Rika is mech-meat, a cyborg killing machine, created by the Genevian military and cast aside when the war was lost.This volume contains the first three novels of the Rika’s Marauders series: Rika Outcast, Rika Redeemed, and Rika Triumphant.

Rika is mech-meat, a cyborg killing machine, created by the Genevian military and cast aside when the war was lost. Now she slings cargo on Dekar Station, falling deeper in debt as she struggles to make enough money to keep her cybernetic body functioning. The local gangs would love to have her join their ranks, and the takings would pay her bills, but the only thing Rika hates more than what she's become, is killing for others. But morals don't buy repairs and she's at the point of utter desperation when her loan holder cashes in her debt and sells her to the highest bidder.

Rika is a scout mech. Once human, now she is the property of the Genevian military. Rika's crime was small, stealing food. But when faced with a five-year prison term, or conscription in the Genevian military, she chose war. She had no idea what that conscription would entail. Now little of Rika's human body remains, and she serves as an SMI-2 scout mech, the meat inside a cyborg body. She, and others like her, are sent in ahead of the human soldiers to tip the scales of war.

Tanis Richards, commander of the TSS Kirby Jones and her crew are at the tail end of a long patrol on the fringes of the Terran Hegemony when they come across a freighter suspected of smuggling goods out of InnerSol. The Norse Wind looks like just another dumpy cargo ship hauling goods across the Sol System, but someone up the chain thinks the vessel is worth looking into. Tanis and her boarding team gear up for another routine inspection that turns into anything but as the two crews struggle for supremacy out in the cold dark between worlds.

Everyone deserves a day off, right? That's just what Jessica and Cheeky are enjoying when a pair of old "friends" show up and force them to smuggle weapons into the Serenity System. On their own with just a small interstellar pinnace at their disposal, Jessica and Cheeky aren't going to let someone else force them to smuggle weapons (especially when there's no profit in it for them), and they take control of their ship and escape. Unfortunately, they still end up in the Serenity System...with the weapons.

After near disaster trying to escape the Transcend at the Grey Wolf Star, Jessica and the crew of the Sabrina find themselves thousands of light years from their intended destination, deep in the Perseus Arm, at one of the furthest colonized worlds in the galaxy. Sabrina has taken damage, Cheeky is in critical condition, and their supplies of antimatter and fusables are critically low. The only system in sight? Controlled by the Orion Guard - their enemy.

Sabrina and her crew are nearly through the Stillwater Nebula. But before they pass through into the open space beyond, they have to get through the Perry Strait. A stretch of space where no FTL is possible, with the Perry System at its center. There they learn that an old enemy has leapfrogged them and laid a trap. A trap they're going to have to spring if they want to get through to the other side.

After nine long years of searching the Inner Stars, Jessica and the crew of Sabrina have finally found the president's brother, Finaeus Tomlinson. Now Finaeus has convinced them to take a shortcut through a jump gate - a new technology none of them have ever used before - located at a secret dwarf star mining operation. But a mysterious group within the Transcend Space Force, known as the Grey Division, has orders to intercept and capture both Jessica and Finaeus. Trapped at the bottom of a steep gravity well and surrounded by enemies, Jessica and the crew of Sabrina must find a way out of the Grey Wolf System and deliver the crucial information Finaeus carries back to New Canaan before even their allies are forced to turn against them.

This is an omnibus edition of Episodes 4-6 in season 1 of the Aeon 14 Perseus Gate series. It contains: The Last Bastion of Star City: Jessica had never imagined such a place as Star City existed, let alone that something like a Bastion protected it, The Toll Road Between the Stars: No one ever said that travelling ten thousand light years would be easy..., and The Final Stroll on Perseus's Arm: An old foe from Finaeus's past reveals a secret that will save the crew.

Rika's demons have been put to rest, and she's been given command of a new company within the Marauders: a company composed entirely of mechs. Now it's time to deliver unprecedented levels of ass kicking to Nietzschean Empire.

With Serenity behind them, the crew of Sabrina now faces a vast nebula, rife with dark matter, stretching along the inner edge of the Perseus Arm. Going around will take years, but there is rumor of a path through. A path known only to those who live at Star City. But Star City is interdicted, its outer reaches patrolled by Orion ships. Though Misha knows of a hidden FTL route that can get a ship close enough to the city, using it assumes the city’s inhabitants are friendly.

After years of drifting aimlessly after the war with the Nietzscheans, Rita has finally found a home with the Marauders - a mercenary outfit comprised of Genevian veterans. When General Mill, CO of the Marauders, comes to Rika with a top-secret solo operation, she wants to turn it down. But the mission comes with a chance to save Silva, her old team leader from the Nietzschean war. Without team Basilisk, without the Marauders, Rika must stand on her own against all odds and save the woman who once saved her.

One last adventure...It has been nine years since the Sabrina’s ill-fated jump through the gate at the Grey Wolf Star. Jessica and the crew have nearly made it across the breadth of the Orion Freedom Alliance, and are less than a year from the nebulous border with the Inner Stars.
