Space Rogues

He's been stranded beyond the stars for years. When he buys himself a down-and-out squad, he crash-lands into a whole galaxy of trouble... Lone human Wil Calder is bored out of his freakin' mind. So when, he gets word of a couple of criminals being hauled to a penal colony, he figures he's got a sweet deal to offer: Join his crew and he'll help clear their names. But, he quickly finds he's bought a black hole of misfortune with the two disgraced convicts knowing things that they shouldn't know. Things that will get all of them killed. Desperate for fast money to go legit, Wil takes on one last illegal job to rob a heavily guarded space station. But when, the motley band stumbles across an interstellar conspiracy, the ill-equipped ship captain must decide how far he'll fly to bring justice to his team and the rest of the universe. Can the accidental spaceman escape a cosmos of chaos before they, all go supernova?

They saved the Galactic Commonwealth once. For free. Apparently it's a thing they do now… The crew of the Ghost has been privateering for the Harrith government. You know, the one they saved from civil war. It's fun; stop pirates, smugglers and the like, and take their loot. But nothing lasts forever. There's a bounty on their heads after all. A call from an old friend has them leave the safety of the Harrith system. No good deed, and all that. Now they're in the middle of it, again, can they survive? At least it's not a galactic conspiracy this time! There are, however; laughs, tears, and the first-ever Taco Tuesday in space! Space Tacos?

The day starts like any other, venturing into spider-bear territory to rescue Bennie's sister. Turns out there's a lot of space that the Peacekeepers don't go near, go figure spider-bear territory is on that list. And that's just the start of their adventure. Things get interesting, quick! By interesting, I mean horrifying of course. Their old friend Xarrix calls with a job. A job that sounds straightforward and easy. That should have been their first clue. With nothing else on their plates, the crew of the Ghost finds themselves in a sector of space deemed "untamable" by the Galactic Commonwealth, working with a warlord with some pretty big plans. That should have been the second clue. Too bad none of the crew are detectives. Learning from his past dealings with the crew of the Ghost, Xarrix assigns one of his own to stay aboard the Ghost to keep an eye on the crew and make sure they behave themselves as if that was possible. What's worse is it's someone the team knows and don't particularly like. And then there's the space battles and grilled cheese.

Hired to bring a tech team to a remote planet. They had no idea what was waiting for them. Wil and the crew of the Ghost show up to find a nearly deserted research outpost on a frozen world. Nearly deserted… Oh, and Maxim has been abducted and with the crew busy elsewhere there's only one being who can rescue him, Bennie. What could go wrong? Will the crew of the Ghost reunite? Will they freeze on a desolate ice world? There are monsters in the ice...

Wil never planned to go home again.Plans change.Hired by one of the most powerful people in the Galactic Commonwealth to retrieve someone from Earth, a protected planet. A planet that no one in the Galactic Commonwealth is allowed to approach let alone land onWil has reservations, the crew wants more bacon. They take the job.Get in, grab the target, get bacon, and get out.Easy right?Wrong!Things go downhill fast.While Wil has been off saving the galaxy (more than once, thank you very much), Earth has been busy on projects of their own. None of them good for anyone else.Not to mention their target isn't what they expected.Now Wil and the crew of the Ghost have to decide what to do next.All while trying not to die, as usual.There's also the matter of Bennie not wanting to be dissected!See what happens when homecomings go sideways.

Sometimes the jobs are simple, deliver a crate. Sometimes the crate is full of space bees and Bennie opens it. Gabe is back from his mission of leading a droid civil rights movement and seems to have been more or less successful. A new client approaches the crew, escort and protection detail for a summit. That sounds easy, and the pay is good. It turns out the Galactic Commonwealth is only partly run by the governing council. Things, as they do, turn sideways and now the Ghost is hiding from a super-advanced warship that shouldn't exist. It also turns out one of their previous clients is far eviler than they ever imagined, and someone they thought worthless turns out to be a valuable ally. Who doesn't like learning new things?

Sometimes your customers are galactic mega-corporations.Sometimes your customers are Galactic Commonwealth Politicians.And sometimes your customers are drunks who find you in a bar.Those are the most exciting jobs.They're also the most dangerous and possibly the most rewarding.Find out what happens when the crew of the Ghost ventures to the outskirts of the Commonwealth on an epic quest.

Someone stole something.Something more dangerous than any weapon in existence. Something that the crew of the Ghost are far too familiar with and had hoped to never see again.The Commission to wind down the nightmare experiments of Farsight Corporation has been robbed, and it wasn't Wil and the crew. They're hired to recover the stolen data.They get help from two unlikely groups, one will betray them and the Galactic Commonwealth.Sometimes honor gets in the way.

At least it's not mechanical calamari! Wil and the crew of the Ghost have been hired as security consultants for the galaxy's newest, biggest, and most luxurious cruise ship's maiden voyage. Sounds perfect, relax in the lap of luxury on someone else's dime. Except, of course, that's not what happens. While a war rages on the outer edges of the Galactic Commonwealth, something more base is taking shape aboard the Galactic Empress. It's ok though, Bennie has a laser sword.

Sometimes it's good to get back to basics. For Wil and the crew, that means a heist!What are they stealing?Why?For whom?As they say, 'The galaxy laughs when we make plans.'Now it's a race against time to save the life of one of their own before their past fully catches up to them.With a little help from an old friend, they just might pull it off.

The first three books in the exciting Space Rogues series. Wil Calder is an astronaut or rather was. He got lost, then picked up by pirates, then... well, a lot happens. Needless to say, he isn't an astronaut anymore. He's a smuggler, a privateer, bounty hunter and sometimes savior of the Galactic Commonwealth. He and the crew of the Ghost can't seem to help finding themselves in the middle of things they aren't even remotely qualified to be in the middle of. Whether it's stopping conspiracies, pirates or rampaging super ships, it's always something for Wil and the crew. Fun fast science fiction for fans of Farscape, or Guardians of the Galaxy. Box set contains: Book 1: The Epic Adventures of Wil Calder, Space Smuggler Book 2: Big Ship, Lots of Guns Book 3: The Behemoth Job
