A wry but intelligent spacefaring adventure that examines the conflicting loyalties of a crew of reluctant heroes as they wangle through an absurd interplanetary war.
When decades of squabbling between the Jovian Admiralty and the Martian Commonwealth over the right to ravage Earth's corpse finally deteriorates into interplanetary war, a nervy Jovian communications specialist named Yarn is plucked from his asteroid miner and carted off to the front line. Reluctant to fight in what he considers a hollow political power play, he believes himself delivered when a fleet of disillusioned but determined stellar peacekeepers return from their long exile. But Yarn finds these Old Fleet captains have little sympathy for Jove, and he must redirect their ire before his home chokes on the Admiralty's just deserts.
Intelligent without being cerebral, WASTE SPACE HEROES is a spacefaring adventure that examines the camaraderie and conflicting loyalties of men and women fighting a gritty, unjust war. Never short on scrappy bravado, the protagonists flit through frenzied space battles and subversive political maneuvers in pursuit of peace, fully prepared to trample anyone who stands in their way.
