Backyard Starship

Van Tudor finds more than the family farm when he returns to Iowa.

He finds his inheritance, and it’s a starship, and a legacy passed down from his grandfather, who was a Peacemaker of the highest order.

Charged with keeping law and order among the stars, Van’s journey begins with a wisecracking combat AI who tells him everything he needs to know to survive among the lawless reaches of deep space. The first order of business: his grandfather’s ship, scarred and battle-tested, waiting his command in the darkness of an Iowa barn.

Along the way, Van finds more friends, more enemies, and a lifetime of breathless adventure as he travels known space with one mission in mind.

Keep the peace. Protect those who need it. And always, always take friends. It’s dangerous out there for a farmboy. . . even if he was born to join the fight.

With thirty books and counting, and over 100,000 excellent reviews, Backyard Starship is the adventure you’ve been looking for.
