"A fast-paced military thrill ride." - Amazon Reviewer

Captain Keyes is loved by the public but hated by Command. He captains the UHS Providence, an aging supercarrier and the last human ship not dependent on dark tech - technology humanity has used to rule over the galaxy since barely defeating the Ixa in the First Galactic War.

Dominance has come at a cost. Over the decades, old allies have grown resentful, and when dark tech itself fails, Captain Keyes’s predictions start coming true: those old allies are now enemies.

But Keyes is not the only one proven right. As the galaxy plunges into war, the Ixan Prophecies are being fulfilled, one by one. Humanity’s oldest enemy is on the rise, with weaponry never seen before.

The fate of the galaxy now depends on Captain Keyes, his tired ship, and his oddball crew. It doesn’t pay to be right.

"Take a wild ride through this military science fiction series. “Supercarrier” has it all and will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end." - Amazon Reviewer

Scott Bartlett

In the vast expanse of military science fiction, where interstellar wars rage and the stakes are always galactic, Scott Bartlett has carved out a space of his own—bold, unflinching, and sometimes surprisingly human. His work doesn’t just chronicle futuristic battles or alien invasions; it explores the decisions that shape soldiers, leaders, and civilizations under fire.

Long before commanding fleets on the page, Bartlett was a writer with a sharp wit and an eye for the absurd. He first made waves in the literary world with satirical fiction, winning the H.R. (Bill) Percy Prize for his irreverent medieval comedy Royal Flush, and later the Percy Janes First Novel Award for Taking Stock, a grounded, introspective look at depression through the eyes of a struggling writer. But it wasn’t long before the call of the stars—and the thrill of crafting large-scale conflicts with deeply personal consequences—pulled him toward science fiction.

Based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Bartlett brings a uniquely grounded voice to the far reaches of space. His military sci-fi series like The Ixan Prophecies, Spacers, and I, Starship combine cinematic pacing with layered world-building and characters who feel worn-in and real, even when they’re piloting starships or dodging death in orbit. He writes with the intensity of someone who’s lived many lives—perhaps because he has, working jobs as varied as salmon hatchery technician, pita maker, ghostwriter, and youth care worker before going full-time as an author in 2014.

What makes his work resonate isn’t just the action—it’s the emotional gravity that pulls everything together. Themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and moral ambiguity thread through his books, often raising tough questions about power, survival, and what it means to lead when the universe is watching.

With a steadily growing fan base and a reputation for crafting unputdownable space operas, Bartlett continues to push boundaries in the genre, one hyperspace jump at a time. Whether you're in it for the thrill of tactical warfare or the quiet moments between chaos, his stories deliver something more than just sci-fi spectacle—they remind you why we fight, even light-years from home.
