GHOST SHIPS DON’T CALL FOR HELP.
AND CLONES DON’T CALL YOU CAPTAIN—UNLESS THEY REMEMBER YOU.
When the derelict warship Vigilance drifts out of a burn-scarred nebula, Captain Rask thinks it’s just another salvage job.
Then the only person awake on board—a perfect, female clone of him—calls him by name.
And that’s when the trouble starts.
Her cryo-pod wasn’t the only one warming up. The ship’s dormant soldiers are beginning to stir, an ancient Imperial protocol is broadcasting across the sector, and something buried in the Vigilance’s systems has decided Rask belongs to it.
Now the crew of The Meridian is trapped in a collapsing maze of frozen marines, corrupted orders, and a ship that refuses to stay dead.
And Rask must work with his unsettling double—Rho—to stop a resurrection that could spread across the galaxy.
Because if the Vigilance wakes up fully, the Empire won’t just return.
It’ll march.
Dead Men Launch No Ships is a darkly funny, fast-paced space-opera thriller about identity, loyalty, found family, and the sacrifices we make for people who never asked to share our face.
Genre: Science Fiction
