Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Near Fine. Cover Art: Calvin Chu (illustrator). 2008 Edition. © 2008: 3rd in the 'Jason Wander' series of books. 2nd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: Jason Wander is on the firing line again - but this time not as a soldier. He's about to discover that command itself can be an even greater challenge. In the years since the last Slug War, Jason's command style hasn't made him any friends in the army. Now, in an effort to keep him out of trouble, the Army has sent Jason to the vast, Earth-orbiting resort called New Moon. At the core of this enormous space station is a starship, a relic of the last war. When a test run of the ship goes wrong, Jason, along with a handful of others, is torn from orbit and thrust into space. Now, stranded on an alien planet, Jason realises that not only are his friends looking to him for rescue, but an entire planet sees him as their only hope:- Review(s): Praise for Robert Buettner: "Penetrates to the heart of Heinlein's vision" - Washington Post / "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "As much action as any military SF fan could hope for" - John Scalzi / "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Near Fine. Cover Art: Calvin Chu (illustrator). 2008 Edition. © 2005: 2nd in the 'Jason Wander' series of books. 2nd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: The Battle of Ganymede taught Jason Wander about the devastation of war. After seeing the deaths of his troops as well as his lover, this battle-scarred soldier is ready for peace. At twenty-five, General Jason Wander has fought and won man's only alien conflict. Now, after long years in space, he's coming home. But to what? Earth's desperate nations, impoverished by war damage and military spending, are slashing defence budgets. There's just one problem with this new worldwide policy: the first alien invasion was merely Plan A. Suddenly, the real assault begins: Earth is attacked by a vast armada of city-sized warships. To block their invasion, mankind has only one surviving craft and a single guerilla strike force: a suicide squad led by Jason Wander:- Review(s): Praise for Robert Buettner: "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Calvin Chu (illustrator). 2008 Edition. © 2004: 1st in the 'Jason Wander' series of books. 2nd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: When Earth needs heroes, who will we call to valour? When flares streaking across the sky herald massive destruction, who will defend us? When mankind's enemy is beyond our worst imagination, we will need champions. Will we pick the brightest and the toughest - or the ones with nothing left to lose? War is an Orphanage. Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, vaporise whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with obsolete twentieth-century weapons, foot soldiers like eighteen-year-old Jason Wander - orphans that no one will miss - must dare to embark on man's first interplanetary voyage and invade Ganymede. They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with. Their failure will be our extinction:- Review(s): "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman / "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "As much action as any military SF fan could hope for" - John Scalzi:- (original cost £6.99).
