Derelict: The Complete Series
All three books of the bestselling Derelict series in one collection!
One captain’s death might turn out to be humanity’s best chance at survival.
As humanity expands into the stars, it discovers the universe is a hostile place. When Captain Slater of the USS Franklin is assigned to a deep-space reconnaissance mission, his ship is destroyed by an unknown alien race.
Much to his surprise, Slater isn’t killed—he’s transformed. He is now a “derelict,” a consciousness bound to his old vessel. Slater must quickly adapt to his new existence before raiders, alien armies, and mysterious forces seek to destroy him for a second and final time.

I always review each book separately when dealing with a boxed set...
Bk1 Repel Boarders
What an exciting pulse-pounding beginning to what has all the earmarks of a great trilogy. Initially I was a little hesitant on the set because it looked like a syfy-milt series, but wait Dean Henegar wrote it and it actually was a litRPG! So it turned into a no brainer and I snapped it up. Because Dean Henegar is golden! Since I've loved everything he's written... ❤ ♥ ❤ In this book Captain Slater looses his life by repelling boarders, but instead of dying outright he comes to as the core in the now Derelict that had once been the proud ship of the US naval fleet, the Franklin exploring new horizons.
So yeah grab the book better yet get the boxed set to save on mula, even better the audiobook is whispersynced!
Bk2 CounterAttack
Ohhhh! Wow! Soooooooo good! Yeah I know it's a Military Syfi but believe/you me it's so much better when it's a litRPG, 'cause there's Gnomes, Orks, Trolls, and Billage Rats! And Captain Slater has his hands full with the counsil ships all wanting to take him out! Luckily he's gotten a few human, and even an Elf as allies. Good thing too, because they're all fantastic and help him level up his core everytime there's a new ship to fight.
You don't wanna miss out on this CounterAttack! So yeah grab the book, better yet grab the boxed set and enjoy the heck outta it!
Bk3 Sarton Station
Wow! Dean Henegar cuts loose in this this no holds Barred in his grande fanale of Derelict. Captain Slater finds himself adrift within some wreckage that housed his core, and he's dying, starving loosing his mind one nano-bot at a time. Luckily some Dwarf salvagers find him, and his slow march towards finding himself begins. Luckily he finds talking to himself, his fragment, entertaining and helpful. Slater also found allies the Chixturax, an insectoid race that kinda sorta looks like a Praying Mantis, but not. And he makes a deal they supply the material and he makes the ships! He also has a deal with the administer too, but the deal falls through and the two ships fight their way off Sarton Station... They part ways as Slater makes his inexorable race back to earth.
Yeah, you'll need to put the snippets I've already given you and find out whether Slater can win the day... Ohhhh and maybe just maybe someday there might even be a spinoff. Hopefully Jack Voraces will narrate it too!

I really liked this sci-fi core progression trilogy the only problem was any time a truly intresting or enjoyable concept/idea came along there was a 50% chance it would be skipped i felt like i lost some great storylines to the aether.
