If You Like Craig Martelle Books, You’ll Love…

Craig Martelle Synopses: Battleship: Leviathan by Craig Martelle is the first book in the Battleship: Leviathan series.

In the shadow of the stars, war is inevitable.

Eons ago, the Progenitors, an ancient and powerful race, crafted a warship unlike any other—designed to defend their domain against emerging threats from the stars. But the ship’s victory was short-lived, and the Progenitors abandoned the galaxy, leaving behind relics of their failure as silent sentinels.

Millennia later, humanity has joined the galactic stage, colliding with established powers, chief among them the ruthless Blaze Collective. As conflict brews, humanity scrambles for an edge to tip the scales in their favor. Their hopes rest on uncovering Progenitor relics, but most are gutted and lifeless.

Until now.

Hidden near Earth, an intact Progenitor warship has been discovered—waiting, dormant, and alive. When Major Declan Payne and his team board the vessel, they realize it’s more than a relic. It’s a weapon, and it has been waiting for someone like Payne to awaken its full potential.

As humanity’s war with the Blaze Collective escalates, Payne must learn to wield the ship’s ancient power. But the ship has its own needs, and the cost of using it may be more than Payne—or humanity—can bear.

Endure by Craig Martelle is the first book in the End Times Alaska series. When the unthinkable happens, survival is just the beginning.

A nuclear bomb devastates Fairbanks, Alaska, throwing the state into chaos. Retired Marine Chuck Nagy and his family are among the lucky few to survive the initial blast. But the true test begins in the aftermath, as society crumbles, resources dwindle, and a new enemy rises from the shadows to threaten what’s left of their world.

Cut off from help and surrounded by the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, Chuck must lead his family through treacherous terrain and impossible odds. With danger lurking at every turn, both human and environmental, their fight for survival becomes a battle for humanity’s future.

The Free Trader of Warren Deep by Craig Martelle is the first book in the Free Trader series. In the aftermath of a civil war, the human-colonized world of Cygnus VII is slowly rebuilding, but its past is far from forgotten. Free Trader Braden and his mindlinked Hillcat, Jorl, navigate the treacherous trade routes of Warren Deep, seeking profit and peace amidst the chaos. But when tensions rise and the sands of the Great Desert promise untold riches, Braden assembles an unlikely team of engineered mutants and misfits for an expedition into the unknown.

Accompanied by a sharp-eyed Hawkoid, a steadfast Tortoid, and a fierce female warrior, Braden ventures south of the Great Desert in search of Old Tech—relics of the ancients that could hold the key to unimaginable wealth and power. As they uncover secrets of a bygone era, they must grapple with the weight of their discoveries. Some Old Tech still functions, its potential to reshape their world both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Faced with dangers from within and without, Braden and his companions must decide whether to use their newfound power to bring progress and collaboration to a distrustful land—or to leave it buried in the sands forever.
