About this listen
Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay to use as cover art for a book he was writing.
It looked really cool, like a slightly charred old military artifact from 70 years ago. It was possibly part of an engine. After cleaning it up (it was found in a cow field), he placed the strange device on his dorm room desk directly over the wireless charging port. That woke it up.
Unknown to him, the disabled starship hiding on the moon could now communicate with the missing part.
The ship needed two things:
1) The missing part.
2) A crew to pass itself off as a manned ship (AIs were not supposed to control ships autonomously).
Now, after finishing college, they need to find a way to get the ship to land somewhere safe, supply it, and return the missing component, the artifact.
They suspect the most challenging part will be getting into space. They soon find that the real problem is what awaits them when they reach the alien trading center.

Story
In the first book, Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay. It turned out to be the missing part from an alien spacecraft. One with an AI that needed a crew so it could pass itself off as a non-AI ship. Having survived their first adventure in space, they now had a new, larger, and much faster ship. Returning to Earth should have been the easy part. They also had a wedding to plan. Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned. They are sent to a new destination in space to meet with a new alien species, with whom the other aliens' first contact didn't go very smoothly. Along the way, they ...

An ancient derelict yields some unexpected small surprises, and the crew acquires some unusual new crew members. Mee Keralatazaku, the rather troublesome ruler of the planet Kanpripticon, has them take her to a very strange and secretive location. When they return, all hell breaks loose as the Kipitz try to kill Mee Keralatazaku and everyone else on Kanpripticon. She, who must not be annoyed, is now very, very angry.

When they reach the distant area of space, they find not one but three different races: one whose looks are terrifying, one whose current actions are horrible, and one that has accidentally opened a worse ...

They didn't anticipate how far the pre-spacefaring species they turned over their broken-down maintenance facility to would subvert their plan.

The war between different alien groups lasted for over 2,300 years. But Keith Robinson didn't know anything about that. He assumed that the job he had applied for was to work on an Arctic research ship. He thought that he would be assembling parts for upgraded sonar buoys. He thought wrong. The AI on the derelict spaceship was open to lying if that could finally get the ship repaired. Hiring a repair technician from the primitive planet Earth was a crazy plan. And even crazier, it worked. After salvaging an alien ship, Keith now finds himself the ship's owner. But something is deadly wrong ...

The modern gods are gone; they have been removed from power by the old gods. The old gods are back: Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Roman, Hindu, Aztec, Celtic, Japanese, Chinese, Babylonian, and many others. The first thing they do is kill off over 1 billion people who have been judged as Evil. They also eliminate the weapons of all of the militaries, all nuclear power fuel, and waste. Gordon Anderson was a clerk at a 7-11, and he was (as usual) late for work. That is suddenly the least of his problems. The world is changing; everything is in turmoil. However, the most disturbing fact may be that ...

Story
Kaylee Green was an Illegal Alien, one that had traveled 45.7 light-years to get away from her pursuers. A race that wanted to exterminate her kind. Not only was she an alien, but she was not entirely biological. Now, she was enjoying life as a human. She had recently graduated college and was happily living with her human boyfriend. Then the police show up asking about a severed hand from a six-year-old cold-case investigation. They want to know why her fingerprints and DNA both match the hand. She was trying hard not to panic. Her carefully crafted false identity was rapidly falling apart...

Story
This is the humorous misadventures of Steve White, who was taking a stroll and looking out over a small pond to see if any of the turtles were out. When suddenly, he finds himself over 400 light-years away. Surrounded by strange aliens and desperately trying to find a way out of this impossible situation. He "fakes it” and accepts the role of the Earth Ambassador to the Pathless, the somewhat insectoid partial humanoid 4-sexed race he now finds himself with. His goal is to return to the Earth.

Story
Sometimes a farmer can turn a profit by diversifying his crops . . . Tom Savage and Gwen Wilder have a farm hand now, Silas Vick. And Silas has some ideas of new things they can grow out here. That might be good, since a lot of stuff got destroyed recently, meaning they'll have to wait on more equipment from Lute before continuing experiments. Tom's got other responsibilities, too, with a list that seems to be growing along with the farm. At least Lisa’s capabilities are expanding, with greater communications and teleportation capabilities. Meanwhile, Wink and Jinxie have more smuggling ...

Story
The Ogres seemed to be 'monsters,' but they were monsters that could be reasoned with—as long as you understood what motivated them. Several new aliens have now joined the fray: One that seems helpful and friendly, but something from its past may have kicked over a hornet's nest—a really nasty threat that hasn't been seen in centuries. A new race may be the most dangerous they have encountered. They have a weapon against which they have no defense. To top it all off, a massive swarm of intelligent insectoid aliens has been expanding, and their former enemies, the Meduala, are now ...

Story
In the first book, On Mars, Jason stumbled across the escape pod to a 3,500-year-old derelict spacecraft. The AI for the ship then informed Jason that he was now the Captain of a massive alien Starship due to him having traces of alien DNA. That 'should' have been good news. But the bad news was that Jason's DNA has an additional trait, one that shouldn't be there... The last time anyone had one of the forbidden DNA traits, it started the war that left the ship derelict.

Story
Jake’s commute home takes an unexpected detour, leaving him stranded on a completely different planet. He soon finds himself in a high-tech hospital in a world populated by strange alien races. However, the new world is not your standard Isekai story. These are not the cliché cute monster girls or the generic characters that look like they were borrowed from a video game. In this world, he is the primitive, has no magic or cheat abilities, and has no clue what will happen. Jake tries to learn to live in the new world but discovers that not everything is what it seems.
