Orion - A Space Opera in the Classic Tradition
Interstellar desperation. Enemy starfighters poised to invade. And one space pirate who could singlehandedly save trillions...
Indy Jackson can’t catch a breath. After a daring operation saved an entire world of aliens from being fried by a heartless weapon, she’s uncovered a new threat that could tear apart their sector. But with a rival empire’s fleet moving in at speed, any misstep could cost the lives of billions.
Vowing to uncover a way to end the chaos, Indy tries to bring adversaries into line with a high-stakes mission into enemy territory. But as foes work to destabilize her efforts and negotiations turn to disaster, she’s terrified they’ll all be swallowed by a menace bigger than any single-minded species…
Can one determined woman stop warring factions tearing a hole in reality?
Orion is the gripping conclusion to the Blood Empire space opera series. If you like galaxy-sized conflict, mind-bending science breakthroughs, and feisty heroines reluctantly dragged into do-or-die quests, then you’ll love Robert Scanlon’s intergalactic roller coaster ride.

What Readers Say about Constellation, book one...
This series fills the Firefly-shaped hole in my heart!
A good old fashioned space opera reminiscent of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, with one significant difference. Our hero is a woman! Love it!
A kick ass space pirate in a kick ass story that had the feeling of Firefly without being like it.
Plots, counter plots and betrayals. If this book were more exciting, it's pages would burst into flame.
The next Firefly and more ... As a space pirate Indy Jackson reminds me of Mal in Firefly.
The heroine in this book was really enjoyable to read! She was snarky, clever, witty, unafraid, bold - all the things you would expect of a 'pirate'!
'24' meets 'Firefly' meets 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'
The reader will love the heroine immediately! She is snarky and likeable right from the start! She uses her wits to deal with whatever comes her way. I loved the storyline and the constant adrenaline rush!
I liked seeing a girl take on the bad guys instead of looking for a man to rescue her.
This is a great space adventure that takes the reader from one twist to another.
Could NOT put it down.
Twists and turns kept me wondering where this tale would take me ...
Plenty of adventure, suspense, drama and surprises.
It was very fast-paced, filled with quite a few twists ...
There are quite a few enjoyable plot twists. Plan on missing deadlines as you get absorbed into the novel!
... a non-stop rollercoaster ride the rest of the way. It was next to impossible to stop reading to see how the next crisis would be cleverly overcome.
Once transported into the story, it was like being on a modern day Enterprise (Roddenberry like) if they were a more likely crew of Millennium Falcon (Lucas like), or better yet Serenity & crew (Firefly & Joss Whedon like)!
This is one of the best books i have read in months. It is fast paced, and action filled with lots of surprises.
I've found I really like science fiction (space opera) novels with snarky heroes -- in this case, heroine -- who won't hesitate to fight, verbally, physically, or mentally, to win. This is a throwback to the golden age of space opera with all the modern techniques and sensibilities at the hands of a writer who knows how to entertain.
A fine swashbuckling space tale with an unlikely band of misfits doing the right thing in some unconventional ways.
