Marooned: A Space Opera in the Wrong Key!

by Tom Dell'Aringa

A man. A space captain. Highly intelligent, extremely skilled–top of his class. Adored by millions. Captain John… is not that man. But can that man have the courage to face what he is and be transformed? Leave behind selfishness and embrace service? Can he go from hopeless — to hero?

Marooned – A Space opera in the wrong key is the story of Captain John, a self-centered space pilot from Earth, and his sidekick Asimov, an automated garbage can turned into a genius robot.

About the author

Tom Dell'Aringa writes sci-fi that doesn't take itself too seriously — except when it does, and the robot is usually right either way.

He's the creator of The John and Alvis Sessions, a sci-fi series packed with sharp dialogue, flawed heroes, and busted-up galaxies. Tom's stories are fast reads — readers call them page-turners for a reason. Each chapter ends like the last episode of that Netflix show you swore you'd stop watching at midnight. Okay, just . . . one . . . more.

When he's not chasing a good bottle of whiskey or burning through the latest audiobook, he's walking around Chicago debating whether emotional damage counts as character growth.
