Last Defense

Michael Thorn is a problem to himself, his family and everyone around him. It runs far more deeply than that, however. When Michael is around ships sink, people die and everything in general goes wrong. In essence, nothing is safe. But Michael, cast off by his wealthy family to wander the globe, may be mankind's last hope.

Man has deadly enemies out among the stars. Enemies who wield overwhelming power. The galaxy may be large, but is there room enough for both an alien race consumed by greed and a helpless planet ripe for plunder--the Earth?

This novella, the first in a bold, unique new Science Fiction series, poses a question--dare anyone be left behind? The answer is both simple and startling. If mankind's last hope rests upon the forgotten, then who will stand to vindicate humanity?
