Publisher's summary

Cole and his crew are lost in space and stranded with no way home.

After escaping from the colony ship in a faraway system, Cole has uncovered sinister evidence of August Walton's oppression: a castoff civilization living in the past and forced to comply with the Eternal leader's unjust edicts.

It doesn't take long for Cole to realize that the planet has its own secrets. Navigating lies and half-truths leads to a brewing rebellion led by the one person who might hold all the answers he seeks. But, as any good Renegade knows, nothing's ever easy.

Time is running short.

The enemy is always one step ahead, no one is who they appear to be, and Cole doesn't have the firepower or personnel to go up against the might of a seed ship. That isn't going to stop him from doing what he always does.

Survive and overcome.

Failure isn't an option. The stakes are higher than ever, and freedom comes at a heavy cost. To get his crew back home before they're all too old to care, Cole must push himself to the limit and decide how much he's willing to sacrifice.

Warning: This book contains action, cussing, and general badassery. Listen at your own risk.

The Crew Finds its Groove

By this third book the crew is starting to gel, working together better and helping to amplify strengths and cover weaknesses.

I’m excited to see where the series continues to go!

Really enjoy this series

Except for sometimes when the diatribe gets to be a bit much, I do like the dynamic between team mates, story line, and narrative performance.

Once again, the story kept me enthralled and amazed. I can't wait for the fourth book, and then the fifth, and then beyond!

Defiant Exile - Very good 3rd Slip Runner book

I thoroughly enjoyed this 3rd book in the Slip Runner series. Great plot with plenty of action. Great interaction between the characters. This book continued the story line of discovering the Eternal seed ship and it's evil governor and warped ship AI and finally brings a conclusion to that story line. Then it opening up again the search for the alien Gray's people. Very good read. I highly recommend!

Good continuing storyline book

The storyline for this book was more sedate than the prior ones. Gave time to learn more about the main characters and their interactions with each other. Was a good book, ending a little too much a Hollywood one, but ok.

book 4 soon please 🥺

this has been a surprisingly excellent series. it started on a whim with waiting on another series to come out and I decided I would gamble a credit. shortly after starting the first book I bought three more credits and picked up the second book and within an hour of starting the second book picked up the third now I'm out and sad cannot wait for book 4 to see what the crew of misfits runs into now.
