For self-taught engineer Ben Griminski, life is perilous and hard. Living on the junk world of Torrent Four, Ben scours the vast fields of trash, wreckage, and derelict ships in search of anything of value while avoiding the Salvage Scalpers, a gang that takes whatever it wants and enslaves anyone with a knack for finding valuables in the endless mounds of trash. For many people in his position, life is unbearable, but Ben has a secret.

Buried deep in the salvage fields, hidden by mounds of rubbish, lies a Kestrel-class starship. And after a decade of tireless work, she’s almost ready to fly. The Royal Imperium rules the galaxy with an iron fist. Freedom is just a dream on the hundreds of worlds under their domain. But in space, a person with a fast ship, an able crew, and the right connections can enjoy the last vestiges of liberty, as long as they stay under the radar.

Ben Griminski has a ship, but he’ll need a crew and plenty of Zexum to fuel her if they hope to escape their dreary lives on Torrent Four. It’s a challenge worth taking on, and if his luck holds, he might just discover what life is like among the stars. Kestrel Class Volume One is the first three novels, unabridged, in the Kestrel Class six-book, best-selling series.

From master storyteller Toby Neighbors comes an epic adventure of discovery and freedom that will have you on the edge of your seat.

If you love high adventure among the stars with a rag-tag band of unlikely heroes, the Kestrel Class series is for you.
