The Messenger Box Set: Books 1-6
Dash never asked to be a mech pilot, but fate has other plans.
On the run and out of chances, he guides his ship and crew into the heart of a relic older than the galaxy itself—and find himself on the edge of an eternal war he never knew existed.
The relic is a mech, lost to history and forgotten by all who remain. Built by an ancient race to be the ultimate weapon, the machine is capable of unspeakable destruction, and its discovery could unhinge the balance of power throughout known space.
Worse still, the A.I. inside the machine speaks of an ancient evil that will soon arrive--a race whose power far exceeds anything humanity has ever witnessed.
Only the Messenger can stand against them, the A.I. tells its new pilot. Only you can do what must be done.

Great series
Very good read. Could not put it down. Character and story line develops very well. Characters are very engaging and the story leaves you wanting the next book in your hands.

I would buy this in HC
It was so easy to fall into the adventures of Dash, Leira, Amy, Conover, and Viktor. I am eager to move on to book 7 . I know I won't be disappointed. Saving the universe is hard work.Specially when most of it doesn't realize that three is a war going on. A war that could make us all extinct.

6 books for a great price
This series kicks off with a bang and just keeps it in overdrive. Dash isn’t your typical hero but rises to the occasion by taking control of an ancient mech to save the universe.

Good vs evil in a system far away
After the Renegade Star series and the associated prequels I jumped at the opportunity to meet new characters and hear their stories, I was not disappointed .

Of you love space opera, read this!
Thoroughly enjoyed the story. Can't wait for the next. Pure old fashioned space opera. Good dash of humour. Well recommended.

Fantastic Read
This series has cost me more sleep than in a long time. Great story. Well moulded characters and a very likable, if slightly reluctant and flawed hero. Oh, and heroines too. Lots of well thought out action that takes you along like a rollercoaster as well as good, well explained side story lines. This writing partnership is a real cracker and I am delighted that it produces loads of great material. Highly recommended. If you like space sci-fi, you will love this series.

Superb Hero’s Journey
I thoroughly enjoyed this. This is the classic tale of someone thrust into greatness and their progression across an epic struggle set in the space opera genre. I was never disappointed!

An outstanding adventure well told
Captivating from the first page of book 1 to the last page of book 6.
I've spent every spare minute of the last eight days or so immersed in this box set that is so worth the price of entry.

Great storyline
This book started a little slow but once it gets started it is constant action. The only bad thing is it ends leaving you hanging

Military space opera
Like most of Chaney's novels, lots of action, implausible escapes and the good guys gradually overcoming near-impossible odds. Great fun to read.
