Order of Mike Shepherd Books
Mike Shepherd is the pen name of American novelist Mike Moscoe, who writes science fiction novels. He writes the Jump Universe, Kris Longknife, and other series. Mike was born in the Philadelphia Navy Yard Hospital – and left the city at three days old. He did not return until he was drafted. Despite most of Mike’s own war stories focusing around “How I flunked boot camp,” it doesn’t limit his military SF writing abilities. He enjoys reading, writing, watching grandchildren for story ideas and upgrading his computer. Mike lives in Vancouver, Washington, with his wife Ellen, his mother-in-law and any grandkids that come for a visit.
Mike Shepherd debuted this pen name in 2004 with the novel Mutineer. Below is a list of Mike Shepherd’s books in order of when they were originally released:
