The Kaelen Extraction

A Billy Firebrand Adventure (The Galaxy's Worst Mercenaries, Book 1)

Once, they were the galaxy’s most fearsome mercenaries…

A lot has changed since then. Still, a friend is a friend. So, when one of their old crewmates dies under mysterious circumstances, the infamous Billy Firebrand calls the old crew back together for one last mission. With a busted ship, a lifetime’s worth of demons, and a galactic war on the line, they’ll face odds they probably couldn’t have beaten in their prime.

These days… they don’t stand a chance.

Ride with Billy, Shotgun, Stick, El, and Mouth as the galaxy’s worst mercenaries face impossible odds, hidden enemies, and… hybrid flying squirrel baboons?

Fans of The Worst Ship in the Fleet and Rogue Agent will love this new series full of swashbuckling adventure, witty banter, and plenty of sci-fi fun. Tag along with this crew of has-beens as they redefine what it means to be heroes (and not always in a good way). Set in the fan-favorite universe of Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes, you don't need to have listen to that series to fully enjoy this action-packed full-length novel.

A fun listen

It reminds me of the old Doc Savage books I read as a kid but the characters are funny and more than a little nuts. Lots of dialogue and the story jumps from one crazy situation to another.

Amazing story! Loved the intwerweaving of tales.

This might be the most fun book I have read in 2025. You will love this Billy firebrand tale if you enjoy fun sci-fi with good characters and interesting humorous upbeat battles.

Super fun!

Loved it. The cast (especially El) and the story rocked- totally worth a credit.

Good opening book for a series . Might get the rest of them

I liked the book. Since this was the first book, there was a lot of character and universe building . But it was good. It was funny . Would recommend.

religious propaganda

was ok until I realized it's just religious propaganda disguised as fiction. now it seems insidious.
