With Van’s decision comes long term effects, and an Earth that is no longer alone in the universe, but connected to the stars. It’s a group for readers that want to come together to post and hang out, hear about upcoming releases, get behind the scenes updates, and ask me and the other authors direct questions about whatever it is you want to know about.

Backyard Starship Series by J.N. Chaney - Goodreads

Yeah, that will change the series' dynamic but I think that it is strong enough to survive the change.And the crown is heavier than one Peacemaker might be able to carry--unless he has a little help from his friends.

Legacy of Stars (Backyard Starship Book 4) Kindle Edition

Read this book, if you haven't read the Backyard Starship series, start with Volume One and keep going.I was worried in my last review that quoting snippets from the book, which are not spoilers, might get me a black mark. That world is bigger, encompassing the entire Milky Way with new characters, new relationships, and new responsibilities for Van, his crew, their friends, and allies as a galactic conspiracy reemerges, and old enemies reappear. Again there is much action, intrigue, suspense, as well as an alien advertisement for cheese, an overzealous military man, and corrupt politicians making a play. That didn't happen, so following other readers' advice, I've gone overboard this time and brought in a few that resonated with me. I really enjoyed the previous 15 books as well as this latest book in this series and hope you do too.

Backyard Starship Book 16) Kindle Edition Heavy is the Crown (Backyard Starship Book 16) Kindle Edition

The characters include the aforementioned snarky AI’s, a gorgeous heiress who can kick ass with Kung Fu, shoot off the antenna off of a spaceship from 500,000 kilometers, and pilot a spaceship like Han Solo, humans (remember all those alien abductions? I imagine my targets to be people who do not get a clean plate with each trip at an all- you- can- eat buffet. For the first time in his career, Van must protect his home planet from people who look at humans as a resource—and Peacemakers as the key to untold wealth. This book adds to the rich tapestry of the series but now that tapestry is richer and more complex, however, the authors are able to keep the charm, excitement, action, and of course, the humor that makes the "Backyard Starship" so readable, enjoyable and above all, fun.Characters from previous books play a large part in it and overall, while I would characterize the book as intense, there are the usual humorous interludes and pop culture references.

Backyard Starship Book 9) Kindle Edition Fields of Fire (Backyard Starship Book 9) Kindle Edition

Heavy is the Crown" BACKYARD STARSHIP book 16 has to be one of the best science fiction books and series out this year. I just can't see how this series is ever going to end - not that I want it to - with so much going on. With this being the 16th book in this series, it just keeps getting better with each additional book. Of course I love all the books in the Backyard Starship Series but "Heavy is the Crown" might be the best.However, I would say just be careful whose sensibilities you touch upon: “Um, excuse me, Liverpool has hooligans. Anyway, I just finished book 16 of "Backyard Starship" and it is still interesting, with new, fresh ideas and is still fun to read.
