What happens when your experimental spacecraft breaks down near Neptune? Dying alone in space is the likely answer, right?
That's not how Wil Calder's story ends though; it's how it begins. Alien space outlaws rescue him and sell his pod for scrap.
He's given a choice: join the crew or step out the airlock without his spacesuit. Which would you choose?
Now, years later, Wil is a lonely intergalactic outlaw, looking for a crew.
Because space is lonely and boring, Wil could use some friends or at least people to work with, maybe boss around.
Before Wil can even enjoy having a crew to call his own, they find themselves in the center of a plot to start an intergalactic war. They had no part in starting it, and aren't remotely qualified to stop it, but here they are anyway.
Since finding a bar on a distant world isn't an option for Wil and the crew of the Ghost , they take action!
Between epic space battles, a quest for redemption and a daring heist, the crew uncovers a dark secret. A secret that they can't let stay hidden; too many worlds hang in the balance.
If you tried to cross the Buck Rodgers 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.
Space Rogues is a sci-fi adventure that crisscrosses the galaxy; from one seedy spaceport bar to another, with secret gangster treasure depots in between. If you love & miss Farscape and Firefly, you'll enjoy following the crew of the Ghost on their adventures.
Review
"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
From the Author
Thanks for reading 'Space Rogues'! This story started as a NaNoWriMo challenge and grew from there. Its been a blast writing about the adventures of Wil and his new space family. I've always been drawn to adventure stories, space or otherwise. I loved writing about Wil and the team, and can't wait to share more of their adventures with you.
