Publisher's summary

Renegade Star, Book One

Jace Hughes is a Renegade.

That means taking almost any job that comes his way, no matter the situation. So long as he can keep his ship floating, he's free to live the life he wants. But that all changes when he meets Abigail Pryar, a nun looking for safe passage out of the system. Too bad there's something off about the cargo she's carrying.

Jace knows he shouldn't ask too many questions, but when strange sounds start coming from inside the large, metal box, he can't help but check it out. Big mistake. To make matters worse, he's being pursued by unknown ships - people who want that cargo. Does Jace give up the goods and hand over the nun ...or does he risk it all for an even bigger payout?

Renegade Atlas, book Two

The search for Earth has begun.

After barely escaping the Union's grasp, The Renegade Star is off to parts unknown. Every member of its crew is a wanted fugitive. None of them can ever return home.

But all is not lost. Thanks to Lex, a strange girl with a remarkable gift, the path to Earth has been revealed. According to ancient myth, Earth holds valuable treasures, lost technology, and endless secrets, ripe for the taking. Jace and his new friends have a chance to discover it all, but only if they can keep Lex out of the Union's grasp.

Doing so won't be easy. With enemies on all sides, the deck is stacked against them, but nothing in this universe comes easy when you're a Renegade.

If you're a fan of Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, or Leviathan Wakes, you'll love this epic, space opera thriller.

Warning: This book contains action, cussing, and general badassery. Listen at your own risk.

A fun read !!

Main character is a typical cocky rogue, fun adventurous. Hilarious. Fun story to pass the time. Luke Daniels performance adds depth to the characters and enhances the storyline.

EXCELLENTLY WRITTEN AND WELL PERFORMED.

Most enjoyable. A good space opera series. Jace Hughes is a very dynamic character. The way he overcome obstacles is fantastic and a great laugh. Luke Daniels, of course brought all the individual characters to life with his superb performance/narration. The plot is excellent and the enemies were challenging. Very well written and I am glad I got the boxed set of the first two books. I am looking forward to the next boxed set of books 3 and 4. Well worth the credit. Thank you Audible for the boxed sets.

Very good first two books

The books are great. I can’t wait to download the next bundle. Like Daniels, need I say more. He brings every book to life. Hands down best narrator!

Like listening to a new Firefly story!

Luke Daniels sounds kinda like Nathan Fillion and Jace Hughes acts like Malcolm Reynolds, so these books have been a treat to listen to!

Great choice if you're jonesing for firefly

You can easily see this being in the same, or at least a similar, universe as the venerable Joss Whedon classic. It's not identical, and that's a good thing.

Not great literature, just fun

I'm hooked. JN Chaney has created a storyline that is fun, fun, fun. Luke Daniels is fabulous in his narration also. For a sci-fi fan, this series will never be great literature, but who cares? The story is engaging (in my opinion more so because the characters are allowed to curse) and totally satisfying.
