LLM 3000: Book 1

An angry man's voice comes over the com system, “you shorted me, you think you're so clever!” He shouts, “I want my prostitute back!” “She’s not a prostitute, she’s what? Twelve!” Brimstone shouts, “now Echo and I have to raise her up!” The man's growling voice shouts back, “I don’t employ twelve year old's!” “You should be paying us for babysitting fees!” Brimstone responds.

In a world where steam powers innovation and brass is the currency of dreams, Mercedes A. Cooper gives life to Echo: the captain of a delivery airship in Loser league of Misfits 3000.

Echo and her pilot Brimstone must put their heads together to hire enough crew members to get the jobs done.

They stumble across their crew members in unexpected ways: one at a brothel and another on a prison planet. Where will their journey take them?

As the clock ticks down, alliances will be tested, secrets revealed, and the fate of the crew members of LLM 3000 hangs in the balance. Will Echo outsmart the army commander, who is also her father Atlas and uncover the truth before it’s too late?

About the Author

Thumbnail Picture

Mercedes A. Cooper grew up in Marmora, ON, Canada. In her childhood, she faced the challenge of dyslexia and only learned how to read fluently at the age of ten. Since then, she discovered a deep love for high fantasy books. By twelve, she started crafting her own fairy tales, a passion which led her to a professional writing career later.

In 2021, Mercedes started publishing the Red of Royal series, followed by LLM 3000, the first book in the Losers League of Misfits series, co-authored with her mother Elaine Gibbs. More releases came later, including her stand-alone novel Junipers Axel and Asarune Book 1, the first in an exciting new series.

Diversity has always been present in Mercedes’ writing. But only in early 2024 she took a personal step by coming out as a lesbian. This brave action led her to meet the person who she got married in April 2025. She believes that her stories offer readers narratives that resonate far beyond the realms of fantasy.

When not writing, Mercedes can be found painting for her family, children and friends or planning her next travel.
