The Breakthrough Books 1-3. The Breakthrough

Earth itself is at stake in an intergalactic battle for ultimate knowledge and it's up to a few, unlikely heroes to save it in the first trilogy of this epic, nine novel series that smashes together science fiction, fantasy, magic, and time. Caught between a desperate search for power and the unrelenting advance of technology, The BreakThrough is coming for humanity. Generations ago, thousands were saved from an unabating plague, spirited off to another world where magic flourished all in search of just one thing.
Many worlds have been caught in The BreakThrough. Many worlds have been obliterated in the wake of their failure, many systems destroyed. In the wake of that destruction come the Collectives to reap the plunder of shattered worlds. Dreamers, the slaves of the Collectives, are sent in to every system to toil and to die for the Collectives. The Dreamers have been sent to our solar system, as well. The BreakThrough is coming and, with it, the destruction of all that we know.
Max Dedge is an unlicensed detective out of Los Angeles. He won't save you. Sue Jorgensen is no Queen of Space; she can't save you. She's still trying to save her own son. And Arturo Delgado is nothing but a thief of extraordinarily meager skill, possibly with self-esteem issues. The Earth doesn't stand a chance. The BreakThrough is coming. You don't want to be caught on the wrong side.
