Home of Murphy’s Lawless
Murphy’s Lawless is a collaboration between two publishing houses, Baen and Chris Kennedy Publishing. It is a little different from your normal series in that there are a group of novellas (“seasons”) and then a braided novel which sums them up (and which has additional material added by Charles E. Gannon). The three braided novels (in order) are “Murphy’s Lawless,” Watch the Skies,” and “Mission Critical.”
Season One (“Murphy’s Lawless”) has six novellas and the final book, “Murphy’s Lawless.” It ties in with the original source material and characters from the main storyline. The novellas are:
- “Shakes” by Mike Massa
- “Obligations” by Kevin Ikenberry
- “Man-Eater” by Griffin Barber
- “Promises” by Kacey Ezell
- “Pearl” by Mark Wandrey
- “Waveoff” by Chris Kennedy
These novels are all braided into the novel “Murphy’s Lawless.”
Season Two “A” has three novellas and the final book, “Watch The Skies.” The novellas are:
These novels are all braided into the novel “Watch the Skies.”
Season Two “B” has three novellas and the final book “Mission Critical.” The novellas are:
- “Infiltration” by Griffin Barber
- “Insertion” by Chris Kennedy
- “Assault” by Mike Massa
These novels are all braided into the novel “Mission Critical.”
Of note, Seasons One, Two “A,” and the novellas of Season Two “B” were published by the Beyond Terra Press imprint of Chris Kennedy Publishing, with Baen taking over the release of “Mission Critical.” Future releases will typically be novels that will be released by Baen, with the option of passing extra material to Beyond Terra Press. The next novel is “Admiral and Commander” by Charles E. Gannon and Chris Kennedy, expected to be released by Baen near the end of 2023.
There is also a standalone anthology in the CaineVerse, “Lost Signals.”
