My Life, After Berserker — Steven Lyle Jordan

Commander Carolyn Kestral is forced to resign her Ranger commission and restart her career as a lowly freighter captain. But her decision not to tell her new crew about the alien virus that forced her resignation comes back to bite her, creating a rift between her and her crew almost immediately. And there is a question of whether the virus is still capable of being activated, turning her into a lethal human weapon.



If the virus is merely dormant, will it be set off by a clandestine first-run and a dangerous deep-space encounter with the Spiders, the ones who created the virus? Will her crew stick around long enough to find out? Join Carolyn, ex-Ranger Mark O'Bannon, engineer Sarander Fi, his wife Tirri Riza, and ship's cook and farmer Angel Shakra, as they try to survive their first mission together!



The Kestral Voyages have captured the imagination of fans who loved the drama, excitement and fun of TV shows like Star Trek, Firefly and Babylon 5! Popular demand has inspired additional stories following the crew of the Mary, as they try to make a living, stay out of trouble, and keep their lives from getting too boring!



“Mr. Jordan has a good sense of action, and a great interest in the minutiae of running a space ship… It's a worthwhile read.”



“All in all a thoroughly enjoyable read. If you preferred the original Star Trek series over the later incarnations then you'll love this. 7/10.”
