About this listen
WHEN IN DOUBT, WING IT.
The Stellar Thief collects together the first four books in the Emberling series, a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled space opera that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat!
Slim Taggart has stolen plenty of things in his short life. That's what happens when you come from a family of planet-hopping thieves.
But when he somehow finds himself in possession of a shard from an ancient alien tech known as the Emberling, the heat is suddenly cranked up to scorching levels.
Before Taggart knows it, a half-dozen criminal syndicates are on his tail, desperate for the powerful payload.
And that's before he manages to take aboard a motley crew of characters who each openly admit they'd kill for it, too.
Luckily, Taggart has a plan. He always does.
He just hasn't quite figured out what it is yet...
Included in this box set:
- Exiled
- Recoil
- Surge
- Valor
Note: This series is a loving tribute to classic pulp sci-fi. If you're seeking hard sci-fi, you might want to search elsewhere. But for those who crave thrilling escapades on distant worlds teeming with bizarre alien lifeforms, look no further — the Emberling series awaits!

"It started out with a bang and just got better." -Goodreads reviewer Over 1,000 pages of nonstop action! If there's one thing Adam Eckhart knows, it's that humans are trouble. After all, he is one. As captain of the Marathon, a cobbled-together ship crewed by aliens and androids scraping by on odd jobs at the outskirts of settled space, Adam has plenty to worry about without adding his own species to the mix. But when a pair of mortally wounded humans cross his path during a heist gone wrong, he finds himself compelled to save them. Big mistake. Because if there's one more thing Adam knows...

Two decades later, the last chance to save billions of souls rests with the dead starship's only occupants: a pair of boys raised by a deranged robot. When Elixr crashes on a barren world, they join forces with an impoverished girl living on the edge of society to search for answers. Who are they? Why have they survived? And what could Elixr possibly do to save a world on the precipice of collapse? The more they learn, the greater the stakes become...

Once every four years, the Earth Alliance Naval Academy is included in a war game...or rather, the Wargame: On a distant frontier colony, cadets must repair, recommission, and crew a fleet of old, mothballed warships for a simulated fleet action against a group of seasoned veterans using top-of-the-line warships. After some meddling on the part of the Admiralty, many of the Academy's best are assigned to the oldest, smallest hulk in the Wargame, the unfortunately named corvette, Chihuahua.
