Backyard Starship

Get ready to experience two more origin stories in the Backyard Starship universe.

Red Agent

Legendary Peacemaker Petyrn Groshenko wasn't always on the good side of the law.

As a young agent of the KGB, the murder of his father sets events in motion that begin with Petyr doing something beyond his wildest dreams. He leaves the earth. In a starship. And not of his own volition. Abducted by an alien con artist, Petyr Groshenko holds the key to a mystery worth millions—or billions—of bonds, thanks to an ancient secret that began in Russia, passed through Tunisia, and ends in the most unlikely place of all, thanks to a clever American soldier who kept a promise across the years and miles.

To find the treasure, Petyr is going to need luck, help, and the wits of an alien who is far more than she appears to be.

Join Petyr as he begins the journey of a lifetime in this origin story from the Backyard Starship universe. Even legends have to start somewhere, and for Petyr Groshenko, it begins here, in Red Agent.
