Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! (Light Novel) Series

A SAMURAI TANUKI?!

When swordswoman Konoha joins Serena’s edge-world investigation, Hiro’s gobsmacked by her combat chops. Supposedly, Konoha’s here to investigate a metal spider with psionic abilities—and check up on Kugi!

Hiro reunites with Dr. Shouko from the research team and finally heads toward his target star system, only to be interrupted by a telepathic message from a mysterious pyramid. No one else picked the message up, so Hiro’s got to plunge in with both feet!

WILL HIRO BE PSIONICALLY OUTFOXED?!

Shopping in the Empire’s biggest shipbuilding star system, Hiro’s offered a bargain on an intriguingly uncanny vessel! Then he crosses paths with Kugi—a devout fox shrine maiden hailing from a mysterious sect. She can speak to him telepathically and volunteers to teach him to use his powers. Hiro signs on, but he’s about to be put through his psionic paces!

PIRATE QUEEN

With the Seed of the Sacred Tree and Princess Tinia aboard, Hiro and crew join the battle against Red Flag, the pirate gang that attacked the elves’ home planet. Just as the battle is looking hopeless, the Krishna activates a mysterious new barrier—one that seems to have something to do with the Sacred Tree. Meanwhile, Hiro snags the interest of Mary, a buxom mercenary with shady ties. How is Hiro going to shake this gorgeous new troublemaker?

JUST LIKE MAGIC

Hiro and the gang get dragged into rescuing the daughters of an elf patriarch and receive a warm welcome from the elven home planet. The elves here are nothing like Hiro imagined—they know nothing of modern science and rely on magic rather than technology. As Hiro and the girls sample local delicacies, enjoy the sights, and get a crash course in elven fashion, they find that Hiro seems to wield a power much like the elves’ magic…

KNIGHT IN SHINING POWER ARMOR

Hiro and crew take a request to guard colonists transporting valuable terraforming materials to a brand-new system under the oversight of Chris herself. And with their new military battle bots aboard, the gang’s ready for anything—or so they think. Meanwhile, Hiro’s Gold Star has made him a target of the galactic paparazzi. Under the eye of the camera, Hiro and the girls undertake their most dangerous mission yet: defense of an entire planet!

PRINCESS PROBLEMS

After their showstopping defeat of the crystal life-forms, Hiro and the gang head to the imperial capital for Hiro’s award ceremony. No shortage of trouble awaits them in the heart of the empire, from Elma’s overly affectionate brother crashing the party, to a reunion with Chris, to the emperor liking Hiro a little too much. Just when the crew thinks they’ve seen it all, they learn that the imperial princess…is the spitting image of Mimi?!

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO

With the mechanic twins aboard, Hiro and crew accept a transport job that takes them to a new star system…where they run right into a skirmish between Empire ships and the hostile crystal lifeforms. Hiro charges in to save the day, but gets more than he bargained for when he draws the attention of military VIPs. Worse yet, Lieutenant Commander Serena now has a new request: a deadly raid on a galaxy swarming with battleship-sized crystal lifeforms!

TWIN IT TO WIN IT

Hiro and crew head to a planet of dwarves on the hunt for a new carrier ship and a chance to stuff themselves with okonomiyaki and takoyaki, only to find a pair of bombshell twin mechanics! They may look alike, but these girls’ personalities are like fire and ice. If the twins join the crew, will Hiro’s ship ever know peace again?

CYBER-MAID OF ALL TRADES

With their wild vacation behind them, Hiro and his crew finally reunite the count and his granddaughter. Then it’s time for him to get cozy with his new robotic maid! He takes her in for an upgrade, which makes her stronger and sexier than ever. When duty calls, will Hiro and his heavily armed android be able to take down a cybernetic soldier and put the noble feud to rest?

A LITTLE R & R

The rescue of a noble girl gets Hiro and his crew in more trouble than they bargained for. The heat is on and their enemies are closing in, so Hiro decides to…take a vacation? There’s no better place to lie low than a high-class resort in a tropical paradise!

THE UNIVERSE’S MOST WANTED

Hiro blew them all away–literally–on his mercenary job clearing out a space pirate stronghold. Now, the military and a ton of smaller groups are all desperate to recruit him. Not only that, but a major biotech firm is salivating over his otherworldly DNA! All Hiro wants is to keep flying free with his beautiful companions, but how long can he dodge all the people who want to tie him down?

A sci-fi isekai adventure full of ray guns and girls! And don’t miss the manga adaptation, or Survival in Another World with My Mistress! by the same author–both also from Seven Seas.

When Satou Takahiro is swept away from his ordinary life into the world of his favorite video game, a universe of space battles, interstellar colonies, and danger in the vastness of outer space awaits. Soon, he’s living as “Hiro” the mercenary, with a tricked-out spaceship and a babe on each arm! There are space pirates to fight, girls to rescue, and trouble to get into (and hopefully out of). Hiro is going to live his new life to the fullest!
