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. Not great choices, right?Now, years later, Wil is a lonely intergalactic outlaw and smuggler, 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 a little. 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.A plot they aren't remotely qualified to stop, but who looks at qualifications these days?Between epic space battles, a quest for redemption and a daring heist, the crew uncovers a dangerous 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. less

And then it gets interesting! An old boss calls on Wil, and while he’s reluctant to get back into working with Xarrix, the money is outstanding, and the job seems straightforward. With nothing else on their plates, the crew of the Ghost finds themselves in a sector of space deemed “untamable” by the Galactic Commonwealth, working with a warlord with some pretty big plans. Things, as you might expect, go downhill fast. Xarrix has learned from past experiences and assigns one of his own to stay aboard the Ghost to keep an eye on the crew and make sure they behave themselves, as if that was possible, worse yet it’s someone the team knows, and don’t particularly like. And then there’s the space battle and grilled cheese. Can Wil and the crew save the day one more time? There’s only one way to find out, get your copy today! less
