Taken to the Stars
Abducted by aliens. Frozen for decades.
Charlie Travers figures his life can’t get much worse. He lives over a pizza restaurant, he’s lost his girlfriend, and has no prospects for a career.
Then he’s abducted by an alien robot and taken across the galaxy. When he wakes up, he finds himself stranded thousands of light-years away and about to be killed by space pirates.
Charlie’s only hope of getting through this is learning to work with his fellow abductees: a green-skinned warrior woman, a feathered con man who is just as likely to steal their starship as he is to save them, and a cyborg insectoid pilot who could rip a man apart with ease… if he wasn’t a strict pacifist.
To make matters worse, they were abducted for a reason--one that aims to change the course of the Galaxy forever.

Taken to the Stars
Most people don’t expect to wake up on an alien ship, let alone be told they’re humanity’s best shot at surviving a galactic war. But Charlie Travers isn’t most people—he’s just a guy with no military training, no cosmic ambitions, and no idea why a sentient robot decided he was worth abducting.
That’s where the journey begins.
