Publisher's Summary

Who will claim the ancient, awesome arsenal awaiting aboard the House of the Silent Moons?

Star Lawyers Corporation must defend a known criminal in Pirate Court to prevent ancient technologies from falling into the hands of expansionist star nations, which will lead to a new era of galactic war. Only pirate Captain Flavio Tavares, who faces terrible judgment by his peers, can lead Tyler Matthews to a derelict starbase abandoned by the collapsing Galactic Empire long ago. 

The House of Silent Moons orbits a remote gas giant amid hundreds of planetoids and asteroids. Aboard this massive structure, where defenders expected to return victorious from an apocalyptic struggle with ruthless enemies, the doomed Imperial forces stockpiled powerful weapons and tech modules more advanced than anything available in Tyler's 32nd century civilization. Star Lawyers must locate the starbase quickly, because the clock is ticking. Aggressive forces hostile to the Terran Commonwealth also seek the lost trove of technology. To spring the guilty pirate captain from trial by his own people, Tyler faces a court where the judge blasts convicted defendants on the spot in trials that last a few hours at most. And the court appointed prosecutor, Kaito, is the middle son of the Matthews Family's greatest foe, Hideki Tsuchiya.  

Expect action in deep space, fighting in the streets of the pirate city of Port Royal, and knock-down-drag-out legal battles in the Pirate courtroom.

Classics in the making

Unlike the author I am not very good with my words. But I do want to say that I have enjoyed these books quite a bit. The narrator is awesome and deserves recognition. The story is entertaining and detailed and I have fallen for all the characters and the style of the story. I cannot wait for another installment!

Love this series!

Tyler and JB have been tasked with 2 distinct cases which are physically light years apart. They have to separate the team to be able to cover them both. We follow Tyler and Suzi to the Space Pirates home world to try a case in a court where the Judge declares guilt and then blasts the defendant, or anyone else who irritates him. I am ready for the next book in the series but don't think it's on Audible yet.

Sci-Fi Comedy/Action AND Courtroom Drama? Oh Yes !

So I've been listening to this series for a year or so now and I love it. The cast of Star Layers is fantastic. Each one of the crew/firm plays a key function in the story and offer their own spice to the story.

Scott does a great job at bringing this eclectic group of lawyers, mercs, hookers, and pirates to life.

Hey Tom, please keep these coming bro!

fun to listen to

this is fun to listen too. however it does sometimes read a little like a teenage boys fantasy.
