Book Three of the Star Runner Series – an adventure in the depths of space. The crew of Star Runner have faced space battles, pirates, interstellar junkyards, black holes and The Bubble. But if they and their Mamoan allies are to reach human space, they must cross The Barrens – a vast unmapped region where stars are few and far between. No one knows what’s out there, the dangers they’re about to face. Will the resources of an entire fleet be enough for them to survive?

“Sell the Gem and settle here on Kiantite Five.” It was the one sentence that Zheen never thought that her father would ever say. After nearly being destroyed by an ion storm and an encounter with an asteroid field, they’ve been grounded. Holas and Zheen are left with few options when they realise how long and how much money it will take to repair their beloved ship. Now the choice must be made. Before Holas and Zheen joined the Star Runner, before they became part of the crew that would shape the rest of their lives, they were faced with the most terrible prospect that any space-farer could ever face – never being able to travel the stars again. This is the story of the choices that they had to make.

Aliens don’t exist. Travelling around the galaxy using wormholes only happens in stories. They're facts. In all the years that humans have travelled in space, they've never happened. But today's facts are about to become yesterday's stories for brothers Alexander, Pete and Nick Daniels when their spaceship is pulled into a black hole and lost. Now the question is, can they ever get back home?

The space adventure that began in Star Runner for three brothers, continues here in Little Red Men. ------------------------ Alex, Pete and Nick Daniels have dealt with being sucked through a wormhole, meeting their first aliens and getting an abandoned spaceship working again. They’ve made friends and enemies alike. But now their real adventure begins. Haunted space stations, dangerous space phenomena and more aliens than they could ever imagine are only some of the obstacles that threaten their journey home.

This is the story of that time in her life. The Phantom of Krashnoa Station A Star Runner Story Danal Moccazhon has the perfect life - living in space with her parents, getting to travel from planet to planet.

Worse still is the ship's fate - to become a part of a vast spaceship graveyard. Now Danal needs to find a way to escape. Before she’s discovered.

Before Tran joined the Star Runner, before he became part of the crew destined to shape his life, he was on his own, flying through space the only way he knew how - fast and dangerously. Flight of the Myserink A Star Runner Story The trouble with being a cat-like Ok’neie isn’t the tail or the sharp hearing – it’s the curiosity. And for Tran Zheevock, his curiosity is about to get him into more trouble than he can possibly handle. After being blackmailed to transport some containers for a band of space-faring pirates, his curiosity quickly overrules his common sense. Opening them is just the start of Tran’s real troubles.

“We are here today to remember the lives of three boys.” With those heart-wrenching words, Alana Perry knew that her best friends, Alexander Daniels, along with his two brothers were gone, lost inside a black hole. But when scraps of information begin coming to light, she begins to question everything until she’s left with only one possible hope – what if everyone’s wrong? This is Alana’s story of what life was like for those the Daniel’s boys left behind after they joined the crew of the Star Runner.

When Star Runner, along with her Mamoan allies, stopped to trade for supplies with the people of Jellican III, they never expected to end up helping in a planet-wide evacuation. Worse still was the sun exploding much earlier than anticipated, resulting in the combined Mamoan and Jellican space fleets being pulled inside a newly formed black hole. Now the crew of Star Runner has to race against time, not only to find out what happened to all of their new friends, but also to find a way to escape the Bubble once more.

A routine trade negotiation goes horribly wrong for the crew of the Star Runner. After a desperate chase, they find themselves in a strange blue sphere with no power, no gravity and no prospects of escape. Will it take abandoning their beloved ship in order to win them their lives? Before she gathered her motley crew, Star Runner had another crew. A crew that loved her just as much as Holas, Zheen, Pete and Ace do. This is their story.
