Book details
The Pirates are back, and the galaxy will not wait
Joe Bishop and the Merry Band of Pirates have never been the biggest force in the galaxy, but they have survived by staying unpredictable. In Ground State, the margin for error gets even thinner as their latest scramble leaves them with a problem they cannot simply outgun.
New threats move fast, and the kind of enemy you can see coming is not the one that keeps you up at night. With pressure mounting on every front, Joe is forced into the familiar rhythm of desperate planning, risky timing, and leaning on the one ally who can turn a bad idea into a workable plan.
As alliances strain and the stakes keep climbing, the next move has to be smarter than brave. The Pirates will need nerve, luck, and just enough chaos to stay alive long enough to change the outcome.
