Book 1
A nine-book science-fiction series
JunkyardPirate
The galaxy picked a fight with the wrong old veteran.
Albert “AJ” Jenkins expected to spend his remaining years drinking beer, fixing old cars, and minding his own business in a rural junkyard. Instead, a near-fatal accident exposes him to alien technology, restores his failing body, and reveals a secret invasion already underway.
Old soldiers. New war.
From a Tucson junkyard to the front lines of the galaxy
When politicians and galactic bureaucrats refuse to protect Earth, AJ falls back on the lessons that kept him alive in Vietnam: trust the people beside you, improvise when the plan collapses, and never wait for permission to do the right thing. Gathering a crew of battle-tested veterans, unlikely allies, and a growing collection of salvaged spacecraft, AJ takes the fight from his junkyard to the stars.
What begins as a desperate defense of Earth soon draws the aging soldiers into conflicts spanning distant planets and hostile empires. They battle parasitic invaders, alien assassins, ruthless mercenaries, corrupt governments, and conspiracies capable of plunging the galaxy into war. Whether rescuing stranded troops, defending innocent colonies, hunting missing diplomats, or sabotaging enemy operations, AJ and his crew repeatedly accept the missions everyone else considers impossible.
