About this listen
Knocking at death’s door. Bargaining for a second chance. Seems like a heck of a way to find out about an alien invasion....
Vietnam vet Albert Jenkins is battling a bulging waistline and a passion for drink. So when a towering pile of scrap rocket parts falls and crushes the stubborn curmudgeon, he thinks it’s finally the end. But just as he’s about to take one final breath, a snarky alien parasite offers him a deal: His life in return for sharing his body.
With a little coaxing from his new pop-culture-loving inner resident, AJ’s broken carcass improves so much that even an old flame is impressed. But his bright outlook fizzles when he discovers he's at ground zero of a galactic conspiracy to strip Earth of precious resources humans don't even know exist.
Can the unlikely partners join forces and use AJ's rusty military skills to raise the alarm? Or, will the alien invaders put him down once and for all?
Junkyard Pirate is the first book in an imaginative space opera series. If you like grizzled soldiers, clever twists and turns, and intergalactic tactical pairings, then you’ll love Jamie McFarlane’s fast-paced alien adventure.
Buy Junkyard Pirate to boot the invaders back to where they came from today!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,444
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Great voice acting!
I enjoyed the actor. The story is good but in less skilled hands it would have sucked. I enjoyed it very much!

Good story and well told.
A good story that pulls you in, a kind of junk food for the brain. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

Mostly harmless? Not hardly!
This is definitely a young-adult novel, and it does not take itself seriously AT ALL!
But it's also escapist fiction for us geriatric born-again teenagers. There are definite shades of "This Island Earth," "Needle," and other SF novels and films from years ago, not to mention "Apocalypse Now!"
It was a lot of fun to read.

Super predictable
A Vietnam vet who owns a junkyard, buys some space junk, which has alien parasites attached to it. The rest of it is them trying to get information for the Galactic Council to show that another alien parasite species is stealing or is future.
Overall the story is very predictable.the characters are relatively flat gung ho John Wayne type characters. It keeps talking about what great heroes they were in Vietnam.I will not be reading the rest of the series.
