H. Paul Honsinger (1960–2020)

The vermin appear and Max is trained and ready

Good Morning Vietnam transposed nicely into the future

What starts out as a covert spying mission ends as a strenuous training mission for Max as the serious aliens need some of the lesser folks to deal with the vermin that are beneath them.

Max and his new destroyer face 8 alien ships that have them surrounded. No problem, as the only United Space pilot trained by the most advanced alien race in the known universe; the rat faces do not stand a chance. Sadly this seems to be the last in this series as Paul Honsinger passed away in 2022.
