What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship?
Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wants to spend some time at his grandfather's mountain cabin so he can unwind, away from the drudgery of daily life and with a cold beer in his hands.
Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists... and that’s just the beginning.

What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens?
Can he become more than he had ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be while righting a few wrongs of the modern world.

He is sure of three things:
1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore... aside from his own.
2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him.
3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about will rue the day they were born.

You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get a hell of a lot more.

Derek Williams

Good readI have to say when I started reading this book I had no idea wouldn't be able to put it down until I finished it. Now I can't wait for the second one.

Peter Trist

Even better the second time aroundIf I had the skill to write fiction I think this is the book I would have been more than happy to be the author of.So many ideas made into such a cohesive and entertaing whole.

Good story Great start to the series. Looking forward to reading the rest when they hit Amazon. I'm a sucker for contemporary military scifi.

A great SF read!This was one fun book to read. It kept me awake until 3 AM! A perfect blend of action, occasional humor, and many thought-provoking SF elements. I particularly liked Max, he was a real hoot. For 350 pages long book, it seemed much shorter, which is always a good thing. A great SF read.

Robert Creamer

Excellent original so science fiction novel.The Spaceship in The Stone is one of the best new original novels I have ever read. I can't wait for the next chapter in this saga.

An enjoyable romp of an adventure story with likeable main characters. From the science fiction aspect, it does not add anything I'd hadn't come across before. Our hero discovers advanced alien technology and decides to take advantage of it to save mankind from corrupt modern society. Once again our hero is the disillusioned ex-special forces soldier who gave all and then was let down by his country's government. It is therefore another example of the politically libertarian sci-fi I'm finding f...

A fun time The book was quite enjoyable read. The main characters were a lot of fun, especially Max. The interaction between Michael and Max was a lot of fun. I liked the military ops taking down baddies. It was enjoyable those criminals taken down. The only I didn’t care was the high council part. I thought dealing with underhanded government tactics, both domestic and international was going to be hard enough for the mission. But now a secret cabal is secretly involved too. I liked where the s...

This was a lot of fun, nothing too serious, a bit like a super hero film.

Well thought out with great attention to detail. Good protagonist. Excellent plot and subplots.Best read by a new author(at least new to me) in the last year. Gritty and realistic within the parameters of the special circumstance.

A FUN PAGE TURNERThis is just the kind of escape experience so many of us look for in sci FI adventure. Fast moving. A understandable, noble plot. An heroic but humble leader refreshingly NOT burdened by crushing self doubts. Lots of action. Plenty of heroes and dead bad guys. Just enough romance without getting in the way of a good story. Interesting fanciful new technology ideas. Just about everything a book needs.

Cathy Bishop

great book, got me hooked I love this bookI can’t wait to read the next oneSo I will wait for it in March Thank you Mr Igor Nikolic

Fun readFast paced and does not get bogged down with to much descriptive boring unrelated to the story stuff. Waiting on the next book.

Mike Edsten

New to me authorI'm really looking forward to seeing how this series evolves. Looking forward to reading more from this author also. Check it out

Will Ferrick

Absolutely Great Read, HoweverI loved the book. Really. Initially I posted 5 stars. Changed after failing to locate the sequel in the Kindle store and concluding that a sequel has been published not through Amazon Kindle but only through a site (Patreon) that requires a monthly subscription. No objections whatsoever to the great work of Patreon. It is however totally unacceptable to lure customers/readers into such a sham and quite unbelievable that Amazon does not restrict such tricks.
