My Buddy Gave Me a Starship

My Buddy's Starship #1 / 3
by Myles Christensen
My Buddy Gave Me a Starship (My Buddy's Starship #1) by Myles Christensen
Unrated

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.

Under the pen name M. Taylor Christensen, he shifts gears into lighter territory with his Spies Never Quit series, blending sweet romance with spy games in stories that are as heartfelt as they are thrilling. Across genres, what ties his work together is a fondness for underdogs, clever plots, and an earnest belief that a little bravery can change everything.

Based in Utah and grounded by family life, Christensen’s storytelling draws from a wide spectrum of experiences—his background in academia, his knack for game invention, and his lifelong love of speculative fiction. Rather than follow trends, he builds new worlds from the ground up, guided more by curiosity than convention.

Whether he’s charting the icy terrain of Europa or unraveling secrets in suburban safe houses, Christensen invites readers into stories that are smart, sincere, and always a bit unexpected.

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.

But Mitch is no hero—at least, not yet. With only a snarky AI, an overworked autopilot, and a group of unlikely allies—including a tough alien soldier with a cause—Mitch must navigate a war between powerful factions. As the stakes rise, so do the risks. The more Mitch learns about his new life in the stars, the more he questions who he can trust and what he’s willing to sacrifice to make it back home.

With a delightful blend of humor, suspense, and unexpected camaraderie, My Buddy's Starship invites readers into a fast-paced, character-driven space adventure that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still packs a punch when it counts. Whether you're a fan of classic space operas or new to the genre, this series offers a refreshing, accessible take on intergalactic escapades, friendship, and the chaos of an unexpected journey.
