Author:
Matthew O. Duncan is part of the resurgence of Old School Sci-fi.  His books are a mix of Military Sci-fi, Fantasy, Romance, and Mystery weaved together with non-stop action.  Matt started his writing career as a playwright. He won a number of awards and had his plays produced on local stages.  He put his pen down in the late ’90s but picked it up again in 2011.

Jack Reilly’s luck ran out just before the war did. Released on a medical discharge shortly after the end of the war with the Serkins, he went out into the galaxy looking for a job. Signing onto the Glacier Runner 17, an old and rundown cargo ship, Rielly finds himself working for a clueless Captain, mixed up in an intergalactic conspiracy, on the run from assassins and involved with two women in relationships that he could only call ‘complicated.’

Fan’s of Matthew O. Duncan will recognize the universe as the same as from the New Terra Sagas, but this is not a sequel. This is a stand-alone, spin-off with new characters, new worlds and in a different format. Told in the first person from Reilly’s perspective, this is a fast moving, non-stop sci-fi adventure.

By the time we got to the storage bay the stolen parts had been removed from the shuttle.  Knowing they would be moving quickly to try and find a way off the station, we went directly to the chief engineers control room on deck 29.  Three lower-level engineering crewmen were manning post in the room that monitored the key power and defensive sections of the station.  The moment we walked in the three got to their feet and stood at attention.  


“As you were,” Mitchell ordered as she headed directly to a vacant workstation.  “Do what you need to do,” she said to me as I stepped in front of her and took a seat at the station.


“Is there anything I can help you with, Commander?” One of the men asked.
