Space Truckers

When Mike Colby, a lonely mercenary, is hired by his ex-wife Gemini to meet with an old alien enemy for an unlikely alliance, he thinks the hardest thing ahead of him is preventing an alien invasion. Unfortunately, things get a whole lot worse when he is caught in the middle of a feud between Gemini and one of her ship captains, Tisch, when he joins her crew. The aliens become the least of his concerns when the obsolete class freighter Blue Eagle and her crew become the targets of mercenaries and hostile aliens in a galactic corporate war. Space Truckers is Michael's twelfth novel and the first in his new series. A lifelong resident of the Philadelphia area, Michael has been writing novels and adaptive screenplays for over twenty years now. He is currently working on book two of the series, subtitled The Return of the Blue Eagle, in concurrence with Reign of Pain, the third book in his Pain series with a cross-over of Marina from that series as they join forces to take down Kronos Enterprises, the corporate monster intent on controlling everyone and everything.

Mike Colby leads the crew of the new and revamped Blue Eagle in a personal battle against Empire Shipping, only to find that they are part of the much larger and well-funded Kronos Enterprises. With new and unlikely allies, the war with Kronos grows bigger than any of them ever imagined. The Blue Eagle's new role as an independent to explore and develop long-distance trade routes for Gemini's corporation brings new responsibilities that alter the relationship between Mike and Tisch as they take on new crew members and become an integral part of the rebel alliance against Kronos.
