It took a long time, but R.C. Bray finished recording the second Able-Bodied soldier book, and you can start listening over an audible right now. Today, even!

This title originally released in January of 2025, and so to all my audiobook listeners… I’m sorry it took so long for you to hear the next part. At this rate, I’m hoping to see the rest of the series out and available sometime between next year and America’s 300th Birthday.

You can place bets over which will come first on Polymarket, I understand.

Thanks to everyone who hung in there wanting to know what happened to Titus Briggs and the Scaleys. This is an exciting book about an amputee soldier who is put back into service via a mech program…

Titus Briggs’s second chance has become a first-rate, alien-crushing, rebel-stomping success.

The MOCOM units are turning the tide of the war, and the Moonlight Rebellion is on the ropes. But if these treasonous humans, who worship alien invaders as gods, are to be finally defeated, it means cutting off the supply of weapons and equipment from their Thephari overlords... if Briggs and his team can find out how they are doing it.

All the autonomous bomb drones, rail guns, pulse rifles, or even MOCOMs in the galaxy can’t make a difference, while the Thephari’s advanced technology—and supply routes—remain a mystery.

So when an opportunity presents itself for Briggs to find a way to hurt the Scaleys and disrupt their control over the rebels, he must take it, even if it means putting himself alone, compromised, vulnerable, and constantly facing the prospect of sudden death.

Without MOCOMs. Without friends, support, or communication...

Titus Briggs will find a way to cripple the Thephari’s plans for a second invasion of Earth... or he’ll die trying.

The wait is over and the campaign has begun! Now is your chance to nab the Wayward Galaxy Maximum Action Collector’s Edition hardcover.

There is a 48-hour Early Bird special that knocks $10 off the price, so act quickly!

Go to Kickstarter

But when they emerge from cryosleep, the enemy is already waiting. The same ruthless force that brought Earth to its knees has followed them across the stars. There is no backup. No extraction. No way home.

The only way out is through.

Wayward Galaxy is military science fiction the way it was meant to hit: fast, hard, and without mercy. Defective AIs with more guts than their programming should allow. Soldiers who refuse to die. A brilliant scientist racing against overwhelming odds. And combat so gritty you can taste the dirt.

This is the series that doesn’t ask permission… it kicks the door down.

Now it’s getting the edition it deserves!

Follow Now

Variant Publications is bringing the Maximum Action Collector’s Edition to Kickstarter — and it was built to look and feel like the experience that inspired the series itself. The book is dressed like a classic VHS tape, because Wayward Galaxy was written to feel like an old-school action movie. The kind you watched with the volume cranked and the lights killed and still quote to your friends today.

But this isn’t just a book. It’s an experience. And it doesn’t flinch.

There’s more. Launching with the campaign is a brand-new short story, written exclusively for this Kickstarter and available only with book tiers. You asked for more Wayward Galaxy, now you’ll get it!

But the mission needs you before launch day.

Right now the pre-launch page has 122 followers. The minimum target is 200. Every follow drives the Kickstarter algorithm, pushes visibility, and puts this project in front of more readers when the campaign goes live. More followers means more backers. More backers means stretch goals. Stretch goals mean everyone walks away with more than they came for.

Following is free. It takes seconds and commits you to nothing except being the kind of person who shows up when it counts. Like Reach.

Even if you don’t like physical books (which is kind of weird), your follow can still help. It costs you nothing and it gives this project the momentum it needs to hit the ground running. Share it with someone who loves sci-fi. Share it with someone who needs to.

Follow the Wayward Galaxy: Maximum Action Collector’s Edition and lock in for launch alerts, early-bird access to limited collector tiers & more!

Do it for the R-Rangers, Citizen!
