Part #6 of "Junkyard Pirate" series by Jamie McFarlane
A flying saucer's crash landing is just the beginning of a race against time to save innocent aliens from a devious plot.
Albert Jenkins and his friends have enjoyed several months of peace, which is why when a Rosengul spaceship crash lands into his new house, he's not exactly surprised.
From the wreckage, a pair of small, ordinarily reclusive Rosengul emerge and spin a tale of kidnapping and deceit. Of course, AJ, who is about as sensitive as a stampeding buffalo, asks the pertinent question. Why drop this problem in his lap? The simple answer is that AJ developed a galactic reputation for getting the job done, even when it requires skirting Galactic Empire law. Someone is kidnapping Rosengul aliens, and their government is either unable to chase down the problem or unwilling to try. It’s obvious that it’s time to take off the gloves and get their hands dirty.
But before AJ can even get a full description of the problem, a team of heavily armed, human commandos fast rope their way into the middle of Darnell’s backyard. Having brought barbeque sauce to a gunfight, AJ and his team are easily overcome, leaving Doctor Jayne seriously injured.
If AJ wasn’t invested before the commandos arrived, hurting his fiancé was a great way to drag him into the fight. The biggest question is will he have to fight Army Intelligence or will they finally join forces for the benefit of all.

Replacing their beloved ship is hopeless – or so they think until a crazy old man introduces them to an old British warship named Hotspur.
