"Mixes old-fashioned swashbuckling with laser cannons and politics, resulting in an exciting read with a dash of intrigue -- think Star Wars meets Treasure Island."
Booklist
"Good, old-fashioned, outer-space pirate fun ... a whirl of space battles, sleuthing, spycraft, domestic spats, and ventures into dangerous locales."
Kirkus Reviews
"This swashbuckling series debut is bursting with funny, fast-paced action and steampunk flair, making it a great pick for readers who like Philip Reeve's Larklight."

You can see it here as part of this interview with Jason at Eleven-ThirtyEight. Tom Lintern is back with another terrific cover. Don’t miss the interview, as it offers some hints about what’s to come in The Rise of Earth next June, a discussion of the Jupiter Pirates series in general, and some talk about some space-fantasy series called … Star Wars?
The Rise of Earth hits bookstores June 14, 2016, but look for a special Jupiter Pirates short story in December.
More to come soon!
The Jupiter Pirates: Hunt for the Hydra will be out everywhere Dec. 23, but you can get a sneak peek at the book right now on Scribd thanks to HarperCollins. Read the first five chapters, download the excerpt, share it, pass it around, etc. Very excited to be able to give everyone an early look!
We’ve taken the wraps off and the official site for The Jupiter Pirates is live.
So what’s this page for?
It’s the place to get news and announcements about the books, but also where you can get sneak peeks at upcoming Hashoone adventures and go “behind the scenes” as the books move from idea to draft to reality, and where I’ll share some thoughts on writing and reading, pirates and adventures and more. (Down below you’ll find some stuff that I brought over from my Tumblr.)
Buckle your harness and let’s go! Glad to have you aboard, matey!
Thrilled to announce I’ve found a home for The Jupiter Pirates, my middle grade series (and labor of love) about a family of space pirates. Very happy and excited to have a great partner in HarperCollins. Huge thanks to my agent Rob McQuilkin, my awesome editor-to-be Andrew Harwell, and of course to Emily and Joshua for believing in me. Gotta lie down now. Whew!
