Descripción editorial
Ben Roberts hears voices… alien voices.
When news of his strange ability leaks through the galactic grapevine, Ben rockets to the top of an A.I. collective's most wanted list. Their plan? Turn him into a cybernated slave. A bleak prospect—but tempting when they dangle everything he ever dreamed of in exchange.
A headstrong spaceship, with an intelligence of its own, shows up to help Ben, but he doesn't know if it can be trusted. When a powerful alien refugee surfaces on Earth, Ben risks everything to protect it before the ruthless A.I. can strike.
If he fails, the balance of power across the galaxy could shift forever.
Packed with laugh-out-loud banter, space opera adventure, quirky aliens, and a reluctant hero who never asked for any of this, Hometown Space Pirate launches the 4-book Viraquin Voyage series.
Step aboard and see how much trouble one small-town space pirate can cause.
BONUS origin story included.

Fun and Exciting!
“Are aliens real? It’s something I’ve pondered almost my entire life.”
“Ben Roberts hears voices…alien voices.”
And thus begin the adventures and misadventures of a nurse cum writer. A fun romp around Earth’s space and beyond. A nondescript young man, who gets embroiled in life changing events that he’d never would have dreamed of, nor I! I just never knew where I would wind up when I started the journey into the Hometown Space Pirate. It was a delicious surprise! Alien robot AI villains, a beautiful ancient alien, cute creatures, a rankarous ship with a mind of her own, holding dark secrets, and Ben the human. There are some unique and original characters and some intense scenes scattered in as well. And tons of humour!
Oh my gosh! I had so much fun reading this premise! It has been a long time I hadn’t read something so entertaining, funny, sweet and terrifying at the same time! It's good to laugh in these crazy times, and C.G. Harris gave me plenty of moments to laugh aloud; Even when situations were dire, I’d first Oh my! and put my hands on my head but the next comment from Ben or Buttercup would crack me, and I just couldn’t help the laughter from bubbling over.
“Tell your story, but realize people are happier to live in self-absorbed ignorance.”
Little did Ben realise where his appearance on television and ridiculed in front of millions of spectators would lead him to.
From the beginning till the end, the storyline kept moving at such a fast pace, with so many events taking place I was breathless all the time, be it because of tragic moments or funny situations, thrilling and action filled with never a dull moment.
The dialogue was easy to follow and witty. It turned out Ben was smarter than I thought, quick thinking and fast to react in finding solutions to defeat the horrendous and cruel villains.
“Robot or not, anything that could feel the sting of humiliation was subject to the laws of petty retribution.”
C.G. Harris has artfully interwoven a serious SciFi plot with threads of light hearted and fun dialogue, thought provoking and emotional, exciting and intriguing..a colourful tapestry.
I’m very much looking forward to reading book-2! October 2022 seems so long a wait..I highly recommend this new SciFi fun series by C.G. Harris.
