Wake Drift: Book One of The Broken Light Years Series

Wake Drift - Book One of The Broken Light Years Series By E.M. Thomben The job was simple. The cargo wasn’t. Freight captain Jack Harper thought he was taking a routine haul through the fractured edge of known space. But when the cargo explodes mid-flight and bounty hunters close in, Jack and his misfit crew are forced to abandon ship, run blind, and uncover a signal that should’ve been lost to history. The wreck they find isn't just old—it's impossible. Buried in its systems is a beacon fragment from the dead Stellar Transit Network—the ancient infrastructure that once held the galaxy together. And someone will kill to keep it that way. With enemies on all sides and no safe ports left, Jack must rely on his unreliable crew: a scrappy engineer with a temper, a war-weary medic, a reckless pilot, a dangerous passenger with no past, and a sarcastic maintenance robot that barely works. Together, they’ll have to outrun everyone who wants them silenced—and decide whether to bury the signal… or light it again. Perfect for fans of Firefly, Blake’s 7, and Expeditionary Force—minus the AI. Wake Drift launches a gritty, fast-paced space opera where broken people navigate broken systems in a galaxy that’s running out of time.
