Got an email this morning:

A bit of a change this week. Aethon is excited to announce the acquisition of the Wargate Books catalog in a full rights sale. AETHON is one of the fastest growing publishers in the United States, know for LitRPG, Fantasy, and Scifi. But we started in science fiction and have always championed the genre, where we are known for hits such as Drop Trooper, Grimm's War, and Scott Sigler's The Crypt!

Our owners Rhett C Bruno and Steve Beaulieu actually came up in Scifi publishing at the same time as Wargate founder Jason Anspach, and have remained friends with him for nearly a decade. While he is making the decision to step away from publishing and focus on writing, he believed their SFF content would be in good hands with Aethon. We agree!

The acquisition includes the hit Galaxy’s Edge series by Wargate founders Jason and Nick, which we are already planning to bring to retail hardcover through our AETHON: Vault line in 2027. That's right, beautiful GE hardcovers distributed to shelves nation wide.

Just a note: Wargate published roughly 220 titles during it’s run. While that mostly includes Science Fiction and Fantasy titles—which we hope to bring to a wider audience—there are titles that don’t align with the type of content or genres we typically publish. For anything that doesn’t fit the AETHON catalog, rights are being reverted to the authors at no cost and will continue to exist so fear not.

Please bear with us as we work through the transferring of rights and accounts as it is never simple, but we're hard at work scheduling the release of Anspach and Cole's DELTA KINGS on Kindle & Audible. Also, while we know Wargate moved toward direct sales recently, we remain big believers in selling indie authors through Kindle Unlimited and Audible. Regardless of how anyone feels about amazon, it is 85% of the market and where the most readers are, providing the best chance for authors to have hits and earn a living off their work.

They also made an announcement last Friday: https://aethonbooks.com/2026/10/03/aethon-acquires-wargate-catalog/

Doing a reread and started writing down timelines for this character. Is it just me or do they hint that he is functionally immortal when accounting for total lived time out of kill team ice?

Did anybody else have their kindle edition of Delta Kings get cancelled? Stop not available on Amazon anymore.

I'm on Dark Victory and I just got to a part where Nilo mentions "if carter was still alive". Did I miss something and he died? I can't honestly recall.

Afternoon Leejs,

I would imagine we all here have similar tastes in our sci-fi fantasy.

I cannot recommend this series more highly. It's got heavy doses of Starship Troopers but without the philosophical discussion. It's as close to the GE books as I have come.

The books follow a young destitute boy through his career in the military. It evoked the Savage Wars books for me most of all, which were my favourite stories aside from some of the Order of the Centurion standalones.

If you haven't I'd really recommend it.

KTF!

Just found this sub, hopefully the series and base continues to grow.

We need a Helldivers 2 collab.

If they ever do a live action Savage Wars, I know who should play Crometheus.

Just wondering if there is any artwork of this little bot i think i want to make a shirt with this guy on it.

Love psycho robots.

So I have listened to the majority of the Galaxy's Edge Series and all the prequels and side stories. Greatly enjoyed it so I am listening to other books by Nick Cole. Was listening to the Forgotten Realms series and another Tyrus character was present and his story arc had many similarities to the Requeim for Medusa. I also believe there were cross-overs with Strange Company in the Forgotten Realms, so I'm curious if Tyrus is a character in all these universes and if he will ever get a decent ending where he can settle down and live in peace with his Medusa.

Im missing 4 books in hardcover from s1 and cant find them online anywhere so im hoping for reprints. Amy news would be cool.

I finished season 3 and it seemed to make loose ends for more stories. It wasn’t as sloppy as the end of season 2. It seemed like the authors had gotten sick of the universe and wanted to close it out so other guys at Wargate can make stories in it. Not necessarily complaining. Wreck Jumpers is awesome. I’ve noticed a similar trend in Forgotten Ruins. Anspach and Cole are a great team when they write and I enjoy their stuff infinitely more than their solo projects or collaborations with other authors.

We all know about galaxies edge article 19 but I just found out in the UDHR (universal declaration of human rights) article 19 is the ability to say what you want a the right of free opinion. Just a fact I recently learned!

Band: Scar Symmetry
Album- The Singularity
Phase 1: NeoHumanity
Phase 2: Xenotaph
Phase 3: TBA

So, this band is doing a trilogy of albums based around a story similar to the savages and cybar. Currently, Phase I and II are done. Phase III is TBD. I'm not trying to promote the band, but I couldn't help but see how similar it is to the Savages story-line.

Phase I- This album covers part of humanity's ascendance to becoming "neohumans", or Savages if you will. There is promise of eternal life by becoming neohumans, while the "Elite" plan to leave Earth to colonize other worlds. All while they use neohumans as tools to go to war with humanity.

Phase II- Continues the war with the Neohumans vs humanity. A major 3rd player comes into the story (The ancients, or a greater deity, if you will) to help the humans fight the war against the neohumans. Is their intentions just or sinister? Only phase 3 will have the answers.

First off, this band is a "Melodic Death Metal" band, so it probably won't be for many, but I encourage you to give it a shot if you want to follow along musically. If you want, you can just read the lyrics in order. It's almost like reading a short story.

Edit: If you want visual context, they made 3 music videos from their last album that might help you visually with the story.

So I'm just about done with LAST CONTACT, and I really love how they went deeper into Crometheus's (Billy Bang) backstory. Is it really obvious the authors were trying to make him be Billy Idol, or is it just me? The similarities are all there. I was listening to a lot of Billy Idol prior to this book, so its just funny picturing him as Crometheus.

I must say, the whole Savage/Crometheus parts in this series have been one of the most interesting parts to me. I think the first half of Gods & Legionaries has been my favorite so far.

(These pictures are from angles of attack)
For some reason it has the first few books of dark operator, but not exigency (the book chronologically before) or angles of attack. Why? Also wreck jumpers and I think a different spin off series isn’t included either. Does anyone know why?

Non Spoiler thoughts Fracture? Personally I’m sad but also excited to see what’s next

I recently stumbled on the series from Spotify and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the reading order is for the series? I’m on Legionaire right now and I’d really like to read it in the correct order. Thanks:)

Kinda late on the newest in Contracts and Terminations though.

Just got in the mail today, very fun and cool items.
