Wreck Jumpers

Mack Baines is the first face you want to see in the last place you’d ever want to be.

Wreck Jumpers are the Legion’s elite special operations force trained for search and rescue deep behind enemy lines. When everything has already gone from bad to worse, they are the operators who jump in anyway. Part special forces, part pararescue, these highly skilled Legionnaires and their support teams specialize in high-risk recovery missions that no one else can—or will—attempt.

When a Special Orbital Assault Regiment training facility hidden inside an asteroid belt suddenly goes dark, Sergeant Malcolm “Mack” Baines and REC-Team Pelican are tasked with putting eyes on target. Their mission is simple on paper: recon the site and restore communications. What they discover is a chaotic nightmare: survivors fighting for their lives amid oceans of floating rock, an unknown enemy determined to turn the Wreck Jumpers into the next addition to the body count, and a situation spiraling far beyond a standard rescue op.

One wrong move in the cold vacuum of space could mean crushing death for the entire team and everyone counting on them. But that’s exactly why Mack became a Wreck Jumper. In the deadly shadows of the Galaxy’s Edge universe, these operators will push their limits, uncover dangerous secrets, and prove that even in the darkest corners of the galaxy, some teams refuse to quit.

Gritty, tactical, and packed with relentless action, Wreck Jumpers launches an explosive new series from the bestselling authors of Galaxy’s Edge. Perfect for fans of high-stakes military sci-fi who crave authentic special operations realism, unbreakable team bonds, and pulse-pounding rescues that test the limits of courage and ingenuity.

Jason Anspach is the award-winning, Associated Press best-selling author and co-creator of the Galaxy’s Edge military science fiction universe. With a growing catalog that includes the Wayward Galaxy, Forgotten Ruin, and now Wreck Jumpers series, Anspach has established himself as a leading voice in high-stakes, action-driven military SF that blends tactical realism, camaraderie, and relentless pacing.

Based in Puyallup, Washington, Anspach writes from the Pacific Northwest with his wife, their seven children, and a border collie named Charlotte. His stories draw on deep research and a passion for exploring what ordinary heroes do when thrust into extraordinary—and often impossible—circumstances. Whether leading Legionnaires through galactic conflicts or launching new special operations teams like the Wreck Jumpers, Anspach delivers gripping narratives that have earned a dedicated readership across multiple series.

Readers and booksellers alike turn to Anspach for military science fiction that feels authentic, cinematic, and impossible to put down. The Wreck Jumpers series continues his proven track record of expanding the Galaxy’s Edge universe with fresh characters, high-tempo missions, and the signature intensity that defines his work.

Nick Cole is a former soldier, working actor, and award-winning author best known as the co-creator of the bestselling Galaxy’s Edge military science fiction series alongside Jason Anspach. With a background that spans military service and Hollywood, Cole brings gritty realism, sharp dialogue, and a keen eye for speculative storytelling to every project.

Cole’s solo works—including the Dragon Award-winning CTRL ALT Revolt! and the Amazon-bestselling The Old Man and the Wasteland—have earned him a reputation for thought-provoking, high-concept science fiction and horror. In collaboration with Anspach, he has helped build one of the most successful independent military SF franchises, delivering pulse-pounding action, memorable characters, and expansive world-building that resonates with readers who crave authentic combat stories in futuristic settings.

Now expanding the Galaxy’s Edge universe with the Wreck Jumpers series, Cole continues to showcase his talent for crafting intense special operations missions and deep team dynamics that keep readers coming back for more.
