Guardian Force (Book 1)
Five hundred years in the future, humanity's greatest discovery may also become its greatest threat.
When Guardian Force detects a mysterious sub-light probe entering the Solar System, Scout Ship Shey and crew expect to intercept an unknown object. Instead, they discover something impossible: traces of human blood aboard an ancient artifact, but from where?
Following the probe across unexplored space, the crew embarks on a dangerous mission that will challenge everything humanity believes about its origins, its future, and its place in the galaxy. What they discover could ensure mankind's survival... or bring about its extinction.
Blending authentic military strategy, hard science, and epic space adventure, Guardian Force launches D. Arthur Gusner's complete five-book Guardian Series. Perfect for readers who enjoy military science fiction in the tradition of The Hunt for Red October meets Battlestar Galactica, with the sense of discovery found in classic space exploration.

Earth Guardian (Book 2)
Humanity is no longer alone. Now it must decide whether it is ready for war.
Centuries after two branches of humanity were separated by time and the vastness of space, fate reunites them under the worst possible circumstances. An expanding alien empire known as the Kreel is conquering everything in its path, and Earth has suddenly become its next target.
Outmatched technologically and unprepared for an interstellar conflict, Earth's governments discover just how vulnerable they truly are. Their only hope lies with the distant world of Glas Dinnein and the battle-tested crews of the Guardian Force, whose resources are already stretched to the breaking point.
As alliances are forged and the threat of extinction grows, humanity must learn to stand together or face an enemy determined to erase every human world from the galaxy.
Blending authentic military strategy, hard science, and large-scale space adventure, Earth Guardian continues D. Arthur Gusner's complete five-book Guardian Series, raising the stakes in an epic saga of survival, courage, and discovery.

Guardian Probe (Book 3)
Five battle-weary Guardian Cruisers stand between humanity and a Kreel invasion.
Far from home and badly outnumbered, the crews receive a simple order: hold the line. With promised reinforcements uncertain and supplies running low, the defenders search desperately for any tactical advantage that might help them survive the coming battle.
Nearly one hundred light-years away, a lone Guardian Cruiser on deep reconnaissance faces its own final moments. Its crew is gone. Its hull is crippled. Only the ship's artificial intelligence remains.
Before destroying its attackers and itself in one last act of defiance, the AI transmits a Cobalt Blue encrypted message to Guardian Force headquarters. Hidden within that transmission is a mystery that could reshape the war and send Guardian Force deep into the heart of the Kreel Empire on a covert intelligence mission.
Blending military strategy, artificial intelligence, deep-space reconnaissance, and large-scale interstellar conflict, Guardian Probe expands D. Arthur Gusner's complete five-book Guardian Series.

From the shadows, an alliance of ancient civilizations known as the Elders quietly observes. Having guided the galaxy through countless ages, they now face an impossible question: which species, if any, deserves to survive?
Beyond the Milky Way, something far older has awakened. Drawn by the immense energy of war and death, an ancient evil begins extending its influence into the conflict, threatening not only humanity and the Kreel, but every civilization in the galaxy.
As Guardian Force prepares for the largest military campaign ever undertaken, the balance of power is about to change forever.

The writer has collected a good history of mankind’s development and established science to explain why we act the way we do as a society. I am looking foreword to book number 2 to see the direction the author is going to take us.

Book 2 keeps the character development along with the main story line from the first book. The use of the writers submarine warfare experience has been expressed well to space strategy.

All 5 books have captivated my attention since starting the first one about 2 weeks ago. The story line focuses on human history and projects one possible track for our future. The characters are all strongly developed. A great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars how much the serial stories are loved and missed
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2018
The “Guardian” series by D. Arthur Gusner is a reminder to all of us rabid Sci Fi fans,
how much the serial stories are loved and missed. This author’s true to form, science- based story-telling is up there with the likes of Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein and O.S. Card. One can only wonder how these past to present and future writers have shaped a genre that extends far beyond our own limited realities.
As a scientist, Gusner’s knowledge of the universe is impressive and his stories reflect it. His knowledge of history and his understanding of human nature add dimension to the development of his characters and storyline. Read book 1 and you’re hooked. Then sit back and allow yourself to be entertained and awed by this thought-provoking 5-book series. (Guardian Force, Earth Guardian, Guardian Probe, Guardian Strike and Guardian Thunder)

I found this a great story, and continuation to the series. I was initially a bit reluctant because it is some what dearer than most kindle books. So I originally only purchased the first part. That was more than enough, I was hooked. The day after I finished I bought the next two, a decision I haven't regretted.
The series is full of captivating characters, human, alien and a.i., and suitably bad enemies. There is also a continuing mystery about humanity, and its place in the galaxy. Topped off with rousing space battles. All in all a very addictive mix, one I can thoroughly recommend.
