Tin Can Combat
When Sergeant Henry Morgan died and awoke a century later as the 'governing AI' for a starship...
...he didn't expect
this.
A darkness is spreading across the stars - and not just any darkness. This is a hyper-advanced, cancerous darkness named Corthaur, who was originally thought to be a pretty okay guy.
He is not an okay guy.
As the governing mind of humanity's first interstellar military starship, Henry just wants to help.
But so much stands in his way.
There's his AI-hating captain, for starters, who has severely limited the functions Henry can access.
There's Corthaur, obviously, threatening to annihilate all life because he's just that bitter.
And then there's the fact that a single star system stands in the way of Earth and total destruction.
A system that's about to fall under brutal attack.
The same system, as it happens, that Henry and his crew are about to show up in.

Scott Bartlett
In the vast expanse of military science fiction, where interstellar wars rage and the stakes are always galactic, Scott Bartlett has carved out a space of his own—bold, unflinching, and sometimes surprisingly human. His work doesn’t just chronicle futuristic battles or alien invasions; it explores the decisions that shape soldiers, leaders, and civilizations under fire.
Long before commanding fleets on the page, Bartlett was a writer with a sharp wit and an eye for the absurd. He first made waves in the literary world with satirical fiction, winning the H.R. (Bill) Percy Prize for his irreverent medieval comedy Royal Flush, and later the Percy Janes First Novel Award for Taking Stock, a grounded, introspective look at depression through the eyes of a struggling writer. But it wasn’t long before the call of the stars—and the thrill of crafting large-scale conflicts with deeply personal consequences—pulled him toward science fiction.
