They called him Blackbeard.
Ex-CIA. Naval aviator. The man you sent when the mission couldn't officially exist — and the man nobody came looking for when it went wrong.
Now his wife is gone, the poker nights are over, and the bottle that took her still sits on the shelf where she left it. Blackbeard is done. Then a creature wearing a stranger's face walks onto his Georgia patio with an offer that isn't really an offer.
The aliens have been here a long time. They've been watching. And they've decided humanity has one narrow window to get off this rock and onto Mars before the chance closes for good. They've picked their man to make it happen.
All Blackbeard has to do is take the helm of SpaceX, survive the Washington power brokers quietly gutting the dream from the inside, win over the one billionaire stubborn enough to reach for the planets — and bet everything on a single Starship launch with the whole world watching.
He's flown impossible missions before. He's buried the people he loved. He's got the tradecraft, the instincts, and absolutely nothing left to lose.
One last flight. One shot at the stars.
Blackbeard's Last Flight is the first book in the Blackbeard series — a near-future technothriller that straps hard-science spaceflight to old-school spycraft and a grieving man's last grab at meaning. If you love the engineering realism of Andy Weir, the tech-paranoia momentum of Daniel Suarez, or a Clancy-style operator dropped into the new space race, strap in.
The countdown has started. Scroll up and grab your copy of Blackbeard's Last Flight today.

Born in Brooklyn's vibrant streets and shaped by sun-drenched summers in Mastic Beach, Long Island, I've always pursued bold adventures. After college, I was commissioned a Marine Corps officer, aced Naval Flight School, and served in California, Okinawa, Japan, and Korea-piloting missions from Navy ships, transforming dreams into thrilling realities.Following a distinguished decade in uniform, I pivoted to entrepreneurship, applying military precision to build successful ventures. Recently, on my patio, I wrote Echoes from Another World and Blackbeard's Last Flight, while smoking cigars and sipping on Scotch, polishing both meticulously before release.If these pages give you even a flicker of the wonder they gave me while writing them, if you heard a whisper that the next adventure is already out there, then I've accomplished my mission to entertain you.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In a near-future where humanity's survival hinges on interplanetary expansion, haunted ex-CIA operative Ed Teach-call sign Blackbeard-grapples with profound loss: his wife to cancer and his beloved boxers to old age. Recruited by enigmatic aliens to infiltrate SpaceX amid Elon Musk's bureaucratic battles in Washington, Teach ascends to CEO. Secretly constructing an orbital fuel depot and retrofitting Starship with concealed bridge controls-assisted by two Optimus robots-he races against a rival alien faction targeting him and Musk for elimination. As launch windows narrow, Teach commandeers an unscheduled flight, refuels in orbit, and charts a daring path to Mars, transforming SpaceX's vision into humanity's lifeline.Blackbeard's Last Flight blends the rigorous problem-solving of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary with the extraterrestrial intrigue of Christopher Paolini's To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and the battle-hardened grit of John Scalzi's Old Man's War. A haunted ex-CIA operative, now CEO of SpaceX, must outmaneuver alien infiltrators and Washington power brokers to secure humanity's future on Mars. This item is printed on demand.
