The Space Navy Series Books One & Two: Compilation of the Kindle novellas "Josiah Trenchard and the Might of Fortitude" & "Josiah Trenchard and the Morgenstern"

By Jonathon Fletcher

The "Space Navy" series is a blend of space opera with a heavy dose of military science fiction and has been described as "Star Trek meets Full Metal Jacket"... Commander Josiah Trenchard is a no-nonsense, foul mouthed, alcohol-fuelled action hero. He's been fighting hard in the war that's been raging between the United Worlds and the insurgents ever since the Belatu-Cadros uprising on Mars, four years ago. When Trenchard is unexpectedly re-assigned to an untested prototype hunter-killer vessel called the "Might of Fortitude", he is thrown into a series of deadly adventures that will test his mettle to breaking point. While hunting bloodthirsty pirates who have unleashed a reign of terror throughout the asteroid belt, Trenchard struggles to cope with a woefully inexperienced crew of misfits and reprobates and must put his life on the line to save his ship, his crew, and the honour of the Space Navy. After insurgent terrorists kill thousands of innocent people on Earth, he and his crew are then sent on a mission, deep within the Kuiper belt, to protect a facility which is vital to the war effort. The heavily armed pirates who prowl the asteroid belt are also racing to be the first to occupy the space station and steal a dark military secret, hidden within. During the ensuing battle, a terrible "something" wakens from its cryogenic slumber and carves an indiscriminate wake of death and destruction throughout the space station. Can Trenchard save the day? Just who is the mysterious leader of the pirates and what are the dark motives of the Papaver Corporation? Will he ever get a quiet glass of rum and a smoke? Step aboard the "Might of Fortitude" to find out... https://sites.google.com/view/spacenavy #SpaceNavy #DrinkRumAndKillBadGuys @JonGardener This is a compilation of the Kindle books, parts ONE and TWO in the SPACE NAVY series ("Josiah Trenchard and the Might of Fortitude" & "Josiah Trenchard and the Morgenstern").
