Pike’s Potential

Lieutenant Commander Pike Book 1

By John J Spearman

An action-packed military science fiction series from #1 Amazon Bestselling author John Spearman.

A surprise attack. An outmatched ship. A commander’s courage put to the ultimate test.


Lieutenant Commander Alexander Pike’s picket duty in the remote SB113 system is shattered when his frigate, the PAS Wehner, is ambushed by a ship from the hostile Hegemony of United Worlds.

The enemy frigate, the HUWS Tolland, gets the first shots in, crippling the Wehner and inflicting devastating casualties before Pike and his crew can even scramble into their emergency “slick” suits.

The attack re-ignites a simmering war between the Planetary Alliance and the Hegemony over the terraformed world of Castor.

Now, with his ship damaged and his crew reeling, Pike must outwit a cunning enemy commander in a deadly game of strategy and nerve.

If you enjoy classic space opera with tactical ship combat, compelling characters, and intricate world-building, you’ll be captivated by John J. Spearman’s Pike’s Potential.
