Space Rogues by John Wilker
What happens when your experimental spacecraft breaks down near Neptune? Dying alone in space is the likely answer, right?



That's not how Wil Calder's story ends though; it's how it begins. Alien space outlaws rescue him and sell his pod for scrap. He's given a choice: join the crew or step out the airlock without his spacesuit. Not great choices, right?



Now, years later, Wil is a lonely intergalactic outlaw and smuggler, looking for a crew. Because space is lonely and boring, Wil could use some friends or at least people to work with, maybe boss around a little. Before Wil can even enjoy having a crew to call his own, they find themselves in the center of a plot to start an intergalactic war.



A plot they aren't remotely qualified to stop, but who looks at qualifications these days?



Between epic space battles, a quest for redemption and a daring heist, the crew uncovers a dangerous secret. A secret that they can't let stay hidden; too many worlds hang in the balance.


If you tried to cross the Buck Rodgers TV Show from the early 80's with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, you'd come close to the rollicking good fun of this classic space opera.



Space Rogues is a sci-fi adventure that crisscrosses the galaxy; from one seedy spaceport bar to another, with secret gangster treasure depots in between. If you love & miss Farscape and Firefly, you'll enjoy following the crew of the Ghost on their adventures.
