Shipwrecked on a distant planet. Mysterious alien relics. His fresh start just turned into an interstellar conspiracy.

After an undercover investigation goes bad, ex-soldier Evan hopes to forge a new life on a remote colony world. But when the transport ship explodes in orbit, his plans for a peaceful early retirement go out the airlock.

He crash-lands with a small group of settlers, away from the target site and with limited resources. Unable to call for help off-world, Evan and the mission’s xenobiologist Anya race for survival in the dangerous wilds—until they realize they aren’t alone on the planet.

Evan’s investigative instincts tell him that nothing about this colony mission going awry is an accident. When evidence points to an ancient alien starship hidden somewhere on the planet, he realizes that solving the mystery will be the biggest case of his life.

Can Evan survive the hostile planet long enough to uncover the truth?

Stranded is the thrilling first installment in the Starship of the Ancients series. If you like action-packed space adventures with dynamic characters, alien worlds, and interstellar intrigue, then you’ll love this exciting new space opera by author A.K. DuBoff, creator of the Cadicle Universe.
