Everything changes on Service Day, when an officer from the Fleet visits school and hands him an appointment to the Space Academy. Thrilled, Alexander puts on a space suit and leaves the farm behind, but his excitement is tempered when he discovers that he’s the key to a galaxy-wide intrigue that involved his father—his father the farmer and freighter captain, or could he be something else?For more on Alexander's adventures go to www.dragons-and-dreadnauts.com or the author's blog at www.christopherlanderson.wordpress.com
