About

When Carson Flint traded his Commonwealth military badge for the quiet life, he thought he'd left his battles behind.
Two years of running a saloon called the Bulwark, a volatile hub for refugees, smugglers, and the occasional war-weary soldier, was the peace he'd been looking for.
He's never had it easier, or been so bored.
But when a fugitive Commonwealth operative arrives with dangerous secrets and a war criminal on his tail, Carson's sanctuary quickly becomes a target. Drawn back into a world of interstellar conspiracy and dangerous militias, Carson faces a decision that could alter the fate of not just the Bulwark, but perhaps the entire galaxy: risk everything to help old allies or turn his back and let the chaos close in.
The Bulwark may have given Carson an escape from his past, but adventure and old debts are calling.
If you enjoy reluctant heroes, unexpected twists, and high-stakes galactic intrigue, then you'll love Owning a Spacebar, a sci-fi adventure from John Walker.

    "John Pirhalla's narration brings gritty nuances to an intriguing character-driven space opera. Carson Flint--formerly a soldier, now a saloon owner--is bored. But when a spy and a war criminal show up, his life becomes more exciting than he bargained for. Pirhalla's distinct characterizations help listeners track a cast of varied characters. His pacing supports the story's noir atmosphere, especially in dialogue-heavy scenes in which subtext matters. He also demonstrates a keen sense of timing, using pauses and inflections to heighten suspense and underscore emotions. His consistency across chapters maintains immersion, and his ability to convey dry humor adds texture to Flint's gruff persona. Pirhalla's narration enhances momentum and emotional depth, turning a quiet narrative into a compelling listening experience. J.M.M. � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
