Author's Description

Earth is gone and humanity has moved to the stars. In a galaxy where corporations are the new governments, the crew of the Corsair must find their own way to survive by taking on odd jobs--sometimes legal, and sometimes not so legal. Join Elias Starr and his crew on their adventures in a universe filled with space pirates, synthetic cultists, genetically engineered monstrosities, and more!

Why I Chose it

Right from the start, episode one is full of energy and humor, just as a space opera should be!

[5 episodes so far, with 5 in the last 30 days.]

Who Might Like This

Looking for some fun space opera? Check this one out!

Unrelated Griping

The "you must release 5 TikTok videos every day to be an author" brigade is sweeping through some of the Facebook groups. What they don't say is that for every author who finds an audience that way, many others just waste a bunch of time when they could be writing and still don't have anyone reading their stories. There's a lot of survivor bias happening.

Author's Description

Anchor McClain has piloted the Red Stone all over the galaxy, his band of thieves picking up whatever work needs doing from whoever needs it done. But when an old friend approaches them with a job, it's going to put the team in more danger than they've ever seen and test loyalties that McClain didn't know he still had.

Why I Chose it

I like space opera. This story drops us right in the middle of the drama in episode one. This one is a space western inspired by Robin Hood, which is a nice combo.

[33 episodes, 4 in the last 30 days.]

Who Might Like This

If you liked Firefly, you should check this out!

Have I really run out of things to complain about? This seems unlikely. Maybe I'm coming down with something...

Author's Description

He survived the war, but will he survive Anissa Howe? From the casino district on Larissa to the bowels of an abandoned warehouse, follow Galen Tor as he unravels the mystery of her kidnapping.

Why I Chose it

I'm a sucker for space westerns (think Firefly, but hopefully with less of Joss Whedon's madonna/whore misogyny), so this was an easy pick.

[13 episodes so far, 13 in the last 30 days.]

Who Might Like This

Space western fans should check this one out!

The story with the image I have dubbed the "Christmas ass" picture in the completed stories section is still in the sixth slot. Apparently the "Completed" carousel just doesn't get updated...
