WOODSTOCK, GA APPEARANCE RESCHEDULED TO JUNE 7, 2008 - CLICK NEWS, APPEARANCES
In April, 2008, Jason Wander returns to the firing line - but no longer as a grunt.
War orphan high school dropout Jason Wander's smart-aleck style won mankind’s first space war. But since then, it has won him few friends in the army. To muzzle him, the army has assigned Jason to a vast Earth-orbiting resort. At that space station’s core lies an alien starship, a relic of the last war. When a test goes wrong, Jason will be torn from orbit and thrust into space. Now, stranded on a distant planet, Jason must save his friends, lead a primitive human army against the alien scourge of the universe, and learn that command is an orphan’s journey.
