Good pirates fight. Smart pirates run. The best aim for somewhere in between… After pulling off the heist of a lifetime, Captain Remy Bechet faces harrowing space battles, mutinous scumbags, and a vengeful nemesis from the past - all while trying to protect the ragtag crew he considers family. Meanwhile, on the planet Vox, Sheriff Lilly Greyson finds herself juggling formidable black-market dealers, horny deputies, and a worldwide crisis in the making. And for both, the day's only half over. If you're a fan of space operas like Firefly, Defiancé, and Dark Matter, then you'll love the first action-packed episode of the Galactic Blues serial.

The authors of Galactic Blues envisioned the series as a limited-run television show, with weekly episodes being released on nine consecutive Mondays, starting on November 5, 2018. It is meant to be a fun short KU read every week. The story and characters develop much like episodes of serial television. Some readers will opt to buy each episode because they want to collect the covers and to support us further. Will we release box sets? Although we will eventually release each season (nine episodes) in a combined format, we originally conceived Galactic Blues as a weekly form of entertainment that would enable readers to escape into our world for a short time. Will there be additional seasons? Yes. We are currently planning a three-season run. Of course, if you can’t get enough of our characters and stories, we will happily keep the “show” flying for a while longer. How is Galactic Blues connected to the NGU? The renegade space pirates at the heart of the series—Remy, Dreyla, and Tosh—begin their misadventures within the portal-filled solar system that has birthed Newton’s Gate. But as they soon discover, some portals have a mind of their own. What Is the NGU? First, you might ask... who is C.J. Clemens? C.J. Clemens is the pen name shared by over thirty authors who have written and continue to write an assortment of stories based within the Newton’s Gate Universe. And what is the Newton’s Gate Universe? On New Year’s Eve of 2050, humanity launches Newton’s Gate, a gateway meant to enable interstellar exploration.
