A story of last chances and criminal inanity “I loved the Guardians of the Galaxy vibe…fast, funny, and fresh sci-fi writing.”—Cameron Coral, author of the ‘Brink’ sci-fi adventure series A Federation deserter. A ferocious cat alien. An android of limited intelligence. On the run and out of work, Federation Navy deserter Cass takes the first job she can get: to liberate the notorious pirate Redbeard from the prison on Aresh Five—which doubles as a tourist attraction for the rich and adventurous. Using a cover identity, Cass will have to infiltrate the prison with nothing but her wits, a master key disguised as a spork, and a furry, cat-like companion who’s pretty good in a fight. Succeed, and she’ll earn the respect of the charismatic pirate leader Tone E Robbins, a man with deep pockets and plenty of other assignments to keep Cass busy. Fail, and she’ll become a permanent resident of Aresh Five prison herself… or worse, end up back in Federation hands, forced to have daily tea with her disgustingly polite and patriarchal commanding officer… ------------------- What readers are saying: ★★★★★ ’Great fun, a great game, an engrossing easy read.’ ★★★★★ ‘I really can’t wait to read the first book and hang with these characters again.’ ★★★★★ ‘I highly recommend this book if you enjoy humorous and adventurous space operas.’ ★★★★★ ‘Such excellent writing that made me laugh.’ ★★★★★ ’Loved the Guardians of the Galaxy vibe...fast, funny, and fresh sci-fi writing.’ ★★★★★ ’This story packs a punch.

The Realm Online needs a hero. He'll have to grow up first. Billy's a friendless teen and child of divorce, but when he's playing The Realm Online? He's a legend. Not just a legend, but a god amongst men. Some say he's a no-skill hack, that he's nothing without the mysterious artifact weapon known across the lands as Banhammer. With a unique fighting style perfected over the course of beating the endgame content (twice), Bronan is above needing friends—or a guild, for that matter. Lily of House Hathur is another matter. She isn't merely a conniving you-know-what out to get him killed...IRL she's also his sister. When their parents split, so did she, and now he won't stop trying to ruin her reputation. Can Billy ever forgive his sister for abandoning him—or will his single-minded rage drive her to the brink? Get this book now to find out, and enjoy the opening blow in the eternal struggle between Good and Evil—and brother and sister—in the Banhammer Chronicles. WARNING: This book contains depictions of bullying and the shadowy underbelly of teenage sibling relationships. It's also at times humorous—and sweet. The main character is what we'd consider to be an anti-hero and may not be everyone's cup of tea. Will he earn redemption? That's precisely the story we'll explore in the subsequent BANHAMMER CHRONICLES, starting with REBUILD.
Solo mode is no longer an option. Billy doesn’t need friends, especially when playing The Realm Online. So long as he wields the legendary artifact weapon Banhammer, he has little need of parties. After his character is deleted for terms of service violations, he’s determined to rebuild his character in all its glory. Without help, of course…because parties are lame AF. But when an angry god nerfs his new character with a curse, he’ll have little choice but to accept help from a druid misfit and a Fool’s priest. When the mayor of a newbie town is murdered, Billy will be forced to choose: party up with the others on a unique, high stakes adventure, or risk sucking forever.
