From reject to starship captain in 1 nanosecond

Kevin’s father thinks he’s a loser, and a brand-new rejection from MIT isn’t going to convince dad otherwise.

He goes for a lakeside walk to sort things out in his mind – and an alien ship crashes right in front of him.

With his last breath, the dying captain imparts Kevin with a chilling revelation. An intergalactic war looms ominously, threatening all sentient life. A war that Kevin, in a twist of fate, will now need to fight.

On the losing side.

In command of the last remaining warship.

The crew of the ship? All dead.

With billions of lives hanging in the balance.

So, no pressure!

Locus Award Finalist: On a mysterious road built by aliens, a space trucker tries to outrun dangerous pursuers.

Independent space trucker Jake McGraw, accompanied by his father, Sam, who inhabits the body of the truck itself, his “starrig,” picks up a beautiful hitchhiker, Darla, and a trailer‑load of trouble.

One of the best of the indies, Jake knows a few tricks about following the Skyway, which connects dozens, or maybe hundreds, of planets—nobody knows how many and nobody really knows the full extent of the Skyway, and much of it remains unexplored.

But somehow, a rumor gets started that Jake has a map for the whole thing, and suddenly everybody wants a piece of him: an alien race called the Reticulans; the human government known as the Colonial Assembly; and a nasty piece of work called Corey Wilkes, head of the wildcat trucker union TATOO.

No matter what Jake does, no matter how many twists and turns he makes, he cannot shake any of the menaces on his tail.

The Starrigger series continues with Red Limit Freeway and concludes with Paradox Alley. Starrigger was a nominee for the Locus Award for Best First Novel in 1984.

When civilization is an alien experiment, one unlikely hero must rewrite the ending.

In the fractured galaxy of 2427, disgraced pilot Geddy Starheart thought his biggest problem was retrieving his stolen starship. Little did he know he was about to become entangled in a cosmic conspiracy that threatens all of existence.

When Geddy teams up with a motley salvage crew to reclaim his custom-built vessel, he discovers an unexpected passenger: an alien entity called Eli, who reveals the shocking truth about the mysterious Zelnads. These cryptic beings created humankind as a test, and now they’re ready to hit the reset button.

Armed with this knowledge and haunted by his past mistakes, Geddy has to navigate treacherous alliances, confront his personal demons, and win the trust of a formidable warrior princess whose homeworld stands as the last bastion against the Zelnad threat.

Aboard the aptly named For Sale Make Offer, Geddy and his unlikely crew race across the stars, desperately trying to reassemble a long-defunct galactic alliance for one final, epic showdown. The fate of countless worlds hangs in the balance as Geddy fights not just for redemption, but for the very soul of the universe.

“Rocket Repo” is the thrilling first installment in CP James’ Reassembly series, a space opera adventure that combines high-stakes action, unforgettable characters, and mind-bending extraterrestrial mysteries.

Prepare for a journey that will challenge your perceptions of civilization, free will, and humanity’s place in the universe.

The ultimate voyage of discovery ends with the truth about yourself. The ultimate truth requires you to sacrifice your innocence. The ultimate redemption can only be gained after you confront the past.

Michael Anderson never thought he would set foot on an Earthlike world. Born on the farthest edge of the solar system, he studies planets from afar. But when his parents open a wormhole and discover signs of intelligent life on the other side, Michael is the only planetologist young enough to voyage to the alien star.

Twenty light-years away from humanity, what they discover on the alien world forces them to question their deepest beliefs about the universe—and about what it means to be human.

From the ashes of the ancients, a cataclysmic new threat rises.

Born on a forsaken desert planet, Cole Shaw has two options – perish from starvation and disease, or enlist in the New World Republic’s armed forces. He chooses the military. For the first time, he thinks he has a shot at a better life. But survival is not guaranteed.

Leading an elite team of mech operators, he is deployed to a frozen planet called Ferrous where dangerous relics of a past war lurk beneath the ice and savage creatures prowl the barren wastelands. Scientists on Ferrous are chasing rumors of godlike technologies buried in the ruins of a long-extinct civilization. When Shaw and his team are assigned to protect the researchers, they face an unexpected, merciless new enemy desperate to stop them.

An ancient secret has been awakened on Ferrous. The deadly race to claim this terrifying power has only just begun.
