Everyone has annoying voices in their head. Geddy's is an alien called Eli.

When disgraced pilot Geddy Starheart's only ride off-world is stolen, he has no choice but to team up with a trash trawler's motley crew to find it. Along the way, he stumbles across an ancient conspiracy that threatens the entire universe. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

When civilization is an alien experiment, one unlikely hero must rewrite the ending.

In the fractured galaxy of 2427, disgraced pilot Geddy Starheart thought his biggest problem was retrieving his stolen starship. Little did he know he was about to become entangled in a cosmic conspiracy that threatens all of existence.

When Geddy teams up with a motley salvage crew to reclaim his custom-built vessel, he discovers an unexpected passenger: an alien entity called Eli, who reveals the shocking truth about the mysterious Zelnads. These cryptic beings created humankind as a test, and now they're ready to hit the reset button.

Armed with this knowledge and haunted by his past mistakes, Geddy has to navigate treacherous alliances, confront his personal demons, and win the trust of a formidable warrior princess whose homeworld stands as the last bastion against the Zelnad threat.

Aboard the aptly named For Sale Make Offer, Geddy and his unlikely crew race across the stars, desperately trying to reassemble a long-defunct galactic alliance for one final, epic showdown. The fate of countless worlds hangs in the balance as Geddy fights not just for redemption, but for the very soul of the universe.

Rocket Repo is the thrilling first installment in CP James' Reassembly series, a space opera adventure that combines high-stakes action, unforgettable characters, and mind-bending extraterrestrial mysteries.

Prepare for a journey that will challenge your perceptions of civilization, free will, and humanity's place in the universe.

About the Author

I write engaging, unique, and fast-paced sci-fi. Expect smart characters and short chapters that move along at a cinematic pace. I have the attention span of a minnow, and being 2024, I figure you might as well. I write books that tempt you to read the next chapter because you know it'll be short, punchy, and consequential. I recently released Xeno Xoo, book 4 of my Reassembly series, a humorous space opera. My dystopian trilogy, The Cytocorp Saga, is available wherever eBooks are sold. I currently live in the magical city of Cuenca, Ecuador. It's the best place I've ever lived. When I'm not writing page-devouring science fiction, you can find me thinking about it or marketing it. For more about me and my fiction, visit cpjames.com or email directly at cp@cpjames.com. Like the C.P. James Facebook page at facebook.com/authorcpjames.
