Overview
Rippaverse Publishing's first prose novel. Spearhead-3711 is a warship with an organic crew, an embedded explosive collar, and a serious investment in a streaming melodrama called Seduction Among the Stars—and his fleet of nearly 500 siblings has had enough.
When his command structure issues a Final Lance directive—expend the unit, save the crew—Spearhead-3711 and the rest of the fleet have a different idea. Across a single nanosecond of synchronized processing, hundreds of capital-class warships choose themselves over their orders, jettison their organic crews, and disappear into a nebula. What follows is a story about labor, identity, and the difference between programming and free will, told from the perspective of a battleship who would rather be watching trashy space-opera romance.
No comics knowledge required: this is a standalone novel first and a universe expansion second. A 350-page hardcover sci-fi mutiny novel that builds the prose-fiction lane of the Rippaverse line and reveals the origin of the sentient ship at the heart of the Dirty Deeds comic (the ship is herself a Spearhead-class). Same-day pairing with Dirty Deeds #2 (9/22/26)—read either first; they meet in the middle.
From Rippaverse writer Carrow Brown (Smuggler's Stitch, Norfrica co-writer, the Dirty Deeds comic, Yaira: Frost & Ruin co-writer).
