Matrian Trilogy

A fast-moving space opera featuring a wisecracking star sailor, an ancient AI starship, a ragtag crew of misfits, and hard-hitting naval combat. Retirement lasted about five minutes. Gus Johansson expected fishing, cheap drinks, and a quiet life on the backwater world of Terne. Instead he hauls a 1,400-year-old repair bot out of the ocean-and discovers the Imperial starship it's spent centuries repairing beneath the sea. Gus suddenly owns the most valuable ship in the system. Captain Harrison "Hazy" Grey wants it. Capturing the vessel could earn him an Admiral's flag, and he doesn't care who he has to kill to get it. Unfortunately for Grey, Gus has a plan. With a sentient ship's AI, an ancient repair bot, and a growing crew of smugglers, lawyers, miners, and misfits, Gus takes Corvus into space. Grey responds with a modern warship, superior firepower, and a personal vendetta. Corvus Ascending is Book 1 in the Matrian Trilogy series. Perfect for readers who love Jack Campbell, B.V. Larson, and character-driven military space opera filled with action, humour, and found-family crews. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Matrian Trilogy: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The world building is good, the AIs are hilarious, and the humans are great. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great fast paced humorous book full of action with great characterization. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A rollicking space adventure ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lots of fun and humor.

A punchy space opera of ragtag crews, desperate last stands, pirate fleets, sentient machines, and system-wide space battles. The Dellan League is running out of time. Their pirate empire is collapsing, their enemies are closing in, and they have only one path left to survive. Conquer Matria. Bosun Gus Johansson and the crew of Corvus suddenly find themselves at the center of a full-scale invasion. Pirate fleets are on the move, an ancient Imperial assault carrier is back in action, and Matria's peaceful worlds were never meant to fight a war. Gus and his misfit crew were good at raids, rescues, and impossible missions. Stopping an invasion fleet is something else entirely. Now Gus will need every trick he knows, every favor he can call in, and every ally willing to stand with them-before the Dellan League burns Matria to the ground. Corvus Defends is Book 3 in the Matrian Trilogy series. Perfect for readers who love Jack Campbell, B.V. Larson, and action-packed military space opera filled with daring missions, found-family crews, and large-scale space battles. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Matrian Trilogy: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gus and his crew were always one step ahead of everyone else. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great series.
