My Buddy Gave Me a Starship
Mitch has a problem. His buddy has been hiding a starship from him.
Mitch’s mediocre life has just taken a turn for the worse, so his buddy tries to cheer him up by showing him a secret starship. Unfortunately, everything goes south when hostile aliens arrive. In an effort to save his buddy and the starship from the aliens, Mitch does the obvious thing: he accidentally warps hundreds of light-years away.
Marooned in a distant star cluster, Mitch is forced to deal with a snarky teenage AI, a rogue auto-pilot, and a beautiful alien soldier who’s ready to steal his ship at any moment—so she can fight an oppressive military faction, of course.
Will Mitch simply use the starship to return home? Or will his attractive, though slightly frustrating, new co-pilot convince him to help the struggling Resistance movement?
If you enjoy humorous “Found Spaceship” adventures, then you’ll love My Buddy Gave Me a Starship.
Myles Christensen
Before he ever launched readers into deep space or spun tales of undercover agents, Myles Christensen was busy tinkering—sometimes with gadgets, sometimes with ideas. A product development engineer by trade and a storyteller by instinct, he brings a maker’s precision and curiosity to every book he writes, whether it’s a middle-grade sci-fi adventure or a cozy thriller steeped in espionage.
Christensen’s stories defy easy categorization. His science fiction work, like Frozen Secrets, explores far-off moons and looming conspiracies through the eyes of young protagonists, offering a thoughtful balance of wonder and suspense that resonates with younger readers and nostalgic adults alike. Then there's My Buddy Gave Me a Starship, a quirky, character-driven romp that starts with an ordinary guy discovering an abandoned spaceship and unfolds into something far less predictable.
My Buddy's Starship
In My Buddy's Starship, the universe is vast, unpredictable, and, for Mitch, unexpectedly personal. When his best friend reveals a starship hidden away in their small town, Mitch’s life takes an unimaginable turn. What was meant to be a weekend getaway quickly turns into a desperate journey across the galaxy, leaving Mitch stranded in a star cluster far from home.
My Buddy's Starship consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
