When a mild-mannered professor is sentenced to be an Orbital Garbage Reclamation Expert, he doesn’t expect to become a spacefaring outlaw. After his ragtag crew stumbles onto an ancient alien ship, they’re yanked out of Earth’s orbit and dropped into a brutal galaxy where survival favors the bold, the clever… and the slightly unhinged.

Hunted by alien warlords, criminal syndicates, and empires that would rather see them dead than free. The crew of the Junkyard must rely on fast words, faster guns, and each other to stay alive. Every mission pulls them deeper into a galaxy-spanning conflict, where lost civilizations, dangerous alliances, and impossible odds turn scavengers into legends.

Two things hold our starship together.
Duct Tape and hate.


In the near future space debris around Earth has made it impossible to traverse our solar system. Or it would be, if not for prisoners sentenced to clearing that debris known as Orbital Garbage Removal Experts, or O.G.R.E. for short.

Former linguistics professor Dax has made it a habit of working aboard The Junkyard with a small crew, the conspiracy theorist, tech-savvy hacker Mark and the once decorated military hero turned war criminal, Kane.

One day a job goes badly when the “debris” turns out to be an alien ship with a deceased crew and an auto-pilot warp drive. The alien craft jumps with The Junkyard attached only to crash land on a desolate, alien world. A world home to insects the size of cars called Underbeasts and the native alien orc-like Dal’no who have been thrown back to the Iron Age.

Join Dax, Mark and Kane as they strike bargains with the formerly technologically advanced species, unravel the beginnings of a human written language and find out they aren’t the first humans to visit the strange planet.

Grab a copy of Starship Bandits to see if this scraggly bunch of criminals can succeed where Conquistadors, Crusaders and even Navy Seals have failed. Their mission? Kill the Underbeast queen and save what’s left of the Dal’no race.
