Starship's Mage

Will magic save the galaxy... or tear it apart?

Damien Montgomery is as much a nobody as a Mage of the star-spanning Protectorate of Mars can be. Trained as a Jump Mage, one of the elite who teleport ships across interstellar space, he lacks the connections to find a ship that will take him.

Until pirates and politics strand Captain David Rice of the jump freighter Blue Jay in his home system. The two men's matching needs birth a choice and a partnership that will take them from high-end orbitals to prisons to alien graveyards in forgotten star systems.

And in the shadows of the Protectorate, Damien is faced with a simple question: who is he in the dark?

Starship's Mage is The Atlas Six meets Genesis: First Colony-combining Olivie Blake's magical conspiracies with Ken Lozito's vast interstellar conflict.

To mark its 10th anniversary, Starship's Mage Book 1 has been re-released as a newly revised edition. This first book, originally published as a collection of Episodes 1 to 5, kicks off the science fiction & fantasy series. Revised editions of the next four books of magic and Martian intrigue are coming soon from Faolan's Pen Publishing and Podium Entertainment.

"This series has everything! Action, character, heart, and mystery woven masterfully together in Stewart's fascinating universe where science and magic stand on equal footing. I love it!"

Jason M. Hough, author of The Darwin Elevator (Dire Earth Cycle #1)

"Damien isn't your usual hero, with bulletproof abs and [a] square chin. He is short and of slight build, but his ethics set him apart... even if he has to stand up to Mage-king of Mars himself."

Ilona Andrews, author of Magic Bites (World of Kate Daniels #1)

"What seems like an implausible mix of SF and fantasy at first somehow combines into a thoroughly engaging space opera read that manages to be fun while keeping the tension level high. I'm ready for the next."

Cat Rambo, author of You Sexy Thing (Disco Space Opera #1)

"A breath-taking vision of starships powered by magic and the toll it takes on those who must fly them."

Nathan Lowell, author of Quarter Share (Golden Age of the Solar Clipper #1)
