Pioneers

By Timothy Mayer and Sean-Michael Argo

Colonizing space is risky business...

The Joby-Rath is a starship carrying a crew of freelance colonists on a deep space mission to settle one of the savage planets on the ragged edge of the universe, and what begins as just another paycheck becomes a continuous fight as the pioneers come face to face with deadly alien organisms, ruthless outlaws, corporate conspiracy, and a serial killer in their midst.

What starts as a mission to establish humanity's newest frontier becomes a desperate battle for survival against impossible odds.

Ryan Gray, a detective with a troubled past, Waylon Mars, a former game warden following his daughter into a new life, Chief Combs, a black-listed starship captain, and a cunning double agent Nadja must protect a fractured community of scientists, engineers, spacers, and workers as they tame this hostile new world.

Perfect for fans of Firefly, The Expanse, and Alien...this is hard sci-fi with a frontier heart.
