Epic Stories of War, Empire, and Survival

Hoplite Ridge is a critically acclaimed science-fiction epic that throws readers into a brutal war where ancient gods reclaim the battlefield and humanity is forced to confront what it truly believes in to survive. Praised for its relentless pacing, vivid worldbuilding, and uncompromising stakes, the novel blends myth, military science fiction, and hard choices into a story that never flinches. As empires fracture and loyalty is tested under fire, Hoplite Ridge delivers a powerful exploration of duty, survival, and the cost of standing firm when the world begins to collapse. 

 Black Meridian: Piracy & Empire is a sweeping narrative history of piracy and global power that has earned critical praise for its depth, clarity, and unflinching honesty. “Epic, exciting, and highly recommended,” writes Midwest Book Review, while Independent Book Review calls it “a detailed, vivid, and often sobering history of life at sea.” Spanning four centuries from the fall of Constantinople to the industrial age, Sean Patrick Sayers dismantles the romantic myths of piracy and reveals it instead as a tool of empire, tracing how pirates, privateers, and imperial states shaped one another through violence, profit, and maritime ambition. Grounded in rigorous research and vivid storytelling, Black Meridian shows how piracy helped forge the modern world and why its legacy is written into the map itself.
