Stars Dark is an eight-book series by Joshua James, with all eight books published in 2021. The series begins with Marooned and continues through Last Run, Forsaken, Under Siege, Judgment, Lost Sky, Fury, and Revenge. The titles reflect the series’ tone: isolated, desperate, and survival-focused.
The series follows a crew cut off from support and forced to fight through increasingly dire situations. The remote, hostile setting and sense of abandonment that runs through the books give Stars Dark a distinct flavor within James’s catalog, leaning more toward survival tension than the broader military campaigns of Lucky’s Marines or Oblivion.
At eight books all released in the same year, the series was built for readers who want to read a complete arc without waiting for new releases.
