Perfect for you if...

You love military sci-fi with tight command structures and hard tactical decisions under impossible odds.
You're drawn to stories where an underdog discovery changes everything, especially if it involves reverse-engineering forgotten tech.
You want a long series to sink into with solid world-building and stakes that feel genuinely high.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven narratives over plot momentum and aren't interested in combat-heavy storytelling.
You need standalone novels rather than the first book in a multi-book series.
You're put off by the premise of humanity as a subjugated workforce forced to serve aliens.

About this book

When the Ornu conquered Earth in a single night, humanity lost its freedom. Now forced to crew the invaders' ships and fight their wars, humans face an impossible choice: obey or watch billions die as the Ornu destroy their home world. Captain Bill Henderson is sent to claim a small moon for his masters when he discovers something unexpected—an ancient warship, abandoned for millennia by a species that flourished at the dawn of the universe. This massive vessel, untouched for ages, may hold the key to humanity's liberation from their oppressors. Book 1 of Starship Omega explores whether this discovery could be the tool humanity needs to break free.
