Synopsis Star Splinter by : J. Cressey
Star SplinterFractured Space Book OneLieutenant Callum Harper hadn't intended on punching his commanding officer quite so hard. But maybe it wasn't such a bad turn of events. Court-martialed and dumped on a reject raft bound for Earth, Cal feels optimistic about a life where getting blown up, shot, or even eaten is altogether less of a concern. And, more importantly, a life where the only person he's responsible for is himself.Unfortunately, fate doesn't favour the mundane. Crash-landing on a lethal planet, and with technology failing all around him, Cal must take his fellow passengers under his wing in order to survive and unravel the reasons behind their situation.But the cause is far worse than any of them could have imagined, for theirs is a small part of a much larger crisis. Colonized space is under attack. Humanity is on the verge of chaos. And those who enjoy such anarchy are already beginning to thrive.Yet Cal and his new companions will discover that mankind isn't the true threat, not by a long shot."This novel just blew me away. It was like a giant mash up of Star Trek , Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park."ladyaliteraturejunkieextraordinaireAbout the bookStar Splinter is the first book in the Fractured Space series, a fast-paced space opera that throws an unlikely group of characters together and spirals them to the very edges of colonized space. The protagonists find themselves having to unravel the mystery behind their ominous circumstances whilst being pitted against genetically engineered beasts, con men, pirates and, in true space opera style, aliens! It's a character driven tale that starts small and soon ramps up to an adventure of epic proportions. And this is only the beginning!Star Splinter is a humorous, action-packed adventure with dark undertones, but at it's heart it's a story about survival and the true worth of friendship.Author's noteAlthough Star Splinter was written with adults in mind, I believe it would also appeal to young adult science fiction fans. This is due to the writing style and the fact that two of the main protagonists are also young adults. However, please be warned that it does contain profanity!

Synopsis Shattered Moon by : J. G. Cressey
The saga of Cal Harper and the crew of the Star Splinter continues...Author's note - This version of Shattered Moon has the novella Callacean merged into it to make it an even longer, more epic adventure!After eight desperate months of searching, Cal Harper and his crew still haven't discovered Kaia's whereabouts. Taken by pirates during the rescue of Federation survivors, her fate remains uncertain. But so too is the fate of humanity itself... With the destruction of Earth, the Insidions have struck a devastating blow only to sink back into the shadows to let the poison spread. Thousands of colonies have been forced into self-sufficiency, and the loss of interstellar communications is making the situation infinitely worse. Riding on the building chaos, the pirates are proving increasingly organized. So much so that Cal fears a leader may have arisen--one powerful enough to unite the disparate clans. But Cal isn't about to give up his search, not by a long shot, and his crew are sticking with him every step of the way. But trouble is brewing in ways few could have predicted, and fortunately or not, Cal and his friends have a talent for finding the worst of it."Kinda like Star Wars, Firefly and Guardians of the Galaxy all mooshed together." One of the authors extremely eloquent friends

Synopsis Splinter Fleet by : Theodore R Treadwell
Hastily built at the onset of World War II to stop German U-boats from taking their toll on Allied shipping, the 110-foot wooden subchasers were the smallest commissioned warships in the U.S. Navy, yet they saw as much action as ships ten times their size. In every theater of war these “expendable” workhorses of the fleet escorted countless convoys of slow-moving ships through submarine-infested waters, conducted endless mind-numbing antisubmarine patrols, and were used in hundreds of amphibious operations. Some subchasers worked as gunboats to search for and destroy enemy barges. Others rescued downed airmen and retrieved drowning soldiers under heavy enemy fire. During the German occupation of Norway, three American-built subchasers and their Norwegian crews came to be known as “The Shetlands Bus” for their clandestine work as ferries—the only link between Norway and the free world. This book, written by the commander of one of the subchasers, defines their place in naval history and gives readers a taste of life on board the wooden warships. Ringing with authenticity, it describes the cramped quarters and unforgiving seas as well as the tenacious courage and close bonds formed by the men as they sought out the enemy and confronted nature. Long overshadowed by the larger, faster warships and more glamorous PT boats of World War II, subchasers have been mostly forgotten. This work restores the plucky little ships to their hard-earned status as significant members of the fleet.
