Series

They aim to produce books within different series each with their own unique settings and the current ones are:

• The Afterblight Chronicles - set in a post-apocalyptic world where a disease has run rampant
• Pax Britannia - set in a modern steampunk world where the British Empire, and Queen Victoria, still rule the world.
• Twilight of Kerberos - sword and sorcery tales
• Tomes of the Dead - zombie stories
• Dreams of Inan - a fantasy series that concluded with Mike Maddox's The Worm That Wasn't.
• Sniper Elite - based in the world of the Sniper Elite game

Two forthcoming series were announced in May 2009. These are:

• No Man's World, written by Pat Kelleher. A group of World War One Tommies are transported to a strange alien planet in a freak accident. There they must learn how to survive in a hostile environment while facing a sinister threat from within their own ranks.
• An unnamed series concerning international espionage and the supernatural, written by Rebecca Levene. The first book will be called Cold Warriors.
