A punchy space opera of ragtag crews, desperate last stands, pirate fleets, sentient machines, and system-wide space battles.

The Dellan League is running out of time.

Their pirate empire is collapsing, their enemies are closing in, and they have only one path left to survive.

Conquer Matria.

Bosun Gus Johansson and the crew of Corvus suddenly find themselves at the center of a full-scale invasion. Pirate fleets are on the move, an ancient Imperial assault carrier is back in action, and Matria’s peaceful worlds were never meant to fight a war.

Gus and his misfit crew were good at raids, rescues, and impossible missions.

Stopping an invasion fleet is something else entirely.

Now Gus will need every trick he knows, every favor he can call in, and every ally willing to stand with them—before the Dellan League burns Matria to the ground.

Corvus Defends is Book 3 in the Matrian Trilogy series. Perfect for readers who love Jack Campbell, B.V. Larson, and action-packed military space opera filled with daring missions, found-family crews, and large-scale space battles.

REVIEWS Icon
I grew up in Southeast Missouri. It was a simple time of three TV channels, flirting with girls, and avoiding the cops while trying to get someone to buy you a bottle of Boones Farm.
Tired of flipping burgers for cash, I headed to the Big City (St. Louis) and joined the US Coast Guard. Lovingly known as: Uncle Sam's Confused Group, Puddle Pirates, Coasties, and those jerks that mess up your day on the water.
After loafing there for a little over 30 years as a CWO ship's engineer, my dear old Uncle Sam told me to pack my sea bag and head ashore. Just when I was thinking of making a career of it.
I decided I had been depriving the reading public of my wit and talent long enough and so my first book, Corvus Ascending, was written.
Also, my wife told me to find something to do and stop bothering her.
She would appreciate it if you encouraged me to continue writing. It keeps me out of her hair and random bars.
