Summary

Knocking at death’s door. Bargaining for a second chance. Seems like a heck of a way to find out about an alien invasion....

Vietnam vet Albert Jenkins is battling a bulging waistline and a passion for drink. So when a towering pile of scrap rocket parts falls and crushes the stubborn curmudgeon, he thinks it’s finally the end. But just as he’s about to take one final breath, a snarky alien parasite offers him a deal: His life in return for sharing his body.

With a little coaxing from his new pop-culture-loving inner resident, AJ’s broken carcass improves so much that even an old flame is impressed. But his bright outlook fizzles when he discovers he's at ground zero of a galactic conspiracy to strip Earth of precious resources humans don't even know exist.

Can the unlikely partners join forces and use AJ's rusty military skills to raise the alarm? Or, will the alien invaders put him down once and for all?

Junkyard Pirate is the first book in an imaginative space opera series. If you like grizzled soldiers, clever twists and turns, and intergalactic tactical pairings, then you’ll love Jamie McFarlane’s fast-paced alien adventure.

Buy Junkyard Pirate to boot the invaders back to where they came from today!

interesting characters!

A slightly unusual set of characters lend a refreshing perspective to a solid scifi tale!

sci fi for children...!!!!

Not the most thrilling or complex book I've ever read...
The narrator does an excellent job with extremely ordinary characters...
I highly recommend THE HIDDEN SHIP...

it's ok

the narrator is very good and interesting to listen to but the story is just boring, I thought it would be more interesting but it really isn't.
