A slick, kick-ass, space adventure that never lets up! —Paul Rind

As dark as the void of space, Velon ships loomed like monoliths carved from obsidian. Four-Star Station fell prey to their assault, leaving behind a trail of bodies and hostages. Now, their course is set for Earth, and time is running out…

In bygone days, Star Watch would’ve rushed to the rescue. But those once-mythic defenders of the galaxy? They’ve faded into whispers and old tales.

Mollie Reynolds wasn't just the leader of a band of resistors; she was a young Adept under the guidance of a Zin Master, her mind becoming attuned to the subtle vibrations of Algorithmic Prophecy—a metaphysical craft that wove fate with the threads of potential futures. But she hasn’t seen her father, the legendary Captain Jason Reynolds, or her sister, Boomer, in over a decade. Ricket, Dira, Gunny Orion… Those valiant figures from the Craing War have all vanished. And the technologically advanced Caldurians, once Earth’s staunchest ally? They’ve ghosted humanity, taking their cutting-edge warships with them.

Mollie stands at a precipice, facing three Herculean challenges. First: Recruit a starship captain who’s daring, relentless, and possessing balls of steel. Second: Commandeer the newly minted Caldurian warship, Crysteon. Third: In the midst of chaos, locate her missing father.

Enter Captain Matt Briggs. Does he come with baggage? Sure. More than a little attitude? Maybe. Does he want to help the beautiful, headstrong resistance leader—not so much. But time’s running out—Earth’s fate hangs in the balance. Can Matt and Mollie pull off the impossible? Fend off the swiftly approaching Velon threat? It’s a coin toss.

This new saga voyages through the realms of Space Opera, Space Fleet, Alien Invasion, Metaphysical Visionary, and Military Science Fiction.


Early Reviews:

WOW!!
I was lucky to receive an advance copy of this latest Mark Wayne McGinnis book, Scrapyard Ship... Uprising. Mark wrote the original Scrapyard Ship something like 10 years ago - and it was one of my favorite reads in a long time. So, I was thrilled that the story - or part of the story is continuing. Some of the characters and villains are new, while some are a blast from the past - a perfect blend of nostalgia and a fresh, new adventure. I won't spoil the story for you all, but let's just say this book - this space opera sci-fi adventure has it all - galactic empires, classic space battles, space exploration, cool alien technology, out-of-this-world characters, military science fiction, humor, and a touch of romance. This book has a wonderful metaphysical visionary bent to it, as well. Read this book. Trust me... you will LOVE it! - Carl Mead

Scrapyard Ship returns with a new twist... Scrapyard Ship—Uprising!
I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt obligated to write this one because it was SO GOOD. Mollie Reynold is all grown up and she's in the thick of it. Entertaining. Check. Thrilling. Check. Romance. Check. Hard Military scifi elements. Check. Fun Space opera. Check. SciFi Metaphysical Visionary. Check. Plus more. The creativity and the fun factor is through the roof. If you like BV Larson or Craig Alanson or others like these authors, no doubt you will like this one by Mark Wayne McGinnis. This guy knows how to spin a yarn.- MK
