Free Trader Series (9 book series)
Kindle Edition
by Craig Martelle (Author)
From Book 1: A Cat and his human minions fight to bring peace to humanity.

The reviewers had these words: "Engaging characters...fun and interesting...enjoyable and light reading...you won't want to put it down!"

Compared to Andre Norton, the Free Trader series takes you to a colonized world across the galaxy where humans and their sentient creations struggle together to build a better world. Not everyone believes. Some think that being stronger means they can take what they want.

People suffer, until the Free Trader arrives. He only wants to trade, but the takers have other ideas. To get the world he envisions, he has to shape it himself.

Join the Free Trader as he journeys across the world of Vii to build a new and better life for all. With the Hillcat G-War by his side, how will he save the people from themselves?

The Free Trader of Planet Vii (Free Trader Series Book 2)
by Craig Martelle (Author)
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 332 4.2 on Goodreads 357 ratings
A Cat and his human minions fight to bring peace to humanity. For readers from 13 to 65, find compelling characters engaged in an adventure of search, conflict, and discovery.

He is a Free Trader from the north, with a vision of a world free from war. Braden and his companions have to decide what to do with the Old Tech from the ancient’s outpost. Can they bring it back to the world without every fortune hunter coming after them? Maybe they should expand the trade routes naturally, letting humanity reestablish itself slowly, without the help of Old Tech.

Braden's influence expands into the volatile south creating more conflict, more opportunities, and more strife.

Mutants, fearing the growing human presence, come after Braden and the others, hoping that they, and not the humans will dominate Planet Vii.

Martelle builds a world where humans and intelligent animals interact in an ongoing fight against the enemies of civilization. Allow your imagination to run free through this book and you’ll see humanity at its best.

Can the remaining ancients on Cygnus VI be saved?

Join the fun as a Cat and his human minions fight for peace. For readers from 13 to 65, find compelling characters engaged in an adventure of search, conflict, and discovery.

The fragile trade route is expanding, until the attacks come. Trade grinds to a halt. People cower in fear, before they run for their lives. The first Lizard Men were called the Overlords, and they have declared war on humanity.

Braden, Micah, and the Hillcat are the only ones with the ability to act, so they take the responsibility. They gather the companions for a journey into the rainforest to confront the Overlords, but the ancient Lizard Men are deep within the Amazon, protected by a seemingly endless number of dark minions.

Free the North! (Free Trader Series Book 5)
by Craig Martelle (Author)
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 174 4.5 on Goodreads 179 ratings
A Cat and his human minions fight to bring peace to humanity. For readers from 13 to 65, find compelling characters engaged in an adventure of search, conflict, and discovery.

Peace in the south. People settling in. Intelligent creatures are moving to Vii from the RV Traveler. Soon, meat will be in short supply. Hungry people will fight for what they need.

Braden knows that livestock abounds in the north. It’s time to go get some. But free trade in the north has been declared illegal by a new governor.

Free Trader Braden cannot tolerate anyone interfering with trade. The Cat, his human minions, and the rest of the companions undertake a new journey where livestock, Hillcats, and the governor’s forces keep everyone jumping from one fire into another.

“After the 1st few pages I was hooked with the story. The characters flowed and the story line kept me enthralled. As the book grew so did the new companions. This is a rare book and author who can give a good story telling and keep you wanting more. I highly recommend this book to anyone… Craig Martelle, writes another outstanding book that leaves you wanting more.” Amazon five-star reviewer

Free Trader on the High Seas (Free Trader Series Book 6)
by Craig Martelle (Author)
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 158 4.4 on Goodreads 174 ratings
A Cat and his human minions fight to bring peace to humanity. For readers from 13 to 65, find compelling characters engaged in an adventure of search, conflict, and discovery.

An island where experiments on people yield horrific results. An undersea city populated by humans dragged from the beach by unrelenting Bots.

The Western Ocean, an untapped source of food and power. The freedom of the open seas. When the AI finds an open ocean exploration laboratory, the Free Trader and his companions head to sea in search of the abducted residents of White Beach.

The ocean welcomes them into its embrace as nature tries to reclaim its own, but that’s not the worst challenge that the companions face. What creatures lurk beyond the ocean’s waves, patiently waiting for new blood?

“Immensely Enjoyable! Fantastic story set in the far future on a distant previously colonised planet that has forgotten its past because of one of humanities favourite past-times, war. Being a big fan of sci-fi and post apocalyptic adventures this author has captured everything I love about these two genres and melded them in a wondrous land full of genetically engineered creatures and old technology forgotten by the majority of the humans on the planet. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a good sci-fi adventure.” Evan, Amazon Five-Star review

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 144 4.3 on Goodreads 109 ratings

The Planet Cygnus VII will not be the same after this epic journey of the sentient races, a test of discovery and friendship. Will friends support each other, even if they don’t understand why?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Craig is a million-selling author of science fiction (post-apocalyptic, military sci-fi, and space opera), thrillers, and non-fiction.

Craig retired from the Marine Corps after a long career in the military intelligence community, having worked with most of the U.S. Government's three-letter agencies. After a short stint with physical security, Craig went to law school, graduated summa cum laude, and went into business consulting. From intelligence, to the inner workings of company board rooms, to on-the-ground leadership, Craig has seen it firsthand.

His books are an extension of his experience, putting the trials and tribulations of a fast-paced world into your hands. Whether in Science Fiction, Thrillers, Fantasy, or even his Non-Fiction, you'll find consistent themes of justice and doing right by those who are counting on their leaders. Leadership is a service, not a crown to lord over others.

No matter where Craig went, he always had a book with him. Thanks to 21st Century technology, He now has thousands of books at his fingertips and with him wherever he goes. How many books would he have read on deployments had he not had to carry a physical book?

No one is encumbered like that now. Craig loves the works of Robert Heinlein, Anne McCaffrey, Andre Norton, JRR Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, and so many more. He has been compared to Andre Norton and that is humbling - she was an incredible author with a huge list of novels to her credit. With every new book, Craig aspires to live up to those that you, the readers, have compared him to.

Through a bizarre series of events, Craig ended up in Fairbanks, Alaska. He never expected to retire to a place where golf courses are only open for four months out of the year. But that's the way it is. It is off the beaten path. He and his wife get to watch the northern lights from their driveway. Their dog has lots of room to run, just until temperatures reach fifty below zero. They have from three and a half hours of daylight in the winter to twenty-four hours in the summer.

It’s all part of the give and take of life. If they didn’t have those extremes, then everyone would live in the sub-arctic.
