The Helmsman Saga

• The Helmsman (1985)
• Galactic Convoy (1987)
• The Trophy (1990)
• The Mercenaries (1991)
• The Defenders (1992)
• The Siege (1994)

This series began in 1985 but was later reprinted (in "Director's Cut Special Editions") by Timberwolf Press.

The Turning Tide is a sequel to The Defiance and was scheduled to be released in 2008. However, the author did not manage to complete it in time, and put an official apology on his site. As of the beginning of 2010, there is a promise that it'll likely be finished within the year.

Several books of the original Helmsman saga, The Siege, The Defenders and The Defiance in particular, appear to reproduce (sometimes word for word, sometimes paraphrasing) large sections of a WWII autobiography titled The Big Show (written by Pierre Clostermann, published 1948, translated into English by Oliver Berthoud.(copyright, 1951 by Random House, first printing, Time/Life Book series: Wings of war: The Big Show). The Defenders pages 79—83 (Warner Books paperback, 1992) resemble in form, chronological order and paraphrase almost the complete chapter titled "Radar At Dawn" from The Big Show. More examples exist for anyone willing to spend the time to search the Helmsman Saga.

Many similarities to other science fiction sources exist as well. For example, Galactic Convoy mentions a planet named Throon (identical to the capital world in the Star Kings books). Also, an attack against a space fort at the end of The Mercenaries contains several allusions to the attack on the Death Star.
