From Book 1: One hundred thousand colonists can’t disappear. No bodies. No evidence of an attack. Just gone.

On what should have been a routine cargo run to the far edge of the Coalition, Captain Ethan Walker is carrying a payload of medical technology and two passengers returning home to Starlight Colony. When they arrive, they discover that everyone on the planet is missing.

The company he works for wants him to leave immediately, but he’s obligated to report to FleetCom that the entire population has vanished. Captain MacKenna, of the Magellan, tells him to stay put until they can arrive to begin an official investigation.

Caught between his legal responsibilities and the need to know what happened, Walker has to resist increasing pressure to defy orders. Unfortunately, his passengers make a decision that forces him into doing the one thing he can’t do.

Captain Walker must risk his ship and crew to return to the surface even though it may ultimately cost him everything.

Wings of Earth: 2 - Dust of the Deep: A Smart Space Opera Series
by Eric Michael Craig (Author)
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 264 4.4 on Goodreads 143 ratings
Archaeology is a dirty business. Out in the Deep, it’s dangerous too.

After almost losing his Shipmaster’s licenses, Captain Ethan Walker takes on three new crewmembers and the first job that will get him back into space. Fortunately, the load pays exceptionally well. But when he discovers that the supplies and personnel they’re carrying aren’t the type of payload the Olympus Dawn usually hauls, he realizes he has no other options. They must complete the run regardless of the danger.

Things get worse when Walker makes a one hundred light-year detour to pick up an archaeologist who knows their destination, only to find that someone has kidnapped her. Planetary security is looking for answers.

Answers he doesn’t have.

Before they find out where they’re headed Ethan learns they’ve attracted the attention of the renegade Captain Kendrick Jetaar, and that he will stop at nothing to capture their cargo.

Captain Walker must escape the ruthless pirate lord before he and his crew become casualties in a war he didn’t know existed.

If you like Firefly and Star Trek, you should pick up the second adventure in the ongoing Wings of Earth now and follow the story of Captain Walker and his crew as they take on another exciting mission.

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 187 4.5 on Goodreads 104 ratings
It was only a four-day safari. On a super-earth, covered with a deadly jungle.

Captain Ethan Walker takes what should be an easy run to Watchtower Station in orbit above the inhabited heavy-world of Dawn. A delay in unloading their cargo forces them to layover for several days, and the station’s science director offers them the chance to visit the surface to observe the indigenous culture firsthand.

When a mistake leaves the human outpost on the surface exposed, a hunting party of superhuman Ut’aran natives capture Walker and his crew and haul them off into the impenetrable jungle.

With the power to their life supporting exosuits dying, they must fight to survive against twice the gravity of earth while the three newest members of his crew attempt an impossible rescue mission.

Unfortunately, to escape they have to take on a cargo that puts them so far outside the law that if the Coalition catches them, the best they can hope for is death by hanging.

Grab the third book of Wings of Earth to discover just how far Captain Walker and the crew of the Olympus Dawn will go to survive.

Fifteen hundred light-years from home. What could possibly go wrong?

Captain Ethan Walker wants to be back in space, instead he’s trapped in an endless bureaucratic battle to get his two interstellar freighters hauling cargo. Driven by frustration, he jumps at the chance to take on an epic run that will send his ships a thousand light years beyond the edge of Coalition Space. Hired by a mysterious corporation and its supernaturally beautiful agent, he soon realizes that no one in his world is remotely as they seem.

When a violent terrorist faction targets Walker and his crew before they begin loading their cargo, he uncovers a hidden reality where everything he thought he understood about human civilization is no longer true.

A secret war looms on the horizon and nothing he counted on can be trusted. Not even his own perceptions.

Far beyond the possibility of rescue, a mind-altering turn of events leaves Ethan fighting to save his crew and ships. His only hope of survival lies in trusting his instincts.

And the genetically engineered passengers asleep in his cargo hold.

Now you can read the exciting fourth book of Wings of Earth and learn how far Beyond the Edge the truth really lives.

The enemy of an enemy… Is still not a friend.

Recovering from a telepathic accident that altered his brain, Captain Ethan Walker takes time off, but his vacation in paradise rapidly becomes a real-life nightmare. When a former enemy tells him another colony is missing, Walker and his crew find their only opportunity to learn more is an alliance with a pirate captain who once tried to kill them.

Hoping to uncover information about the destruction of the second Coalition colony, they make a risky deal with Captain Jetaar for use of one of his stealth ships. Unfortunately, when they arrive at the Tamilis system in a pirate cruiser, they must evade two FleetCom Multicruisers and the ominous Tahrat Shan Che to find their answers.

Only after they return to Jetaar’s base, does Ethan realize the actual cost of discovering the truth. His arrangement with the Pirate Lord has only one way out, and Walker and his crew must risk everything to keep from giving him what may be the ultimate weapon.

Access to the technologies of an ancient Tacra Un Archive.

A ruthless enemy… A desperate plea for help.

Captain Ethan Walker is learning to accept the reality of his new life as a fugitive renegade. When an unexpected message arrives at their NuProvidence base, it plunges the crew of the Olympus Dawn into a dangerous showdown with a mysterious government group known only as The Management.

The merciless leader of this secret agency will stop at absolutely nothing to shut down Ethan and his followers. She’s willing to step well outside the law… even going as far as abducting innocent people to achieve her goals.

After The Management kidnaps their loved ones, she threatens Walker with an ultimatum: If you ever want to see your families again, you will surrender your ship and crew. Left with no choice, Captain Walker knows their only hope is to risk the impossible to rescue them. Alone, they must break into Dziban, the most dangerous prison in all of known space.

And then, somehow, get back out.

Eric Michael Craig is a Science Fiction author living in the Manzano Mountains of New Mexico. It has been said that Eric writes "intelligent science fiction" where the characters and story come first, and a believable science foundation provides the backdrop to the action. Before he retired from the corporate world, Eric was the Director of Research for a private consulting laboratory where he learned how to explain science in ways that could be understood even by those who weren't technically oriented.

When not writing, Eric plays guitar and bass and occasionally dabbles in art of various forms.

He also owns way too many dogs, and as a result, is often involved in heroic battles with mountains of dog hair.
