About this ebook

Renton (Rance) Quigley He’ and his team have taken their first big step towards fighting injustice across the Empire—they’ve saved their own planet from certain destruction!

But you can’t save your world from maniacal ministers every day.

Ever since their fifteen minutes in the spotlight expired, no one’s even knocked on their door. Only Kayley retains her star power as she travels the world on a whirlwind tour. While she’s off being adored by the masses, Rance mopes about worrying if he’ll ever be worthy of his celebrity girlfriend.

When his alien friends come seeking his help to fight off an unknown menace, Rance accepts immediately. He knows it won’t bring him fame or fortune, but who turns down a friend in need?

Then, a complication—a beautiful woman in distress begs his help and promises an enormous fortune should his team be successful. Should Rance put his friends on the back burner and say yes, or should he turn her down?

This is a woman that won’t take no for an answer, however. She is persistent as she is dangerous. But while Rance and team prepare, a government official—who the team were investigating for their alien buddies—investigates them! Can they complete the woman’s task and get the official off their backs at the same time?

Rance must decide what to do…and fast.

Ratings and reviews

Rance and his crew of friends are back. If you thought their life would be easy after they saved the planet, you were wrong. Despite stopping a war and uncovering a government conspiracy in the first novel, they are now struggling to find jobs. That all changes when two jobs they can't say no to fall from the sky. The quips hit fast and funny, the action is fast paced, and I liked how the character's relationships are evolving across the series. This is a must read for science fiction fans.

About the author

Marc B. DeGeorge has made every attempt in his adult life to maintain a balance between how much science and how much art he dabbles in. Sometimes, he’s even successful. When he was young, he wanted to be an astronaut, and then an aeronautical engineer—he even went to Space Camp! But then he learned how to play guitar and his space dreams took a back seat. He spent a decade playing professionally in bands and studying music in college (university only took five years). These days, things have come round full circle, and Marc envisions the future by writing books that imagine what challenges humanity may face, and what we might accomplish together.

When Marc isn’t writing, he performs traditional Japanese music on shamisen and writes, shoots and edits performing arts photos and video—check out some of his work here: https://www.musemarc.com
