Knocking at death’s door. Bargaining for a second chance. Seems like a heck of a way to find out about an alien invasion....

Vietnam vet Albert Jenkins is battling a bulging waistline and a passion for drink. So when a towering pile of scrap rocket parts falls and crushes the stubborn curmudgeon, he thinks it’s finally the end. But just as he’s about to take one final breath, a snarky alien parasite offers him a deal: His life in return for sharing his body.

With a little coaxing from his new pop-culture-loving inner resident, AJ’s broken carcass improves so much that even an old flame is impressed. But his bright outlook fizzles when he discovers he's at ground zero of a galactic conspiracy to strip Earth of precious resources humans don't even know exist.

Can the unlikely partners join forces and use AJ's rusty military skills to raise the alarm? Or, will the alien invaders put him down once and for all?

Junkyard Pirate is the first book in an imaginative space opera series. If you like grizzled soldiers, clever twists and turns, and intergalactic tactical pairings, then you’ll love Jamie McFarlane’s fast-paced alien adventure.

Buy Junkyard Pirate to boot the invaders back to where they came from today!

Junkyard Pirate Review

Reviewed in Australia on 29 December 2019

Verified Purchase

I found this book a lot of fun. The characters were believable and for once not teenagers but mature. Their interactions seemed normal for their age and the aliens while a familiar trope as symbiotes or parasites were original enough to be different, especially BB. I'm looking forward to a second book in the series just to see where the author will going in the storyline, that is how many more weird aliens the humans get to meet.

Great read

As usual this was a great tale. The aliens have character and things don't always go the way you would expect. I think quite a few people wish they could be rejuvenated even if it means aquiring a hitch hiker, although it didn't work out as well for the Doc. At least she got rejuvenated before having to eject her passenger. I am eagerly awaiting the next story as the adventure continues.

A great new adventure sci fi series. Great realistic characters set in the modern day faced with an impossible task. I found it very enjoyable and a refreshing change from from most common far fetched sci-fi

This was an enjoyable read with plenty of twists and turns hide the final outcome. Enjoyable interplay between characters, and interesting quirks on species. Thank you for an enjoyable read.

Wow, great read. Found it a little hard to believe. But with the continuing read, it has delivered on the tantalising thrills that would require an additional book! Fantastic read, can hardly wait for another.

An excellent read. A very novel storyline. A great Saturday afternoon drift from reality.

Imaginitive and funny, but loses its way a bit towards the end

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2020

Verified Purchase

The story gets off to a good start with some funny dialogue between the aliens and the humans. The rejuvenating symbiosis adds depth and it bowls along quite well until they *go on the mission* . At this point it becomes a bit of a car chase/goodies vs baddies vehicle and the holes in the plot start to pile up. Probably more a young adult fiction than mature SF, but I did at least finish it.

Quality writing abound in a new adventure...
As with all jams works, superbly written, vivid characters in a gritty fast paced tale thats thoroughly enjoyable from the first word to the last full stop... each book shows new maturity in writing as this author develops his craft and realises his true calling, raw natural talent that is blinding as it is humbling.. 11 out of 5 stars...
but dont take my word for it.. read on and be enlightened to phenomenal jamie mc and his worlds...
thank you sir.. moo'ch appreciated that you continue to share your tales and allow us all along to ride with you on your literary journey through the cosmos...

A gripping read- far and away better than expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2022

A sc-fi drama that gets better and better and it's barely left earth yet! I didn't know what to expect from this book but was hooked by the 2nd chapter. Relateable human cast that you are rooting for, likeable and loath-able aliens, technology thats advanced but within the realms of being believable and the coolest bulldog you could hope to meet...looking forwards to part 2 immensely.

The hairy one

Nice job!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2020

Verified Purchase

McFarlane seems to have successfully brought Hal Clement's Needle into the 21st century, with more than enough added twists, turns and subplots to make it his own. I read the whole thing in a single sitting and now I'm 2 hours late for lunch!
Here's hoping book 2 does a similarly good job at keeping me occupied for the duration!

FAERIE SCIENCE foils Interstellar invasion?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2022

Verified Purchase

Faction is woven skilfully into.the mundane to produce a rollicking good read. Well paced action with believable but overblown characterisation. A miniature ' Tour de force'. Next please!
