The Complete Iron Admiral is a fast paced space opera with romantic tension woven through the action. It combines The Iron Admiral: Conspiracy and The Iron Admiral: Deception in one volume. They are the first two books in the Ptorix Empire universe.

The Iron Admiral: Conspiracy

On a remote planet a deadly virus is resurrected. If it is released, the Galaxy will be plunged into inter-species war. Ex-Admiral Chaka Saahren and Systems Engineer, Allysha Marten, are thrust together. In a race against time, Allysha must set aside her conflicted emotions and trust a man she barely knows, a man she thinks is responsible for the death of her father. Saahren must convince the woman he loves to help him solve the political crisis which has brought the Galaxy to the brink.

The Iron Admiral: Deception

An uneasy peace has been restored. Grand Admiral Saahren has regained his commission, but he doesn’t have Allysha. Despite his best attempts to keep the woman he loves safe, she is a pawn in a growing power struggle, one where she will need all her skills and cunning to outwit a heinous plot that could result in the loss of billions of human lives.

When Allysha decides to tackle the conspirators on her own, she forces an impossible choice on the Grand Admiral.
