War rages between the stars. A ruthless empire crushes all resistance. And one ex-soldier will decide the fate of humanity…

The Paragon empire reduces cities to dust and devastates entire planets. Independent star systems fall one by one… until none remain. Fear keeps the population obedient, but rebels and outlaws hide in the shadows.

After decades of fighting, Lax VanDunn is free. Sold to the Paragon military as a child and shaped into a perfect soldier, war is the only life he’s ever known. When he’s released from the army at last, he swears he’s never going back.

Now, Lax works as a salvager, raiding abandoned spacecraft. When an ancient warship is discovered floating in deep space, Lax realizes it contains a priceless secret that could shatter the Paragon’s grip on the galaxy.

Lax never wanted to be a hero. But the Paragon took everything from him—and now he has a chance to strike back. Can he plan an impossible heist, and lead an inexperienced crew through the ship’s lethal defences? Or will the Paragon snatch away his prize—and humanity’s last chance of freedom?

An absolutely thrilling science-fiction adventure of tension, intrigue and hard-hitting action, Starship Salvager is perfect for fans of James S.A. Corey, Marko Kloos and Craig Alanson.
