The Amargosa Trilogy

The Amargosa Trilogy chronicles the invasion, occupation, and eventual liberation of the colony world Amargosa by the alien Gelt—and the transformation of a group of teenagers into the core of the resistance and beyond. In The Children of Amargosa (Book), JT Austin and a band of fellow survivors confront both alien invaders and human collaborators as they navigate a shattered world. Second Wave escalates the stakes as the resistance grows, betrayals deepen, and escape becomes the only hope. In Storming Amargosa, a joint Compact and Hanar force launches a desperate assault to reclaim the planet, culminating in devastating fusion strikes and hard-won victory.

The final volume, After Amargosa, shifts focus to the emotional and political fallout. Through a series of short stories, it follows the characters as they rebuild, grieve, and try to define their roles in a universe forever changed by war—bridging the trilogy to the broader Suicide Arc that follows.
