Hometown Space Pirate

Ben Roberts hears voices… alien voices. Not the kind anyone else believes, but the kind that thrust him into the middle of a sci-fi comedy full of first contact gone wrong, dangerous aliens, and a galactic tug-of-war. When word of his strange ability spreads across the stars, Ben rockets to the top of an A.I. collective’s most wanted list. Their plan? Turn him into a cybernated slave. A bleak prospect—but tempting when they dangle everything he ever dreamed of in exchange. A headstrong, sarcastic spaceship with an intelligence of its own shows up to help, but Ben doesn’t know if it can be trusted. When a powerful alien refugee hiding on Earth becomes the target of invasion, Ben risks everything to keep it out of A.I. hands. If he fails, the balance of power across the galaxy could collapse, leaving humanity defenseless. Packed with laugh-out-loud banter, quirky aliens, reluctant heroics, and a sentient starship that refuses to shut up, Hometown Space Pirate is a funny space opera adventure that kicks off the 4-book Viraquin Voyage series. Step aboard and see how much chaos one small-town space pirate can cause.
