In a world... Where star-crossed lovers guarantee sales and novels lack all novelty... Comes a story so generic that it will appeal to everyone of every generation forever... The story of a ruggedly handsome man of indeterminate age, named Guy who meets an exquisitely beautiful recently-come-of-age woman, named Eve. It's love at first sight, but one of them has a secret... A secret so big that it will tear them apart forever... Or will it? The world may never know, because this is not that book. This book is clever and will appeal to a specific audience. People who like witty humor and realistic characters. People who like a large dose of laughter in their sci-fi. Wherein: Liam Gatley is—was a normal, just-trying-to-get-by-with-as-little-effort-as-possible university student. But he’s just woken up from a birthday bender in a recruiting office, and before he can even figure out what’s happened, he’s rushed aboard the (in)famous ISS Titan to hunt down interstellar pirates as a proud—and completely expendable—member of the Imperial Space Corps. Suddenly it’s hard to imagine life being any worse . . . It turns out Liam just needs a better imagination. On his first day, Liam is shot, stabbed, crushed, electrocuted, asphyxiated, and drowned. It gets even worse when the Titan runs afoul of a telepathic mutant who turns the ship’s own crew against her. Now Liam’s talent at not-quite-dying might save the day, but he’ll still have to lose his mind to survive. And if he can manage that, he’ll have to battle an overzealous military commander whose ambition threatens the entire Interstellar Human Empire. If he ever hopes to make it home again, Liam will have to risk everything to save the empire. On the bright side, he may just get the girl in the process.

Jax "Lucky" Larsen is a small-time con artist who's spent his life bluffing his way through bad decisions and unpaid bar tabs. But when a misunderstanding (and maybe a little fraud) lands him in the captain's seat of the Celestial Phoenix a long-lost, legendary spaceship suddenly, the entire galaxy thinks he's some kind of tactical genius. With a mismatched crew who actually believes in him (for now), an AI with major attitude, and bounty hunters, warlords, and cosmic bureaucrats hot on their trail, Jax has only one mission: keep up the act and stay alive. But there's just one problem-the Celestial Phoenix isn't just any ship... it's the key to an ancient secret that could change the fate of the universe. And the people looking for it? Yeah, they're not big on second chances. Armed with quick wit, terrible decision-making skills, and an impressive ability to avoid responsibilities, Jax must outsmart, outbluff, and (if all else fails) outrun every danger the galaxy throws at him. Because if there's one thing he's learned in life, it's this: when in doubt, fake it till you make it... or at least until someone else takes the blame.
