I wrote a trilogy, literally nobody read it. I couldn't even get my partner to read it. The main character, 3d printer, maker, programmer, discovers an electric engine that brings him to space, but then as he gets stranded in orbit due to various breakdowns. Aliens save him and this unlocks space for humans, but this occurs at basically the same time as a major space war begins. The main character tries to inform Earth, but being a nobody, he's taken as a crackpot. Basically a long adventure and lots of bad decisions. Second book, independently and mostly unaware of the main character. The US government went ham trying to get us a ship and such into orbit of jupiter to investigate the aliens. But unknown to the US gov, the intention of the ship was to never return, to become a self-sustaining space station in jupiter orbit. Then all the drama around doing that. Including an invasion by 2 of the hostile alien birds. Third book, Earth's first space war. This independent station in jupiter orbit is no longer the only interests. There's mars, venus, and other colonies. A major world war is occurring on earth but for the most part the space fleet were staying out of it. The losing side on earth orders their space fleet 'to do something' but they just end up sparking the space war. The main characters get drawn into the battle unintentionally because they arent as stealthy as they think.
