Accidental Astronaut

Dr. Erik Manheim needed a warrior. A Navy SEAL. Someone who could help him confront the threat he uncovered in ancient ruins—evidence that a rogue planet brings devastation every time it passes Earth. Instead, he got Jack Schafer, a hungover bush pilot in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, Jack is swept into a mission he was never meant to survive—one that stretches from the Alaskan wilderness to the stars beyond. Humanity's future hangs in the balance… and its best hope may be a reluctant pilot who wasn't supposed to be here at all.

Jack Schafer saved Earth by accident. Saving his newly adopted home, Dravos, won't be any easier. Dravos has fallen into a new star system, sunlight blazing down on a civilization that's never known day or night. Its people are terrified. Its nobles are plotting. Its king wants answers Jack doesn't have. And the Archon Draven—the centuries-old tyrant Jack thought he'd disposed of—is recovering in the mountains, preparing for his next move. With rebellion spreading and old enemies becoming uneasy allies, Jack, Lisa, and Erik must hold a fragile kingdom together long enough to strike back.

Jack Schafer followed his greatest enemy through a wormhole—and stranded himself on the wrong side of the galaxy. Lost on a brutal alien world of dinosaurs, rebels, and empires built on stolen god-tech, Jack is cut off from Earth, from his allies, and from the woman he loves. But survival is the easy part. Archon Draven is still alive. Still plotting. And now he's found something far worse than an army... an emperor as competent and ruthless as he is.
