The Alliance has toppled the tyrannical empire. It should be a time for celebration, but not for fighter pilot Captain Alisa Marchenko. After barely surviving a crash in the final battle for freedom, she's stranded on a dustball of a planet, billions of miles from her young daughter. She has no money or resources, and there are no transports heading to Perun, her former home and the last imperial stronghold.
But she has a plan.
Steal a dilapidated and malfunctioning freighter from a junkyard full of lawless savages. Slightly suicidal, but she believes she can do it. Her plan, however, does not account for the elite cyborg soldier squatting in the freighter, intending to use it for his own purposes. As an imperial soldier, he has no love for Alliance pilots. In fact, he's quite fond of killing them.
Alisa has more problems than she can count, but she can't let cyborgs, savages, or ancient malfunctioning ships stand in her way. If she does, she’ll never see her daughter again.
Fans of Firefly and Star Wars should enjoy this fun, fast-paced new series from USA Today best-selling author, Lindsay Buroker.
Star Nomad Fallen Empire Book 1 eBook Lindsay Buroker
As a fan of Lindsay Buroker's Emperor's Edge and Dragon's Blood series, I looked forward to reading a free copy of Star Nomad. Overall, I was completely satisfied with her new series and I look forward to the future installments.The story begins with Captain Alisa Marchenko and her mechanic/engineering friend Mica finding a ship to get off the desert planet they were stranded on after the war ended. Alisa and her friend fought on the side of the Alliance, so when they encounter an imperial cyborg guarding their chosen ship they must negotiate to achieve their common goal - to get off the planet and back to civilization.
In her newsletter, Buroker mentioned Firefly as an inspiration for this novel. This is reflected in the characterizations of Alisa, Mica, and the passengers they eventually take on. While the similarities are obvious, there are enough differences in the storyline and character details to make the book worth reading without feeling like you are reading a text version of Firefly.
Otherwise, the world touches on what happens when a "rebel" group succeeds in overthrowing a tyrannical government without having a new government plan in order. This book briefly touches on the major players such as the previous Emperor, the Starseers, the Alliance, and the Mafia. The book concludes the first stage of the characters' journey to Perun while setting the stage for the remaining journey and possible future conflict between characters. Finally, the question the reader is left with is "Which is better: a restrictive government that governs with little citizen input or a galaxy ruled by a "might is right" mentality?"

Star Nomad Fallen Empire Book 1 eBook Lindsay Buroker Reviews
The description doesn't do it justice. I find it hard to summarize without giving out spoilers so my review won't do it justice either.
The Captain and her engineer plan to take her mother's old ship from the junkyard and a cyborg from the other side of the war is there. After striking a deal and ready to leave the planet our Captain looks for passengers and hopes to have enough money to then pay for food and hire security. The cyborg has a required destination first. Her other passenger is a science teacher who likes mushrooms and brings chickens. The final passenger appears to be a monk? While readying to lift ship, the mafia comes knocking on her door. The security guard she hired had a different career in mind and borrowed his start up funds.
Captain Alisa hasn't thought past just wanting to get back to her daughter. Getting there is the hard part in a post war galaxy when war leaves little left as to government and the policing of the galaxy and space lanes. Pirates abound and they are not your ordinary pirates. Mafia, mysteries, pirates, and a ship where half the crew and passengers fought for the other side.
What does it mean to be human? Is a cyborg human? It is an interesting crew and an interesting story. I will be reading the rest of the series. Personally, I liked Alisa's sense of humor.
Eh. I didn't hate it, didn't love it. I got this after seeing it recommended by a few people on a thread about indie authors, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. I was looking for a good sci fi read, and this was filled with uninteresting and awkward dialogue, characters I didn't care about, and a storyline that seemed to stop in the middle of the arc, before it really got underway.
I was reading it on my and realized I was about 90% through and nothing really exciting had happened yet. It was almost like the story started, had a decent premise, and then just stayed there, even though the words kept going, page after page. And then at 92%, the book was done and I was looking at author Q&A at the end. What the heck? Maybe the author ran out of ways to tell us, yet again, that someone was leering at the MC's breasts.
As the author herself admits, this is not SCI-fi; there is little science and what there is, is full of inaccuracies, inconsistencies and illogicalities. There is also very little plot (basically Star Wars). Yet despite all these negatives, it's a fun read. It moves along at a good pace, the characters are interesting, if a little cliched, and there is enough of a story to keep me going - albeit with many a sigh at the lack of science.
Clearly meant to be one of a series, there are no resolutions to the main plot lines by the end and while I enjoyed the read while it lasted, it didn't leave me with enough curiosity to move onto the next book.
