Defender Down is the first book in the Matagam Pagwa Series. It is the story of the crash of the battle cruiser Defender on the planet of Yovex. Yovex is suspected to be the origin and cause of the legend of the feared Ghost Ships. At great risk to their lives, six crew members rode the Defender down to the surface. When they first made contact with the Indigenous species, they were mystified at their physiology.
"When the battle cruiser Defender skidded to a stop on the surface of Yovex, Captain Zeff asked, 'Everyone alright?' After they answered affirmatively, he unbuckled, stood up and looked around at the disorder which was once the bridge of his battle cruiser. The others got to their feet and joined him surveying the damage as Zeff asked the EXO, "Did everyone get off?"
"'As far as I know.' Dr. O'Casey replied. "We're the only ones crazy enough to ride this ship down. We should all be dead or committed.'
'Right now, committed does not sound that bad.'"
Bleak Realities is second book of the Matagam Pagwa Series. It is the story of the Black Sentry's duty, betrayal, and sacrifices on the Tweed planet of Vulzar. The Black Sentry receives invaluable help from the local inhabitants: the Elros, the Trirobs, and the Orebs. Elros are a genetically engineered cross between elephants and a rhinoceros. Trirobs are genetically crossed between Weasels and Mongooses. The Orebs are large orange-eyed birds that were genetically crossed from two species of eagles and two species of bats.
"When the Resolute Bay entered Vulzar's atmosphere about three thousand feet above the planet, the clamshells containing weapons, ordinance, and supplies were kicked out of the rear hangars. As they began their descent toward the planet, the members of the Black Sentry jumped from their hangers in glide suits feeling the air rushing against their bodies and helmets. Their objective was to scrutinize the dense vegetation as they aimed for their designated drop zones.
"Suddenly pieces of red hot jagged debris took its toll cause severed and torn body parts to plummet to the ground. Their transport ship Resolute Bay had exploded above them."
