After finding himself alone and very far from home, astronaut Wil Calder does his best to make his way in the Galactic Commonwealth.
It ain’t easy.
After assembling a crew of misfits from across the Commonwealth, Wil takes a job. Break into a space station. Straightforward enough. Except it’s not. It’s the space station that the galaxy’s criminals use to store their loot and who knows what else.
They thought they were stealing money or treasure, or something else that criminals value. Turns out they were stealing more than that. A lot more.
Galactic conspiracy, more.
Now it’s up to a bunch of outsiders with zero experience to expose the conspiracy. And if at all possible, not die.
No pressure, right?
The Space Rogues series is a fast-paced science fiction adventure chock-full of Firefly-esque banter and characters.

RECOMMENDED
"This is an accessible and highly readable science fiction tale that relies on speculative technology and imagined scenarios but is never bogged down in heavy concepts or complex astrophysics."- US Review of books
"This was pure Flash Gordon space opera stuff, and the author kept the story moving at a fast pace with characters the reader will love." - Pulp Den
Customer Reviews
Interesting first book
The story line is interesting and a quick read to set up the narrative for the series by doing a lot of character development
Space Rogues
I stumbled on this book accidentally while at sea, and was completely enthralled by it. Reference to Science fiction pop culture, specifically Firefly, hooked me. Anyone that gets Firefly knows good sci-fi. The book was fast paced and exciting with hero characters that jump right into your heart. I can’t wait to read more.
Heroic Misfit Crew
That’s enough on the plot to let you know that I enjoyed this story. There were some leaps and some odd places where the story repeated verbatim which made me wonder if I’d already read that page but I hadn’t. It was enjoyable though and a good way to pass the afternoon.
