Conscript

Military Field Agent Jacob Zackery had never planned on joining the Union Space Force. After being pressed into service, there was only one way out, complete three missions for Admiral York. But when Jacob is abandoned on a dead planet to slowly starve to death he must make a deal with an illegal AI to get back to Homeworld and Helen, the woman he loves. Along the way, he befriends a mechanical savant, a young woman fleeing a planetary invasion, and a doctor with questionable loyalties, all while struggling to regain the life torn from him.

The Chromaspace Saga is an epic space opera set in a densely packed part of the galaxy where only a fraction of a light-year separates star systems. Here the nebula surrounding an embedded cluster of stars is so thick that space is never black, and starships fly against an illuminated backdrop. Part Expanse, part Avengers, Chromaspace is action-adventure, and irreverence rolled into one epic journey.
