About Andrew Moriarty

Andrew Moriarty has been reading science fiction his whole life, and he always wondered about the stories he read. How did they ever pay the mortgage for that space ship? Why doesn't it ever need to be refueled? What would happen if it broke, but the parts were backordered for weeks? And why doesn't anybody ever have to charge sales tax? Despairing on finding the answers to these questions, he decided to write a book about how space ships would function in the real world. Ships need fuel, fuel costs money, and the accountants run everything.

He was born in Canada, and has lived in Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Germany, and Maastricht. Previously he worked as a telephone newspaper subscriptions salesman, a pizza delivery driver, wedding disc jockey, and technology trainer. Unfortunately, he also spent a great deal of time in the IT industry, designing networks and configuring routers and switches. Along the way, he picked up an ex-spy with a predilection for French Champagne, and a whippet with a murderous possessiveness for tennis balls. They live together in Brooklyn.

There is a Vol. ! which readers should attack first. In this volume Jake the accountant continues to develop his street smarts even on the space stations where there are no streets. Life in space is a pretty dark adventure and Jake's naivete keeps his life bleak. He makes two friends who are more in......more

Goodreads review by Skip on March 05, 2023

After thoroughly enjoying reading the first book in Andrew Moriarity’s series of Jake Stewart, the Jump Space Accountant I definitely had to read the second installment “Orbital Claims Adjuster”. I certainly was not disappointed. In fact I found it even better and more entertaining than the first bo......more

Goodreads review by Janis Dygert on August 06, 2018

Accountants in space? Who would have thought that a number cruncher's misadventures while working his way through college and most definitely NOT getting the girl would make for such a fun read? All I can say is I clicked on "follow this author" and highly recommend you do the same.......more

Goodreads review by Dave on September 16, 2021

This is a blast, character, dialogue, plot, twists, action. If you like flawed characters that don't save the entire world from bug invaders in massive space battles but just maybe solve their own problems, then this is for you.......more
