The Unwanted Starship

A dead alien dreadnought. A galaxy looking for a target. And a salvage mechanic who just turned the key. Logan Vance spent his days breaking down rusted colony hulls in the outer rings, breathing recycled air and dodging corporate debt. It was a slow death, but it was safe. Until a routine salvage run pulls a ghost out of the void—a massive, unmapped starship pulling zero power, completely invisible to galactic radar, and bearing hull scars that shouldn't exist. It was supposed to be the score of a lifetime. Just strip the core, sell the tech, and buy a ticket out of the gutter. But Logan makes one critical mistake: he steps inside. The moment his biometrics trigger the ship’s ancient, sleeping AI, the dormant systems scream back to life. This isn't a derelict. It's a hyper-advanced war weapon built by a vanished civilization—and its reactivation just sent a tracking pulse straight to the core worlds. Now, every mercenary guild, corporate armada, and predatory alien faction in the sector is converging on Logan's coordinates. They don’t just want the ship; they want the pilot bonded to it. Logan has two choices: let the galaxy tear his home apart to claim the prize, or fire up an engine he doesn't understand and fight his way into the black. The Unwanted Starship is the explosive first book in a new military space opera series.
