Publisher's summary

Knocking at death’s door. Bargaining for a second chance. Seems like a heck of a way to find out about an alien invasion....

Vietnam vet Albert Jenkins is battling a bulging waistline and a passion for drink. So when a towering pile of scrap rocket parts falls and crushes the stubborn curmudgeon, he thinks it’s finally the end. But just as he’s about to take one final breath, a snarky alien parasite offers him a deal: His life in return for sharing his body.

With a little coaxing from his new pop-culture-loving inner resident, AJ’s broken carcass improves so much that even an old flame is impressed. But his bright outlook fizzles when he discovers he's at ground zero of a galactic conspiracy to strip Earth of precious resources humans don't even know exist.

Can the unlikely partners join forces and use AJ's rusty military skills to raise the alarm? Or, will the alien invaders put him down once and for all?

Junkyard Pirate is the first book in an imaginative space opera series. If you like grizzled soldiers, clever twists and turns, and intergalactic tactical pairings, then you’ll love Jamie McFarlane’s fast-paced alien adventure.

Buy Junkyard Pirate to boot the invaders back to where they came from today!

Jamie McFarlane does it again!

I'm a big fan of Privateer Tales since book 1. This is a great start to a new series. Mikael does a fantastic job as always.

Good book, fun listen

Overall great book good listen. Biggest problem I had was the author doesn't know about calibers of weapons. They mentioned an AR and then talk about 7.62 ammo for it this is incorrect should be 5.56.

Fun romp

Nothing but a fun romp.
Full of everything you would expect from a pulp novel. A good listen if you are looking to stave off boredom just don’t look for logic.

Nice change of pace

Fun well delivered and written. Very little gratuitous violence, gore or sex. A lot of my listening has had some or lots of cringeworthy descriptions of the above mentioned that feel more like filler or shockers than storytelling. This book had none noticable to me .I seldom make it through a book with out taking a break or yelling at the author or characters and I did with this one definitely looking forward to more from this story.
