The Adventures of Wil Calder by John Wilker Book Summary

★★★★ "If you're looking for a lighthearted space saga, then this is definitely a book you're going to want to pick up." - Literary Titan -=- Wil Calder is looking for a crew. He isn’t being picky. He should be. With a crew of misfits from across the Galactic Commonwealth, Wil takes a job. Break into a space station. Straightforward enough. A space station that the galaxy’s criminals use to store their loot. An untested crew. A heist. What could go wrong? As often happens, Wil and new his crew get more than they bargained for. A lot more. Like galactic conspiracy, more. Now it’s up to a bunch of misfits and the only human to leave our solar system to save the Galactic Commonwealth from civil war. No pressure, right? -=- RECOMMENDED "This is an accessible and highly readable science fiction tale that relies on speculative technology and imagined scenarios but is never bogged down in heavy concepts or complex astrophysics."- US Review of books "This was pure Flash Gordon space opera stuff, and the author kept the story moving at a fast pace with characters the reader will love." - Pulp Den

Fun read. This was a fun little space opera. Great use of creating language unique to a new universe.

Space rouges. Fast paced, engrossing read.

Space rogues. Outstanding characters developed through a unique plot twist on any sci fy of recent years.

Space Rogues. Easy breezy space opera. Quick read. Easy to follow.

Ghost Rocks!. Will Calder, pilot testing a FTL Drive, is irretrievably stranded when it malfunctions. Waiting for death, he’s completely flabbergasted when he’s rescued an alien pirates. Thus begins Wil’s story, gaining his ship, finding a crew, and fighting a battle for freedom against the establishment! Go, Wil!

Space rogues. Fast paced zany action from start to finish, can’t wait to read the next adventure

Adventures of Wil Calder. I really enjoyed this book. I t is just the right balance of action, humor and character interaction. I didn’t want to put it down. Reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy type action !

Easy Read. It is enjoyable to read a book that I don’t have to keep flipping back every few pages to remember who a person is, or what a new acronym is! This was an enjoyable page turner. Thanks.

AN EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING STORY. This adventure held my attention ! The characters and their actions are believable and entertaining. The plot twists are well thought out and interesting. I have already purchased the second book and look forward to the read!

Space rogues book 1. It was fun reading as the characters developed and evolved. The ending was a little too abrupt, but it was a fun and funny trip.

Fun and Fast Paced. I enjoyed the story. It was fast paced and it kept the reader interested. The author simply told a story. His introduction of each character and their sudden melding into a crew added to the overall adventure. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Fun Space Fantasy. A fun read

Space rogues. Initially I questioned the writing, but as I got into the book it became a thoroughly exciting and fun story. It was hard to put down and the characters and story was engaging. Well worth the read.

Absolutely wonderful. Being an alien myself, I absolutely loved the story. Much better than all the others I found about humans going out and beyond! Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

SIFI-BUFF. I really enjoyed your Space Rogues first book. The character interaction in the book is great, just the right amount of humor and action. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Very good! Buying the next one now!. I like to find new authors by poking through the free sci-fi search. When this popped up it sounded interesting. I wish I knew a better way to find this series sooner! To me it’s a bit of Guardians of the Galaxy mixed with a little Star Wars with sprinklings of the best parts of other major sci-fi. Not saying that to take anything away from this author, it’s completely original and good!

Love good space operas. Especially those that consist of a complete story and doesn’t require three or more others to enjoy. As the sole human in a galaxy of “aliens”, as if he wasn’t the only real alien, he’s kidnapped, orphaned, outlawed and honored - all in one story. Now Gabe, he’s going to be a bot to keep an eye on as well. Keep’m coming John.

Great story. This one is worth a read.

Space opera. Excellent fun and very easy to read. Well worth the time. I have been a SyFy fan for over 55 years and this book proves that there is more well written stories to come.

Great romp in Space. Fun from start to finish - if not for the courage of the fearless crew the M. Falcon - Raptor - Revenge and our hero will be lost.

Great read!. Enjoyed immensely!

Loved it. The characters are all interesting individuals mixed with humor and abilities that made it exciting to go along for the ride. A really enjoyable read

Space Rogues. A good versus evil storyline with good winning. The good characters are not perfect, but decent beings. Characters developed along with the story. Disappointed that the book ends. A mixture of believable science fiction and pop culture. What happens when plans are made and then life occurs. I recommend this to anyone.

Space Rogues. Enjoyed it tremendously. Easy read and it leaves lots of avenues to travel down. “Wil” definitely have to read the next episodes.

Space rogues. Fun and fast paced journey, lots of action packed entertainment, comedy and quirks. Loved it! Looking forward to the next one.

Enjoyable read. Good flow, stumbled in only a couple of places. Great character building. Will continue with the series.

Great Space Opera. I throughly enjoyed this starter of the series and will be pursuing the other books in the series. Good set up of the universe this takes place in with enough explanation on how a human can be accepted amongst aliens, communicate and succeed in galaxy in turmoil. Wil is a reminiscent of other galactic anti-hero’s that appear in various space sagas I have read. The motley crew of aliens comes together as a like able group that you want to succeed. Good pace, fast and fun read!

Top Notch. Loved the growth of the story; The characters and how they were added; the action and the end. Definitely recommend the book!

Unreadable. If you are a 8 th grade ,lower third of the class and have a brain disorder,you might think this book is well written

Great story line.. Easy, fast paced read. Very enjoyable.

Great story, terrific characters, suspenseful plot. “Having decided that standing on the bridge offers very little value, Gabe has spent much of his time in engineering, figuring that this will be a better use of not just his time but capabilities. The days spent in FTL en route to the Harrith system have afforded Gabe time to get to know the crew, as well as the systems of the Ghost.”

Space Rogues. I stumbled on this book accidentally while at sea, and was completely enthralled by it. Reference to Science fiction pop culture, specifically Firefly, hooked me. Anyone that gets Firefly knows good sci-fi. The book was fast paced and exciting with hero characters that jump right into your heart. I can’t wait to read more.

Heroic Misfit Crew. That’s enough on the plot to let you know that I enjoyed this story. There were some leaps and some odd places where the story repeated verbatim which made me wonder if I’d already read that page but I hadn’t. It was enjoyable though and a good way to pass the afternoon.

Fun, fast read.. The characters are interesting and the plot moves a long fast.

Adventures of Will Calder. I really enjoyed this book

Ellicott 6. As others have said I found it to be a fun, fast paced easy read. Kept me up late.

Excellent. Enjoyed it immensely

Gotta read them all now!. Wow, just wow! Loved it! Definitely a wild and awesome adventure.

fast moving. hard to put down.. great book

Fast Paced. Fast paced, funny. A light reading space opera.

Wowser. I just recently started reading si fi again. This tale is an interesting look at the first earthling in space. From unable to return home to a privateer fighting oppression the story keeps you engrossed. Got to find book 2.

Excellent!. Enjoyed every moment of this fast paced adventure! I look forward to any sequels.

Good Adventure. A good read

Space Rogues. Very entertaining- fast paced - can’t wait to read more!

Excellent in all counts. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s the kind of pleasure I like for relaxation. Keep up the good story telling and the author will have a new fan.

Enjoyable space opera. Well written, lots of action. Well defined and self-consistent universe, which I have always considered essential for science fiction. Good characterization, and each character is unique, which is not easy. Not particularly believable but a believable space opera might be a contridiction in terms.

Space rogues by John wilker. A pleasure to read, I will definitely be reading the rest of the series, and hunting anything else the author has written, great humour, excellent style of writing that draws you in for more, would make a great tv series !!!!

Great Read.. A good sci fi is hard to find

Unexpectedly good. I stumbled across this one and was soon fully engaged. Humorous and a great storyline. Would also be appreciated by fans of Hal Spacejock. Definitely worth reading and I’m moving on to the rest of the series.

Slow start but a banging finish. I found the start of the novel a little slow and clunky. But once the necessary world building and background is established it becomes a rip snorting adventure!
