Starship Tigress

James Orson bought the Copperhead to fade into a whiskey-soaked retirement after a decade as a galactic operative, but a salvage run into the forbidden Acheron Nebula uncovers the frozen legacy of the Felis Shogunate—and the lethal, alluring warriors who wake up claiming him as their Lord. Suddenly, James is thrust onto the front lines of a losing war against the insectoid Krall, where he must juggle the cutthroat politics of the Conclave with the voracious appetites of feline wives who are as dangerous in the bedroom as they are in a dogfight.

James Orson thought fighting the insectoid Krall was the hardest job in the galaxy. He was wrong. Armed with a Sovereign Privateer Warrant that wipes his slate clean, James accepts a suicide mission: infiltrate the territory of the Cephalopod Hegemony–an ancient, aquatic apex predator that crushes dreadnoughts into scrap metal for sport–and steal a gravity-bending God-Drive. To pull off the ultimate heist, James must rebuild his stealth courier into the Tigress, a phantom warship packed with god-tier Felis technology.
