Junker Blues: Mars by Lon E. Varnadore

Marcus Redding is tired of looking over his shoulder. Though he’s much happier combing through space junk than he was serving a sinister race of aliens, his tenuous freedom comes at the price of constant fear. But when he salvages a probe from a derelict ship stuffed with the undead, he’s forced to flee trouble… and flies straight into the crosshairs of the Martian Defense Force’s artillery.

Crashing hard on the sandstorm-ravaged Red Planet, Marcus fights for survival alongside the mind-penetrating co-pilot he’s still not sure he can trust. And with his otherworldly abductors closing in on his location, failure to launch could prove fatal.
