"War, they say it never changes. That was before the Junkyard crew entered the fray.
With their conflict against the Valtakuntera inevitable, the Junkyard crew decide to conduct war from Kane's perspective.
Dax and his team aim for the core of the empire in a last-ditch effort to restore peace to the galaxy.
Dax will temper his reckless nature after clinging to the exterior of a starship to lure a gigantic leviathan. Sandrina and Dalia work in tandem with the remaining Bastet and Dal'no to merge their cutting-edge technologies, hoping to gain an advantage. Jun and Mark enhance their abilities with weapons and technology to make PITA an even more formidable foe on the battlefield. While Henuva toils on an experiment that's a secret to everyone but him.
Get your hands on the final chapter of the Starship Bandits as they battle the Valtakuntera and test every bond of fellowship they've built. Will all their sacrifices bring peace? Or will hope fade away like a dying star?"
"A fresh start becomes a fight for survival in the heart of Missouri's wilderness.
After the devastating loss of his family, Adam retreats to the tranquil hills of Southern Missouri, hoping to rebuild his life. But peace quickly turns to dread when disturbing events shatter his sanctuary: mutilated deer carcasses, enormous wolf-like tracks, and chilling glimpses of a cryptid that seems more nightmare than reality, the Dogman.
With only his loyal border collie, Fletcher, for comfort, Adam enlists the help of friends Jerry and Rick. Together, they must face an unimaginable threat, a predator as cunning as it is ruthless.
As night falls and the attacks grow bolder, Adam and his friends find themselves locked in a desperate battle for survival. Will they outwit the beast before it's too late, or will they become its next victims?
Night of the Dogman is a pulse-pounding cryptid thriller packed with suspense, courage, and the primal terror of the unknown. Once you dive in, you'll be scrambling for the second book in the series!"
"With Kane laid to rest, Dax and the Junkyard crew now have one job left, go on the offensive. Countless beings owe them a favor, like Master Decombres, it's time to collect.
Deciding to play it smart, they will traverse the galaxy, gathering every ounce of strength they can muster. From Tachyon, to the Alcazar and everything in between, the Junkyard crew will beg, barter and salvage to amass a fleet powerful enough to rival the Valtakuntera.
Henuva will provide ancient knowledge to help them keep one step ahead of the empress. Sandrina will put out her feelers for her underworld contacts while Dalia coordinates with the Dal’no to develop the most advanced weapons the galaxy has ever seen.
Dax will be joined by Mark and their emotionally abusive cyber-dog PITA to see if the all powerful Boronian race would be willing to intervene just this once.
Hop into the world of Starship Bandits as Dax and his crew make new friends, discover worse enemies, and prepare to show the Valtakuntera why it was a bad idea to provoke the wrath of humanity."
"The hunt is on.
After Kane's death at the hands of Tylira, Dax finds himself with a single job, keep Mark focused. With the youngest member of the team losing the only father he knew, the Junkyard tech genius is starting to show signs that Dax is all too familiar with. Knowing vengeance isn't what Kane would've wanted, Dax struggles with his own past and how to pursue justice instead.
Going on the offensive, but with no leads to track the death squad leader down, only one option is left, Tachyon. Unable to sway Decombres to help out of what goodness might remain in the pit some would call a heart, Bleeze offers to take their debt for a little favor leading to a clash with the Toxic Queens.
After dealing with that menace, they follow a whisper of a lead and meet a Data Broker on a familiar planet. They learn that sometimes mutual hate, can forge a fractured society back together.
After finding a lead buried deep in the data, Mark insists that they rush headlong into where Tylira may be, leading to; meetings of ancient heroes, fights with genetic monstrosities, and squaring off with bands of pirates even the death squad would give a wide berth to."
"The Ascendent Academy has fallen, but Nathan's journey is just beginning.
He has a mission—to journey across Davrar to find Sarya Pamaris, a friendly Questor who can begin to answer his questions. Hopefully she will reveal to him the secrets of the Endings, and how to stop them.
On the way, Nathan and his friends must contend with the remnants of Giantsrest, the catspaws of Questors and above all the terrifying dangers of Davrar itself. They have risen to the level of the elites, and that means those threats have noticed them. Because on Davrar, Nathan is sure of one thing.
There's always another danger over the horizon."
"Some deals are too good to pass up.
During a serene island escape, peace for the Junkyard crew is shattered by the sudden arrival of enigmatic grey men. After a fierce battle to repel these intruders, the crew of the Junkyard is met with an unexpected ally and a tantalizing proposal.
Ruthnar, the envoy from the galaxy's second-most formidable power, the Ryshy, extends an intriguing offer: 'Assist the Ryshy in securing a seat on the galactic senate, and gain invaluable intel on Tylira.'
Seizing the chance to procure an advantage over the elusive Death Squad commander, Dax and his team dive headfirst into a maelstrom of unforeseen challenges and long-standing adversaries. Time is of the essence as they race to unite the Ryshy with the galaxy's forces against the looming threat of the Valtakuntera.
Will the Junkyard's crew triumph in their quest, or will Tylira continue to evade those who seek her?"
"Hunted!
On a return visit to Dal'no'nuuur to aid its inhabitants and get some upgrades, the crew of the Junkyard finds themselves ambushed by a Bastet intent on capturing them. Before meeting his 'unfortunate' end, Dax and Kane manage to extract a name from their assailant: Tussanu.
Retreating to Tachyon, they discover Tussanu is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. This reclusive individual, whose race, age, and appearance remain unknown, invites his contractors to his home once a month to contribute to his extensive collection.
Still relatively new to the wider galaxy, Dax and his team decide to go undercover to penetrate Tussanu's stronghold. As is customary with dealings involving Bleeze and Decombres, the intelligence they provide comes with strings attached.
Will they succeed in persuading Tussanu to abandon his desire to add them to his collection? Is a confrontation between these two factions inevitable? With so many unknowns, one thing is certain: someone will be robbed."
"Infected!
As Mark recuperates from severe injuries, Master Decombres summons the Junkyard's crew to explore a mining ship that has gone dark. Upon arrival, the situation is horrific.
Reluctant to dock and risk the unknown, the crew sets a self-imposed deadline. They must unravel the mystery and escape the ghost ship before being consumed by the remnants of a dead star.
During their investigation, they encounter true terror: their weapon, designed to exterminate the insects, has mutated, jumping species. Isolated and without support, Dax, Kane, Dalia, and Henuva race against the clock to restore the ship's functionality while evading the infected hordes.
Engage in the battle to discover whether Dax can resist the voice in his head, or if he will inadvertently unleash a contagion that not even Tylira or the Valtakuntera can withstand!"
"Book One: Rostislav Grokhotov, an ordinary clerk working for a privately-owned company, just wanted to earn some extra money in the game. He had no specific plans for his new character. Little did he know that his new nickname Rosgard would become the game's next greatest legend. Whose side does one take without becoming a pawn in anyone's game?
Book Two: Rostislav Grokhotov does not want to become anyone's pawn. Therefore, his unexpected acquisition makes him ponder his own goals. Having become the sole owner of a unique spell coveted by top-ranking clans, he no longer wants to go with the flow. That way would only lead to ruin and obscurity. He'd need to go all in—and to have a good plan. With several more contingency plans for good measure.
Book Three: Nothing is ever given freely. Easy money for a seemingly minor quest in a game? Well, you're obviously being played for a mark. Suddenly stumbled upon a unique spell coveted by the entire world of Waldyra? Expect trouble for certain, for there's a horrendous creature hunting you now, intending to take your life eventually—it's but a question of time. That's the only way of becoming a legend of Waldyra. You cannot run from your problems forever—at some point, you'll still have to face them, so face them on your own terms."
"The galaxy just called for help. Unfortunately, the wrong man answered.
When small-time conman, Cal Carver, is thrown in jail and forced to share a cell with a semi-naked cannibalistic serial killer, he's pretty sure his day can't get any worse.
Boy, is he wrong.
It isn't until two-thirds of the human race is wiped out and Cal is mistakenly abducted by aliens that things really start to go downhill.
Whisked across the galaxy, Cal is forced into a team of some of the sector's most notorious villains and scumbags and tasked with delivering a package to a warlord-run solar system where the authorities daren't venture.
The mission should be simple enough, but as one screw-up leads to another the ragtag group of unwitting heroes find themselves in a frantic battle to save an entire alien civilization - and its god - from total annihilation.
Featuring epic space battles, hilariously snarky characters, and a shapeshifting blob with the face of Tobey Maguire, Space Team is the first book in the internationally bestselling series by award-winning author, Barry J. Hutchison.
Perfect for fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Galaxy Quest, Guardians of the Galaxy, and pretty much anything else with the word 'Galaxy' in the title.*
*Except Samsung's Galaxy S series, which is a range of mobile devices, and so not really similar."
"The galaxy is at war, and Space Team just can't seem to stay out of trouble.
Following one close-call too many, the team hides out on a tiny backwater moon, hoping the hostilities between Zertex and the Symmorium will all just blow over.
But when first officer Loren's brother is taken prisoner and sentenced to death by the Symmorium, Cal and the others must make a choice - a choice that could spell the end of Space Team forever...
Packed with space battles, giant robots, and a dangerously obese man being sponged down with soup, The Guns of Nana Joan is the hilarious fifth book in the Space Team saga, and the perfect jumping on point for new readers."
