After being dishonorably discharged from the Alliance Space Force for failing to follow orders, Captain Justin Rogers and his uniquely unique robot friend Argo have hard choices to make. It wasn't just his faith that kept Justin from destroying a ship full of innocent religious refugees, who his commanders insisted were ruthless pirates. Still, in his heart of hearts, Justin knew he had to take a stand and couldn't let these Solar Alliance atrocities continue. After the destruction of his promising military career and six months in an Alliance Martian lock-up, Justin returns to the family business, inheriting his family's aging, century-old space freighter, the USFA Independence.

The Independence, or the Flying Dutchman, as some have come to call it, has a reputation as a ghost ship, having been found abandoned years earlier after Justin's father, grandfather, and crew mysteriously disappeared without a trace while transporting a secret cargo of ancient Martian artifacts. Justin and Argo are sure these artifacts hold the key to his family's disappearance and could very well be the key to defeating the evil Romanesque Solar Alliance or could threaten the destruction of life as we know it!

Now, against all odds, Captain Rogers, his wisecracking robot Argo, and their rag-tag crew of newly found friends must pit their aging space freighter against the full force of the Solar Alliance Stealth Ship fleet! If successful, their heroic actions may save their home on Ceres Prime and possibly Earth, Mars, and the Universe itself!

Eric Ebert Smith is a Christian Apologist, amateur astronomer, space and science enthusiast, and much like Argo, a lover of old science-fiction movies. Eric Smith spent over three decades working in California law enforcement as a police officer, detective sergeant, lieutenant, and finally as chief of police, retiring as the commander of a state police academy in 2021. Concurrently, Chief Smith spent over 32 years serving his country as a Maritime Law Enforcement Specialist in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves. Chief Smith was recalled to active duty several times, including Operation Desert Shield / Storm on September 11, 2001, and finally, during the Deep-Water Horizon disaster. During 9/11, Chief Warrant Officer Smith and his Sea Marshal Teams conducted over 6000 boardings on high-risk foreign vessels entering U.S. ports over four years. Eric Ebert Smith is now retired and living with his wife and two cats in the United Free State of Idaho.

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
There is humor throughout this read with pop-culture references that makes one chuckle with each new chapter, while navigating the numerous original sci-fi terms that peaks one's interest. One has to give kudos to the author for doing his due diligence with scientific and religious facts and information. One cannot help but love Argo the Robot and his sassy attitude. The inclusion of "God" conversations within a sci-fi read is like a breath of fresh air. Now, if only I could find my own Moon Panda!
