Scrapyard Ship

Uprising

By: Mark Wayne McGinnis

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

As dark as the void of space, Velon ships loomed like monoliths carved from obsidian. Four-Star Station fell prey to their assault, leaving behind a trail of bodies and hostages. Now, their course is set for Earth, and time is running out…

In bygone days, Star Watch would’ve rushed to the rescue. But those once-mythic defenders of the galaxy? They’ve faded into whispers and old tales.

Mollie Reynolds wasn't just the leader of a band of resistors; she was a young Adept under the guidance of a Zin Master, her mind becoming attuned to the subtle vibrations of Algorithmic Prophecy—a metaphysical craft that wove fate with the threads of potential futures. But she hasn’t seen her father, the legendary Captain Jason Reynolds, or her sister, Boomer, in over a decade. Ricket, Dira, Gunny Orion… Those valiant figures from the Craing War have all vanished. And the technologically advanced Caldurians, once Earth’s staunchest ally? They’ve ghosted humanity, taking their cutting-edge warships with them.

Mollie stands at a precipice, facing three Herculean challenges. First: Recruit a starship captain who’s daring, relentless, and possesses balls of steel. Second: Commandeer the newly minted Caldurian warship, Crysteon. Third: In the midst of chaos, locate her missing father.

Enter Captain Matt Briggs. Does he come with baggage? Sure. More than a little attitude? Maybe. Does he want to help the beautiful, headstrong resistance leader—not so much. But time’s running out—Earth’s fate hangs in the balance. Can Matt and Mollie pull off the impossible? Fend off the swiftly approaching Velon threat? It’s a coin toss.

This new saga voyages through the realms of Space Opera, Space Fleet, Alien Invasion, Metaphysical Visionary, and Military Science Fiction.

couldn't see anything coming, awesome!!!

loved everything, disliked nothing. wish I could get next book now. I'll be patiently waiting until next book available.

new life, for a great series

Really great new direction. Love the new characters. really energized the series back up. Can't wait for more.

The characters make no sense and seem juvenile.

Plot devices come out of nowhere and character actions are nonsensical. I couldn’t get past the immature characters. I finished it but didn’t enjoy it at all. I kept giving it a chance and wasted my time.
