Warship Builder

Long before Warship Salvager, a moss-green warship from a forgotten navy falls into Saturn's rings. Jack Sterling is a contract welder on Capstan Station who owes the company four more years and pays it for every breath. When the wreck crashes into his sector with two survivors aboard, he hides it in a condemned dock and starts fixing it with stolen steel, station power and his own two hands. Every repair makes the ship stronger. Every patch puts him deeper on the company's wrong side. Aboard are the women who will become his crew: an engineer who listens to hulls with her fingertips and a marine who has carved her squad's names into the wall. Neither owes him anything. Both of them come after him. The ship has orders nobody alive can fully read, a sealed hold, and a mission that ends with leaving Sol to find what's left of the navy. A men's sci-fi space opera harem: an alien warship rebuilt part by part, heists and ship fights, heroines who want him, no jealousy drama, and a stand-alone prequel to Warship Salvager. For adult readers.

Owes the company four more years for a crane collapse that wasn't his fault. Then an alien warship falls into his sector, and he decides it's his.

O

Orine Memarath

Gold filigree under bronze skin, no patience for human tape, and a ship she will not lose. She listens to hulls with two fingers. She starts listening to the welder too.

Stone-skinned, loud and always eating. She lost her squad in the crash, calls Jack 'recruit', and holds one door better than anyone alive.

the ship's mind

Keeps the stores, logs every repair, disapproves of nearly everything Jack does, and withdraws nothing.

G

Gunnar Lachance

shift foreman

Taught Jack to weld, and lies for him when it counts.

Lenny Murdoch

security director

Calm, reasonable, smiling, and the most dangerous man on the station. Nobody's in trouble yet.
