Publisher's Synopsis
ACTION! A star devouring ship bears down on an unsuspecting colony, and only the Last Star Warden and his alien companion, Quantum, can stop it!SUSPENSE! An abandoned space station is terrorized by unearthly forces, and the Last Star Warden and Quantum must stop them before they destroy the galaxy!MYSTERY! A frantic call for help leads the Last Star Warden and his friend Quantum to a city of debauchery and secrets where madness threatens to overtake them!INTRIGUE! An intended vacation plunges the Last Star Warden and Quantum into the internecine warfare of corporate corruption!ADVENTURE! Held captive on the worst prison ship in the galaxy, the Last Star Warden must find a way to escape before Quantum is killed!Herein are five daring tales full of thrills and uncertainty from Jason J. McCuiston, author of the intriguing alternate history novel PROJECT NOTEBOOK. He gives us a fantastic new look at classic sci-fi pulp - the same themes are there, but with modern sensibilities thrown in, complete with his own illustrations. So if you're looking for stories reminiscent of the days when heroes of all kinds stood for justice and the common good, you'll love the adventures of the Last Star Warden!"The Last Star Warden is exactly what it looks like: a rollicking collection of space western stories. McCuiston delivers big with plenty of imagination and thrills. He pays homage to a western classic formula while injecting enough delightful alien weirdness to justify the intergalactic setting. The Warden and Quantum are unashamedly heroic heroes doing what's right in an unforgiving universe. Highly recommended." Bryce Beattie, Editor of StoryHack Action & Adventure and author of Swordcrossed Frostbite"...the Last Star Warden meets all with steely grace and nobility - and a rare and refreshing level of pure, pulpy fun. Jason McCuiston's excellent book of adventures reads like a time warp back to boyhood Saturdays when classic Science Fiction played all afternoon on UHF. A fantastic experience!" Gregory L. Norris, Author of the Gerry Anderson's Into Infinity novels by Anderson Entertainment
