Rebel Galaxy Books
Their mission was to colonize the stars. Now, they are humanity’s last hope for freedom. Captain Gideon Wallace is the commander of Trailblazer Eight , an interstellar colony ship carrying six hundred souls to a distant star. Their first stop along the way is the thriving human settlement on Aurora, also known as Proxima Centauri b. IRIS, the ship’s robot caretaker, awakens the crew early with a chilling message from the president of the United Star Systems: “Earth has fallen to an extraterrestrial invasion.” Wallace’s orders are to stay as far away from Earth as possible, and to pick a new destination so that they can’t be followed. The survival of the human race depends on them. But when Wallace discovers the true nature of the enemy’s plans, he realizes that running is no longer an option. They have no choice but to fight back. Take flight on the Trailblazer with USA Today Bestselling Authors J.N. Chaney and Jasper T. Scott in this thrilling new science fiction series. If you enjoy stories about space colonization, alien invasions, and monsters that give you nightmares while you’re awake, then Rebel Galaxy is the series that you’ve been looking for.
The first manned expedition beyond our solar system leads to a deadly encounter... Lieutenant Dane Clark, second-in-command of Trailblazer One, is flying with over 300 colonists on a historic voyage to Proxima Centauri b, humanity's first step toward establishing a new home among the stars. But their arrival reveals a chilling mystery—a strange signal is pulsing from the planet's surface, luring them in. When a crew descends to investigate, what they uncover is beyond comprehension—and beyond escape. Isolated over four light-years from Earth, the crew must decide whether to establish a colony on this alien world or turn around and run back to Earth.
Run and hide, or fight for freedom. Against all odds, Gideon saved his crew from the Draconians, and he even rescued the colonists—but they aren't his colonists; they're from a different Trailblazer. Now they've found refuge on a planet called Sanctuary, but their Draconian ally, Rolam, has informed them that their safe haven belongs to a powerful race of sentient machines, and it might not be as safe as it seems. Gideon's mission is clear: to escape and find their people. But with the leader of the colony forbidding anyone to leave, and Rolam pushing his own agenda, the path ahead looks treacherous. While they are still deciding what to do, a chance encounter with a mysterious rebel faction presents a third option, and Gideon must decide who to trust. The stakes are high, and dark forces are conspiring from the shadows. Even the slightest misstep will mean death, or worse—enslavement to the Dracs.
Caught between alien slavers and rebel soldiers, their only hope for freedom lies far beyond the war. After narrowly surviving the battle of Alyrus, Captain Gideon Wallace and his crew seek refuge among the mysterious Vanguard, a powerful alliance of rebels and sentient alien machines that is fighting to topple the Draconian Empire. But trust is a fragile thing, and Vanguard has already broken Gideon's by locking up one of his people and posting armed guards to watch their every move. When Gideon uncovers Vanguard's hidden agenda, he realizes that they must escape before they become casualties of the war. His mission: to find and unite the last free humans in the galaxy and found a colony far beyond the reaches of the Dracs and Vanguard alike. But first, he must track down Dr. Clark and the survivors of Trailblazer Six. Little does he know, he's flying into a trap, and Clark is the bait. Caught between Draconian warlords, Vanguard's enigmatic "eternals," and a traitor within his own ranks, Gideon must somehow chart a course that doesn't end in death or enslavement for his crew—and while he's at it, find a new home for the human race. Rebel Galaxy: Vanguard is a gripping, high-stakes sci-fi adventure filled with treachery, rebellion, and the struggle for survival against impossible odds.
