Description

Humans have been discovered on the Outworlds. And the Army decides to send emissaries. Emissaries like Jason Wander. As intraplanetary conflicts rage around him, and the personal stakes get ever higher, Jason finds that playing planet-hopping politician can be harder than commanding armies. When united mankind squares off to battle the Slugs for a precious interstellar crossroad, Jason will discover that the most dangerous enemy may be the one he least expects.

Worth the wait. Buy the series or get the individual books from the library. I wish the Slugs had more of a personality, and that we knew the war from their perspective. Beyond that I enjoy the biography of Jason Wander.
A solid performance for Mr. Buettner. The trials of the reluctant and continually amazing Jason Wander lead him across the galaxy once again. I would like to pause and say he is one of the luckiest SOBs in sci-fi history. But with that said, I'd love to have a soldier like him as my commander. However, I sped through much of the book as I was anxious to get to the end of the series. I'd rank this as the least interesting of the series.
Science Fiction: Book 4 in the Orphanage series. In this book Jason has to get both wars on Tressel and on Bren to end. He has to get the people of Bren to help build mousetrap. He then has to get Tressel to help free mousetrap after the "slugs" have taken it over. This is a good book but it's not quite as good as the previous three. Still a good read.
