The Lost Starship
Ten thousand years ago, a single alien super-ship survived a desperate battle. The vessel's dying crew set the AI on automatic to defend the smashed rubble of their planet. Legend has it the faithful ship continues to patrol the empty battlefield, obeying its last order throughout the lonely centuries.
In the here and now, Earth needs a miracle. Out of the Beyond invade the New Men, stronger, faster and smarter than the old. Their superior warships and advanced technology destroy every fleet sent to stop them. Their spies have infiltrated the government and traitors plague Earth’s military.
Captain Maddox of Star Watch Intelligence wonders if the ancient legend could be true. Would such an old starship be able to face the technology of the New Men?
On the run from killers, Maddox searches for a group of talented misfits. He seeks Keith Maker, a drunken ex-strikefighter ace, Doctor Dana Rich the clone thief stuck on a prison planet and Lieutenant Valerie Noonan, the only person to have faced the New Men in battle and survived to tell about it.
Maddox has to find a place hidden in the Beyond and bring back a ship no one can enter. If he fails, the New Men will replace the old. If he succeeds, humanity might just have a fighting chance

Read full series description
The series begins with the discovery of a derelict starship, abandoned for centuries and cloaked in secrets. As a group of explorers stumbles upon this ghostly vessel, they awaken forces far beyond their control. From ancient alien artifacts to dark conspiracies, every twist and turn propels them deeper into a galaxy filled with danger, intrigue, and unfathomable power.
What sets Lost Starship apart is its rich world-building, blending high-stakes space opera with complex character dynamics and ethical quandaries. Heppner’s universe is one of shadows and hidden truths, where alliances are fragile, and survival is never guaranteed. The characters—flawed yet determined—must navigate treacherous political landscapes, face personal demons, and reckon with a past that refuses to stay buried.
At its heart, this series is about discovery—of new worlds, forgotten histories, and the unknown within ourselves. Each page pulls readers further into a sprawling, multi-layered narrative that explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the price of power. Whether it’s the allure of forbidden technology or the dangers of trusting the wrong allies, the Lost Starship Series constantly challenges its characters, and its readers, to question what it means to be human in a galaxy filled with both wonder and peril.
With breathtaking action, intricate plotlines, and a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the final page, this series is a deep dive into the dark heart of space exploration. If you’re searching for a story that blends cosmic adventure with profound character journeys, Lost Starship is the voyage you’ve been waiting for.
