Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to a galaxy long ago, but not so far away. This is the beginning of a collection of tales unearthed from ancient sites across Earth-stories of a fantastical, futuristic galactic conflict spanning thousands of worlds. In this painstakingly researched saga, the liberty-loving Galactic Union stands as a bulwark of freedom against a totalitarian commonwealth devoted to social justice, economic equity, and enforced equality.
But before this cold war ignites into a galactic inferno, we start with the story of Joe Kaboom-a college athlete navigating his way through a vast galaxy. Joe is a turfball gladiator of formidable prowess with dreams of fame and fortune-and no interest in the politics of the day. On the field, his strength and skill make him a force to be reckoned with, but his jump pack is useless without the energy provided by his cheer team. That's where Ginny Jupiter and Sharon Baryon come in-cheerleaders whose spirited chants literally power Joe's leaps toward victory. Together, they form a team united by more than just the game, bound by courage, loyalty, and the resilience needed to grow up under the looming shadow of a Great Galactic Conflict.
This is a feel-good story, a quick read, and based on a true story ... sort of.
Perfect for fans of character-driven, traditional-values space opera adventures set against a galaxy of interstellar intrigue and action.
