After six years of bloody conflict the war between France and England is finally over. But after witnessing the brutal murder of his warriors by a company of redcoats, consumed by a desire for revenge, for Shingas the fight against the hated English goes on. Two hundred miles to the east on an isolated farmstead, Esther an indentured servant, wooed by the prospect of being released from the shackles of servitude, agrees to marry the farmer’s eldest son, a simpleton, in exchange for her freedom. Unwittingly fate brings them together and, on her wedding day Esther is abducted by the war-chief and taken back to his village. Befriended by an old squaw and a young French girl, a captive like herself, Esther accepts her plight and quickly assimilates herself into the ways and customs of her captors. All this changes however when, seeing her bathing naked in the river, Shingas forces himself on her. Horrified by this violation, when the opportunity to escape comes Esther seizes it and together with the young French girl she makes her bid for freedom. Unfortunately, her hopes are quickly dashed when she and the girl are re-captured by Shingas. Nine months later she gives birth to his child. With discontent growing amongst the tribes as the English settlements encroach deeper into their lands, Shingas leads an attack against an English fort and burns it to the ground. Appalled by this act of hostility and determined to punish those responsible, the English send an army against the Indians. Weeks later, deep in the wilderness at a place called Bushy Run, redskins and redcoats are joined in battle and in the space of a single day the fate of a nation is decided. Rescued by the victorious English, and faced with the prospect of returning to a life of servitude, Esther seizes the opportunity to choose her own destiny.

THE STARCHILD TRILOGY begins with building a Space Launch Loop enabling massive movement off Earth and subsequent settlement of Cislunar-Space, Mars, and beyond. SLINGSHOT is the story of the struggle behind constructing the largest machine ever built stretching between Baker and Jarvis Islands in the Equatorial Pacific, and how the men and women behind Slingshot overcome the project's physical, economic, and human obstacles. In THE STARCHILD COMPACT, a team exploring Saturn's moon Iapetus discovers it to be a derelict starship, and meets the Founders, remnants of an ancient, advanced race, the Ectarians, that arrived in the Solar System 150,000 years ago. Together, they create the Starchild Institute governed by a document they call the Starchild Compact to further develop and introduce Ectarian technology to the Solar System.

As human colonies expand into the Solar System, they form a governing coalition: THE IAPETUS FEDERATION. While a united Islam pursues a global Jihad that rages across the planet putting millions to the sword, the Federation enables an exodus from Earth using artificial wormholes.
