Olympus: Book 1 of the Ancient Astronaut Chronicles Paperback

Captain Ayden Zeus commands the prison ship Olympus. His only mission is to roam the deep recesses of space, never visiting the same place twice. He and his crew have sworn an oath to guard what's stowed away with the palladium-laced titanium hull at all costs: two thousand of the galaxy's most violent offenders, each carefully catalogued and preserved in state-of-the-art stasis chambers, serving out multiple life sentences.Mercenaries attempted a prison break, setting the Olympus adrift. The crew's only chance for survival is a small blue planet in the Terran system. But the planet's gravity field quickly pulls the powerless ship in, and it ultimately destroys the ship upon entry, scattering both crew and cargo across the planet's surface.Zeus and his pantheon, marooned on a primitive planet, confront challenges that compel them to navigate the fine line between survival and keeping their oath. Cut off from the rest of the civilized galaxy, with their closest reinforcements light-years away, the crew of the once mighty ship must band together to recapture any surviving prisoners before they can carve a path of carnage across ancient Greece.
