Publisher's summary
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!

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...

Daniel Rice is a government science investigator whose specialty is solving seemingly intractable problems through scientific inquiry. But Daniel's intellectual strength is sorely tested by the bizarre realities he finds in the quantum world. Extra dimensions of space trap the unwary, probability replaces cause and effect, and time isn't what anyone imagined. The other side of the mirror is a place full of dangers, but it's also somewhere a dedicated scientist can uncover secrets that connect humans with something greater.
