"After Moses" by Michael F. Kane - "After Moses" Series Book 1 of 6
$16.50
If you're anything like me, "After Moses" is the sci-fi series you've been waiting for. Part "Firefly", part "The Expanse", part "Star Wars", but simultaneously none of them. It's adventure and conflict and tough choices in a universe where not everyone is an amoral degenerate. This is why I love it: the author has finally created a space adventure with a moral protagonist that I could let my child read without worrying about "the message" getting shoved down their throat. Make no mistake, this is not a YA novel. It is written for adults who, while reading otherwise fantastic sci-fi books, find themselves constantly thinking "why couldn't that character have just done the right thing because it was the right thing?" Can't recommend this enough!
NOTE: I specifically get these direct from Mr. Kane, so know that you're supporting only him and not Scamazon.

FROM THE AUTHOR, MICHAEL F. KANE:
"His gruff exterior hides a man who wants to do the right thing. But running from trouble won’t work when the planets need a hero.
Arizona Colony, Mars. Matthew Cole doesn’t want anyone else aboard his ship. But the notorious solo freelancer is persuaded against his better judgment to guard a dangerous prison transport along with an exo-suit-clad former rival. Outmaneuvered when the crook’s cronies spring the inmate with heavy firepower, the poncho-wearing captain vows to scour the solar system to restore his rep and claim his paycheck
Reluctantly banding together with his seven-foot partner in her powered armor, Matthew has his hands full leading an unwanted ragtag crew. But the headache of dealing with people again is nothing next to the prickling between his shoulders as he continues to run afoul of greedy politicians and criminal syndicates.
Is this space cowboy’s moral compass sending him to a fatal crash landing?"
