Publisher's summary

A crew born to end the war. A determined enemy. A fight for freedom.

The ship survived, but over time, the original crew died out. Their children were left to continue the fight for their home against their sworn enemy, the vicious alien Malibor.

They’ve lived their whole lives in space. Their idea of heaven is open air, blue skies, and the quiet of peace. But they'll never have that if they don't take it by force.

Captain Jaq Hunter and Commander Crip Castle lead this new generation against the Malibor. The time has come to reenter the war and reclaim what should be theirs.

The crew returns to fulfill their destiny and honor their parents’ legacy.

The battle is joined.

This is the first book in the Starship Lost military sci-fi series from military sci-fi Dragon Award finalist and Amazon international best-selling author Craig Martelle. It's perfect for fans of Rick Partlow, JN Chaney, and Joshua Dalzelle. Download it today!

No part of this book was written by AI–a human author continues to fight the good fight.

can't wait for more

It was their parents war now it is the next generations turn and they want to go home to peace. But their enemy the Malibor is determined to keep up the fight. So, the Captain and Commander must lead this new generation in a fight to reclaim what is theirs.
This was an action packed, exciting book one of the series, and I can’t wait for more. Author Martelle and narrator Burke really clicked on this book it was wonderful to listen to I hope they keep teaming up for the remainder of the series because they have something special.

Unfortunately this was the wrong book for me.

Unfortunately I was in the wrong audience to enjoy this one 😔. It certainly wasn't a bad story but it never enthralled me.
Ryan Kennard Burke is a great narrator too.

Here's a quote that caught my attention to share with you:

"She said it like she’d just eaten an unsavory serving of mushy peas on licorice bread."

Lost in Space

As humans went to the stars, they continued to fight amongst themselves. Their ship, the Chrysalis, was slowing dying. The damage was extensive and this ship had no escape pods or life boats. The captain was doing everything he could. He even dove into central shaft and worked on the primary ventilation system. He bypassed the control to turn it on 100%. They were blind with no sensors and were headed away from their planet, Septimus that they had been defending from the Malibor. They had to keep the ship together long enough to make the necessary repairs to come back and help Septimus. They kept flying.

50 years later, only one crewmember remains from the original crew. The new crew that was born and trained on the ship are ready to return. Their voyage almost a year from what they had been calling home. They are going to free their people. And right the wrongs that were committed that half a century ago. The question is would things go as planned. The chain guns had not been tested in the last 50 years. The crew was ready, but was the ship? It wasn’t going to get any better, they would rather take the chance to make things right then never return. Each crewmember knew their role, had practiced during flights near their temporary home.

Traveling at 2Gs to Farloor on their way to Septimus, they find a weapons platform and quickly take it out. All of a sudden, a Malibor gunship appears. The electromagnetic guns fire from the Chrysalis on the gunship. Meanwhile the sensor team discovers the gunship is running cold. There was no venting of atmosphere or reactor going critical. So why was it there but unoccupied? They have a one week journey to Septimus. What has happened in the last 50 years? And so it begins…
