Captain Wu

a space opera adventure

2021

Captain Wu’s the name. Smuggling’s her game. An immersive, creative, action-packed thriller of a book! A counter-cultural treasure full of twists; a fast-moving joy to read! Looking for more swashbuckling in your space opera? Here you have it! CAPTAIN WU, the first book in the completed trilogy, features a ragtag crew with a wily captain in her sixties who is out of money and always on the run. Throw into the mix the captain’s hacker-in-training granddaughter, who’s stowed away, and an authoritarian interstellar government that has decided to pay attention to the small fries for some reason, and you have yourself an excellent adventure. To be fair, they only started shooting after she started insulting them. She was just about to hand off the package when three tentacle-faced strangers attacked. Wu loves a good fight and lives for a good heist. The Captain and her crew make their living taking undercover assignments from questionable clients... and it pays. Or at least, it used to. But this time, Wu is barely able to make it back to her ship alive. Soon the Starship Nameless is racing around the galaxy with not only the powerful Commonwealth on its tail but another dangerous creature bent on revenge. And then an unexpected visitor arrives, putting Wu and her crew in the position of taking care of some very precious cargo. Is it time for the Captain to give up criming and retire? Not a chance. Captain Wu is the first volume in the Starship Nameless trilogy, followed Smugglers Starship Nameless #2 New Starship Nameless #3

Smugglers Crew

a space opera adventure

2021

That was the problem when dealing exclusively with crooks and thieves. None of them had a decent returns policy. Captain Wu finds herself once again on the losing end of a deal. Everything has been going south since she ran afoul of three squid-faced xenos who stepped into the middle of a delivery and shot the buyers—of a book! Why is anyone so interested in an ancient book? Now she's the target of a bunch of bad guys, all while trying to avoid the long intergalactic arm of the Com. As the Captain and her crew race through one star gate after another, she gets herself out of scrapes with her wits and her fists... though not necessarily in that order. But her old nemisis—and former partner—Roderick Tell is up to his neck in nefarious doings. And he keeps reeling her back in. How is Wu going to keep her family safe and her crew fed? With smarts and grit, the smugglers keep surviving, one wild shenanigan at a time.
