all over the room. Carter crouched in front of one -- a Tessi, by the looks of her.
"Fuck, what did this doc do to piss off the Revenants?"
"Long story," Carter said. He stood and surveyed the room. "Escape pods, though none have been fired. Fan out. We need to find --"
A soft thump high on the wall drew Carter's attention to a grated cover. "Maintenance," he muttered. He motioned for his men to watch the doorway. Then he approached the maintenance shaft.
"I'm Captain Therres, Local Marines." When he didn't get an answer, Carter continued. "We're here on behalf of the Syndicate."
Another bump sounded a little louder, and a face appeared behind the grate. Carter couldn't make out the features, though it was definitely a man. A moment later, the grate wiggled and swung open. A slim man with a long, light brown braid and wire-rimmed glasses dropped to the floor with surprising grace.
"We're looking for Dr. Mracek," Carter said. "Look, I know you're scared --"
"Scared?" The man whirled around, and Carter barely managed to keep his jaw from hitting the floor. Scientists weren't supposed to be sexy. Were they? "Scared? My entire staff is dead! Revenants are tearing apart my station! Buddy, scared doesn't begin to touch it!"
"Hey!" Carter grabbed the man's shoulders, realizing -- belatedly -- that the man was armed. An arc pistol pressed to Carter's stomach. He glanced down, then back up into wild hazel eyes behind those glasses. "I'm not the enemy."
"I've had more than my share of humans as enemies."
Recognition clicked in Carter's brain. "Dr. Mracek?"
The man -- the professor -- nodded, the motion jerky.
"We're here to rescue you. Joren sent us."
