Eric Weston is the main character of Evan Currie’s Odyssey One series. A career military officer, Weston commands the NAC Odyssey on its maiden voyage beyond the solar system. What begins as an exploration mission turns into a first contact scenario when the crew encounters the Priminae, an alien civilization losing a war against the Drasin. Weston’s decision to fight alongside the Priminae draws Earth into a galactic conflict and defines the rest of the series.
Over eight books, Weston rises from Captain to Commodore while leading increasingly high-stakes operations. He is a tactical thinker who relies on both military training and improvisation when outgunned by alien technology. The series tracks not just the war itself but Weston’s growth as a commander forced to make decisions with consequences far beyond what any Earth officer was trained to handle.
