Ben and the crew have set course for an alien planet, but the inhabitants are far from what they expected. They have answers that could get their baby Viraquin home but Ben isn’t sure he’s willing to pay the price for the well guarded secret.
En route to the planet, they receive a distress call from a crippled ship and are bound by law to help. The life support system onboard is failing and the crew is dying. Ben and Lois are their last hope. The power couplings needed to ensure their survival are easy enough to get, they just have to be plundered from another ship. A perfect way for Ben and his crew to break into the space pirate business. Too bad they’ve targeted one of the most ruthless aliens in the galaxy as their mark.
It’s a race against time to escape destruction, save the crippled ship and learn the secret that can safely deliver the baby Viraquin home.

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).
