Desolate Station, the fourth and final novel in the Peregrine Outpost series. Strange creatures, complex problems to solve, new and fun characters, humor, and a bit of romance... the ingredients you've come to expect from my books. Desolate Station is a labyrinthine adventure of willpower and ingenuity. Are you ready to save humanity?
Ember, Seven, and their team have accomplished the impossible—finding a new world for Earth’s last survivors. But their mission is far from over. Claiming this paradise means waging war against their own technology.

With twelve thousand humans in stasis and Earth growing more dangerous by the day, the team faces an onslaught of challenges. Mysterious worker bots are attacking their ship. A powerful rogue AI refuses to relinquish control of the new world, questioning whether humans are worthy. Then there’s the stark reality that Earth’s last survivors possess none of the skills needed to thrive in this untamed wilderness.

With time running out, Ember, Seven, and their companions must prepare humanity for a future they never expected.

In this pulse-pounding conclusion to the Peregrine Outpost series, survival isn’t just about finding a new home. It’s about proving that humanity deserves a second chance.
Get Desolate Station on Amazon. Available in paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited.

Here are a few of my favorite reviews of Forbidden Refuge:

"Best of the best. Tense at times with relief when needed. I appreciate Stan and his teaching manner. It is prevalent throughout all of his books. The explanations at the end of the book are particularly helpful."
- Kindle Customer on Amazon

"Through the first three volumes, the team faced unbelievably complex and previously un-imagined situations to simply survive and make it to the next terraformed planet hoping it will be better suited to human life. This happens again, and again, and their last hope is Duluphra, the fourth planet they have landed on. It sounds like endless tension, but Stan breaks it up with the teams’ sense of humor and witty dialog."
- Michael D. on Goodreads

"The “stuff” great reading is made of… This entire series takes the reader on an amazing journey via Stan C. Smith’s astonishingly creative vision of life in our universe while focusing on, what one might call, an earlier, present and future form of existence. He certainly gives us ideas to pounder."
- KRM on Amazon

"I am in awe of the author's imagination and inventiveness... This book brought the series to an excellent and satisfying conclusion, but I must confess I will miss the series and the adventures of the magnificent 7, the team members led by the aptly named Seven.
- Patrick on Goodreads

"Desolate Station by Stan C. Smith is an exciting science fiction novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story takes place on a remote, abandoned space station where a group of astronauts are left stranded after a disaster. With their ship damaged and no way to contact anyone, they must work together to survive in a tense and isolated environment. The characters are well-developed, and you really feel for them as they deal with fear, anger, and desperation. The writing creates a dark, eerie atmosphere, making the space station feel like a character itself. The plot is fast-paced, with plenty of action and twists that will keep you hooked."
