Space Ranger Rocky Jones encounters an alien woman named Hella who possesses prophetic abilities on an uncharted planetoid inside a giant ark. After discovering her origins and her warnings about impending conflict, Rocky is captured by the alien commander Zeno, who has built a fleet of pirate ships and demands Rocky's surrender. In a climactic space battle, Rocky manages to escape with Hella, but faces the choice of using an invisibility formula to either save his spaceship or surrender to Zeno's overwhelming forces, ultimately deciding to surrender rather than risk more casualties.

Rocky Jones

When Space Commander Rocky Jones encounters a man marooned in a violent cosmic storm, his rescue sets off a chain of revelations about missing wealthy explorers lured by promises of a legendary lost city. As Rocky digs into the mystery surrounding these disappearances, he uncovers a web of deception far more sinister than anyone suspected—one that threatens his life and demands all his skill to survive.

The Ark

When billionaires on the pleasure world of Moru begin flocking to the mysterious Ark built by the prophetess Hella—who claims the solar system faces destruction in three months—Space Commander Rocky Jones is dispatched to investigate before mass panic spreads. Tasked with discretion, Rocky devises a plan to infiltrate the Ark and uncover Hella's secrets, but he'll need to stay behind on Moru while his crew departs. What Rocky discovers inside the massive ship sets him on a collision course with a woman who claims her prophecies always come true.

Talk about Speed
1 pp · Non-Fiction

Eddie Frolic presents a mind-bending look at the true speeds at which we're all constantly moving through space—from Earth's rotation to our galaxy's incredible journey toward the star Vega. It's a quick, eye-opening reminder that what feels like standing still is actually traveling at velocities that dwarf anything we've built on our world.

Rocky Jones

When invisible raiders strike the spaceport and commandeer Rocky Jones' ship, space authorities face an impossible puzzle: how do you stop an enemy you can't see? Rocky and his team hunt for clues to uncover the mystery of the Invisibles and the technology behind their threat to Earth's security.

Action on Uranus

Lance Gregg of the Inter-Planetary Security Police races across the void to stop space bandits who've stolen nearly a million universal credits and taken a young woman hostage, but his pursuit leads him from Earth's orbit all the way to the desolate wastelands of Uranus. When the thieves attempt a desperate maneuver to shake him off, Lance must choose between chasing the criminals and saving the hostage—and that's only the beginning of the trouble waiting for him on that frozen world.
