Overview: M.R. Forbes is the author of a growing number of science-fiction series including Rebellion, War Eternal, Chaos of the Covenant, Stars End, and the Forgotten novels.
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
1. Starship For Sale - When Ben Murdock receives a text message offering a fully operational starship for sale, he’s certain it has to be a joke.
Already trapped in the worst day of his life and desperate for a way out, he decides to play along. Except there is no joke. The starship is real. And Ben’s life is going to change in ways he never dreamed possible.
All he has to do is sign the contract.
Joined by his streetwise best friend and a bizarre tenant with an unseverable lease, he’ll soon discover that the universe is more volatile, treacherous, and awesome than he ever imagined.
And the only thing harder than owning a starship is staying alive.
2. Head Case - Ben never thought owning a starship would be easy. He didn’t expect it to be quite like this.
It was one thing to take a job as a smuggler to pay for basic necessities like maintenance, fuel, and food. Another to have one of the most powerful nobles in the galaxy gunning for him at every turn. But when Keep turns up unexpectedly with a new offer that’s even wilder than the last, will it put him on the path toward his true destiny?
Or is it just another con?
3. Keep Away - Ben knows that if he’s going to make it as a starship captain, something’s got to give. After another unexpected run-in with Mr. Keep, he’s ready to accept that he can’t avoid his fate forever.
But the first step is a doozie, and he isn’t exactly starting out on the best footing. He has more to lose than his starship or his life. A lot more.
Buying the starship was business. This is personal.
4. Candy Bomb - Ben returns to the Spiral with Keep, eager to reunite with his ship and crew. With the true danger to the galaxy in greater focus, he knows what needs to be done.
When an unexpected meeting becomes more than he bargained for, he thinks he’s being sidetracked yet again. Except his new acquaintance hates Sedaya even more than he does, and she has a plan to get even.
All she needs is a ship. And him.
5. Blue Burn - Armed with evidence of Sedaya’s treachery, Ben and his crew seek an audience with the Empress. If everything goes according to plan, the duke will be brought to justice and the bounties on their heads lifted.
But since when does everything go according to plan?
6. Eight Ball - When things fell apart, they fell apart fast, leaving Ben to pick up the pieces.
Unwilling to succumb or surrender, he’ll do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of his crew. Already far behind the eight ball, it’s going to take strength, resilience, and fortitude he never knew he had to get back into the fight.
If he doesn’t, everyone he cares about will die.
7. Kill Spree - Ben used to dream about being famous. He didn’t expect to wind up infamous instead.
Now he’s stuck in the middle of the most grotesque contest in the galaxy, racing against time and some of the most dangerous and deranged psychopaths in the Spiral to rescue his crew from a bloody battle royale.
The clock is ticking. The leaderboard is reset. Millions are watching. There can be only one winner, and if he ever wants to see his best friend again…
It had better be him.
8. My Hero - The race to find the most valuable resource in the galaxy is on.
No, it isn’t unobtainium, vibranium, adamantium, or eternium. And it isn’t a zouchem crystal, either (though that WOULD be a nice pickup).
If Ben wants to prevent Duke Sedaya from gaining an iron grip on the Hegemony, his only hope lies in locating the missing Prince Hiro. Of course, it won’t be easy. And even if Ben can find him…
It may already be too late.
9. War Head - When Ben first bought his starship, he expected to spend the rest of his days joyriding through the universe with his best friend.
As the most wanted criminal in a galaxy that’s about to be crushed in the iron fist of an evil tyrant, it’s fair to say things haven’t gone according to plan. Caught up in the middle of a looming intergalactic conflict and rejected by both sides, there’s only one thing left for him to do.
Take the biggest risk of his life...
And prepare for war.
10. Last Licks - As war rages and the enemy’s sigilships systematically trample any opposition in their path, Ben, Matt, and the crew of Head Case embark on a desperate, last-ditch effort to stop Sedaya for good.
With the fate of the galaxy at stake, will they rise to the challenge…
…Or go down swinging?
11. World Eater - When Ben bought Head Case, he never imagined that he would not only survive cancer, but somehow become a hero in a galaxy sorely in need of a few.
But after saving the galaxy, what comes next?
If you’re Ben…boredom, followed by a wedding, followed by angst. What’s a space wizard to do?
Save the galaxy again, of course! |
