GHOST SHIPS DON'T CALL FOR HELP. AND CLONES DON'T CALL YOU CAPTAIN-UNLESS THEY REMEMBER YOU. When the derelict warship Vigilance drifts out of a burn-scarred nebula, Captain Rask thinks it's just another salvage job. Then the only person awake on board-a perfect, female clone of him-calls him by name. And that's when the trouble starts. Her cryo-pod wasn't the only one warming up. The ship's dormant soldiers are beginning to stir, an ancient Imperial protocol is broadcasting across the sector, and something buried in the Vigilance's systems has decided Rask belongs to it. Now the crew of The Meridian is trapped in a collapsing maze of frozen marines, corrupted orders, and a ship that refuses to stay dead. And Rask must work with his unsettling double-Rho-to stop a resurrection that could spread across the galaxy. Because if the Vigilance wakes up fully, the Empire won't just return. It'll march. Dead Men Launch No Ships is a darkly funny, fast-paced space-opera thriller about identity, loyalty, found family, and the sacrifices we make for people who never asked to share our face.
Autorenporträt
Mark Voss is the sci-fi alter ego of Jon Smith-a multi-award-winning author, screenwriter, and musical theatre librettist.Mark/Jon had a suspiciously pleasant childhood involving table-top roleplaying, sunny holidays, and an obsessive love of all things fantasy and science-fiction. One broken bone, no braces, and only one heartbreak (not his). It all went very well.He's since written over fifty books for children, teens, and adults as Jon Smith, and-just to keep booksellers on their toes-writes crime fiction as Adi Flynn.He lives near Liverpool with his wife and two school-age kids. When he grows up, he wants to be a librarian. Or a space pirate. Possibly both.
