Amari Series

Military Sci-Fi Rebellion Against Tyranny

She was born to survive — not to lead a revolution.

Amari Prokop has spent her life as a pirate captain, smuggling black-market ore and staying two steps ahead of the United Nations’ enforcement arm. She’s ruthless when she has to be, loyal when it costs her, and done pretending the galaxy owes her anything. Her last job was supposed to buy her a way out.

Instead, it drags her into a war she never chose — against a totalitarian world government that outlawed religion, assigns citizens their professions, and disappears anyone who asks the wrong question. What starts as one final heist becomes a rebellion that spans planets, moons, and the asteroid belt, and forces Amari to become the very thing she swore she’d never be: someone worth following.

This is political and military science fiction for readers who want real stakes — where institutions don’t fall because one hero is brave enough, and every act of violence leaves a mark. Across six books, Amari and the people she gathers around her — an idealistic hacker carrying a dead woman’s promise, a disgraced intelligence officer fighting his own conscience, a defected enforcer who can’t unsee what he’s done — chip away at a bureaucracy built to outlast them all. Faith, when it appears, is treated as real and costly, not decorative — a reason to keep going, not a hand that reaches down to fix things.

If you’re drawn to science fiction book series about rebellion against a corrupt government, stories where faith and hard sci-fi collide without turning preachy, or the kind of military sci-fi with lasting consequences that The Expanseand Galaxy’s Edge readers love, the Amari series is built for you.

Start with Book 1: Amari.


Amari – Book 1

Amari is a gripping science fiction adventure blending dystopian action, space opera thrills, and high‑stakes intrigue.

Born into a life of violence and survival, Amari Prokop has already committed her first murder by age eight. Now, at twenty‑four, she’s a seasoned smuggler with her own starship — but freedom comes with a price. Haunted by her past and hunted by her enemies, Amari takes on one final job: a risky abduction that could grant her pardon from the United Nations — or cost her everything.

Interplanetary Space Security Force agent Colin Ross and his partner Marlie are determined to stop her. What follows is a relentless chase through space, where loyalty is tested, secrets unravel, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs.

If you love dystopian sci‑fi, adrenaline‑charged space opera, and morally complex protagonists, then Amari will keep you glued to the edge of your seat until the final chapter.

Camp 7 – Book 2

Some debts can only be paid in blood.

Amari Prokop spent twenty years as a pirate, taking what she needed and answering to no one. Then she found out where the United Nations sends the people it decides don’t fit — and she can’t unlearn it. Cloee’s family is inside Camp 7. So is a debt Amari swore to repay. Getting them out means turning her ship, her crew, and every hard lesson her stepfather ever beat into her against the largest military and political apparatus in the solar system. It means trusting a defected ISSF captain who isn’t sure which side he’s actually on. It means surviving a processing camp built to erase her before she can tear it down from the inside. And it means deciding, in a warden’s office with blood already on someone else’s hands, what she’s willing to become to win. The system Amari is fighting doesn’t have a single villain to kill. It has a thousand small offices, a thousand people quietly agreeing to look the other way — and taking it down one camp at a time is never going to be enough. But it’s where she has to start.

Camp 7 is a character-driven military science fiction novel about the cost of fighting an enemy too large to see all at once — and the people worth becoming someone else for.

Fans of adult political science fiction, morally complex rebellions, and found-family crews will find a story that doesn’t flinch from what liberation actually costs.

Battle of Europa – Book 3

Amari Prokop has declared war on the United Nations. Now she has to win it.

With the Martian ore supply destroyed and the ISSF in disarray, Amari moves her small fleet toward Europa — the last strategic resource in the outer system and the site of an underground resistance network that has been waiting two years for someone to come. Taking the colony is the easy part. Holding it against a UN blockade, a divided population, and a government that will not stop — that is the real battle.

Battle of Europa is a story about what it costs to build something worth protecting. A former pirate governing a free colony under siege. A hacker fulfilling a promise made to a woman who died for her. A defected captain counting the weight of every decision. A bureaucrat who has just discovered his own apparatus is running ahead of him.

The lights are on. Whether they stay on is another question.

Book 3 of the Amari Series.
