Synopsis

“Join NASA, see the stars.” They said.
No one mentioned getting stranded in the outer solar system.
They sure as heck didn’t mention alien space pirates!
Wil Calder is a human, the only one to leave our solar system.
But that was years ago.
Now, he’s a lonely smuggler, looking for a crew, because space is lonely and boring. Just a few folks to boss around once in a while, is that so much?
He’s finally found two perfect candidates. First, he’ll need to break them out of jail.
The best-laid plans of mice and spacemen, or something like that. Wil has a crew now so that’s good. Too bad they’ve found themselves in the middle of more trouble than they are prepared or qualified, to handle.
“If you tried to cross the Buck Rogers TV Show from the early 80’s with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, you’d come close to the rollicking good fun of this classic space opera.” A reader
Fans of Farscape and Firefly will love the crew of the Ghost, in this raucous space opera adventure.
Join the crew of the Ghost on the first of many fantastic sci fi adventures.

Goodreads review by Nicky

I really enjoyed this. I thought all the characters were fun and I enjoyed visioning what the different species aboard the ship looked like. I thought the battle against The Peacekeepers and the GC was well written and left me on the edge of my seat (or rather, bed 😂) wondering what would happen nex......more
