"The Rogue Star Series"
Tells the epic tale of the people on the only inhabitable planet of a rogue star, which has been flung out of its galaxy and shoots through inter-galactic nowhere.
The series starts in the "middle ages" of the planet, when people find out about their fate and continues with an attempt to return to their mother galaxy, called the Sky Wheel.
Book One:
The Sky Wheel
Book One of the Rogue Star Series
Long fascinated by the movements of the twelve bodies in the sky, powerful statesman Liege Jyrus Syroon has tracked them for more than twenty years. However, he finds himself conflicted when Lennis Maifa, a young, renegade scientist, seeks refuge in his house for heresy.
Maifa is eager to study Syroon’s measurements in the hope of uncovering proof for his outrageous theories: that their planet is not the center of the universe. What is more, their world and sun are retreating from what Maifa calls “the Sky Wheel” galaxy.
Enthralled by the young man’s ideas, Syroon shelters Maifa from Eminence Aranka, an Inquisitor determined to repress the young man’s discoveries.
When Syroon's blind but high-spirited daughter falls in love with Maifa, Syroon cannot escape a direct confrontation with Aranka, which threatens to result in religious war.
Book Two:
The Gen
Book Two of the Rogue Star Series
A thousand years ago, Lennis Maifa predicted that the people of the “Rogue Star” world would remember him. They do and are building a “generation ship” bearing his name. It will bring a thousand people to the Sky Wheel galaxy, to reconnect them to their origins. The journey will last 10,000 years.
Many think the generation ship is a crazy idea, and an idiotic waste of money and resources. While Kania fights to get a slot on board the ship, Nal wants to blow up the hated vessel. And Dalek, a prisoner of the State of Aran, which leads the generation ship project, finds out that if the ship were to leave, it might turn into a living hell for those trapped on board.

Book Three:
Our Bodies
Book Three of the Rogue Star Series
Jolan Tibidad and his fellow people on Deck 5 live in constant fear of the Originals, who boarded the generation ship Lennis Maifa – the Gen – 7500 years ago. The Originals have isolated themselves on the upper decks and harvest the Deck 5 people for their bodies. They transplant their personalities into them, so that they can live long enough to see the day when the Gen will reach the Sky Wheel galaxy after its 10,000-year journey.
Jolan is devastated as the Originals take his friend Anwa for disembodiment. Jolan thinks him dead, until he gets secret messages from Anwa, telling him of mad Originals and that the upper decks of the Gen are not the paradise that the Deck 5 people think them to be. Together, the friends decide to start a revolution against the Originals, unaware that they are triggering a series of events with terrible consequences.
