About this ebook

Ben Roberts hears voices… alien voices.

Not the kind anyone else believes, but the kind that thrust him into the middle of a sci-fi comedy full of first contact gone wrong, dangerous aliens, and a galactic tug-of-war. When word of his strange ability spreads across the stars, Ben rockets to the top of an A.I. collective’s most wanted list. Their plan? Turn him into a cybernated slave. A bleak prospect—but tempting when they dangle everything he ever dreamed of in exchange.

A headstrong, sarcastic spaceship with an intelligence of its own shows up to help, but Ben doesn’t know if it can be trusted. When a powerful alien refugee hiding on Earth becomes the target of invasion, Ben risks everything to keep it out of A.I. hands.

If he fails, the balance of power across the galaxy could collapse, leaving humanity defenseless.


Packed with laugh-out-loud banter, quirky aliens, reluctant heroics, and a sentient starship that refuses to shut up, Hometown Space Pirate is a funny space opera adventure that kicks off the 4-book Viraquin Voyage series.

Step aboard and see how much chaos one small-town space pirate can cause.

a few typos and punctuation errors but they did not distract from the fun read. I really enjoyed this book.

About the author

Hold onto your warp drives and wizard hats. Chuck Harrelson and Kerrie Flanagan are C.G. Harris, the award-winning coauthor team responsible for some of the most thrilling escapades in the multiverse! Together they take readers on a devilishly daring dive into the hellish world of "The Judas Files," a wild ride through young adult dystopia with "The Rax," and a space pirate adventure full of cosmic swashbuckling action in the "Viraquin Voyage". 

When they're not busy crafting the next great American novel or penning a haiku about the existential dread of Mondays, you can find them in the throes of what could only be described as a culinary Cold War, fiercely debating which is the superior pie, New York's big, floppy, fold-it-like-a-newspaper slice or Chicago's deep-dish cheese casserole with a crust? 

To this day the debate remains unresolved. But in the heated exchange of doughy discourse, one thing becomes clear: when it comes to pizza, the only real winner is whoever gets the last slice. 

The Nine, the first book in The Judas Files series, won the Indie Author Project regional book award for adult fiction for Colorado and was a finalist in the Book Blogger Novel of the Year (2021).
