Owning a Spacebar: Owning a Spacebar, Book 1

When Carson Flint traded his Commonwealth military badge for the quiet life, he thought he'd left his battles behind. Two years of running a saloon called the Bulwark, a volatile hub for refugees, smugglers, and the occasional war-weary soldier, was the peace he'd been looking for. He's never had it easier, or been so bored. But when a fugitive Commonwealth operative arrives with dangerous secrets and a war criminal on his tail, Carson's sanctuary quickly becomes a target. Drawn back into a world of interstellar conspiracy and dangerous militias, Carson faces a decision that could alter the fate of not just the Bulwark, but perhaps the entire galaxy: risk everything to help old allies or turn his back and let the chaos close in. The Bulwark may have given Carson an escape from his past, but adventure and old debts are calling. If you enjoy reluctant heroes, unexpected twists, and high-stakes galactic intrigue, then you'll love Owning a Spacebar, a sci-fi adventure from John Walker.
