Defending Our Sacred Honor

In space, no one can laugh at your ships… but they can send you a nuclear missile as a comment.

My book is available on Kindle for pre-order, coming out on Sunday, September 13th! I’ll release the paperback version at the same time. What’s it about? Well, read on!

When the Terran Confederation decides to impose their will on their colonies, civil war breaks out, and they call on the Space Force to crush the rebellion. Unfortunately, the TCSF is a scientific research body, and half their fleet gets eliminated in the first month. To fight the insurgency, the Confederate Senate resorts to begging rich patriots to fund their war machine, but they need some incentive… so they let those donors command the ships.

So it’s up to Javier “Jax” Jackson, an old hand in the Space Force, who went from repair specialist to Chief of the Boat to save this mess. Can he train his new crew of inexperienced trainees, his group of  even more inexperienced officers, and keep their new captain from blowing up the ship? Meanwhile, there’s a war to fight, and what the rebels lack in technology, they make up for in creativity.

The only question is… is Jax sneakier than the Rebels AND his own crew? For Jax, the answer is the difference between life and death.

This little space opera has been seven years in the making… not that I worked on the whole time, it mostly sat in an (electronic) drawer. However, once I decided to get serious about working on my self-publishing press, I took another look at it, edited heavily, and now it’s ready again!

And it’s available for the low, low price of $1.99 US online! ($7.99 if you want the dead tree version.) I try not to pimp my own books on my blog too much, but I’m trying to make it easy for you to get it!

Not that you can comment on a book you haven’t read yet, but if you’ve read any of my blogs or short stories which I give away free, have you noticed anything I do that you like… that you hate… styles I keep repeating? Let me know in the comments below!
