Smuggler's Rebellion:

Dawn of Defiance

BOOK 1 of Wild Frontier Chronicles

Some smugglers fly under the radar. Others fly straight into a galactic conspiracy.

Jake Jones has one rule: stay invisible and stay alive. As a smuggler drifting through the lawless edges of settled space, he's mastered the art of minding his own business. But when a routine salvage operation puts him between a desperate princess, her soccer-playing robot, and the forces hunting them, Jake's carefully constructed life falls apart faster than a cheap hyperdrive.

In this thrilling space adventure, loyalty and courage emerge in the most unlikely places. As starship battles rage and political conspiracies deepen, the bonds formed between a smuggler, a princess, and a soccer robot might just determine the fate of the galaxy.
