    About this ebook

    To bring the subject of aliens into humanity's face, Seth Gingko has started the First Interplanetary War, and now he's got to deal with the consequences.
    He's also handed over blueprints of his alien-souped ship to the Fellowship; they'll clone it and use the new design against the Tysilions.
    Putting himself and his friends in the front line against the alien menace, he fights against the tentacled Tysilions. Unfortunately, since the Fellowship now have his design, he's also about to find he's surplus to requirements.
    So much for friendship, huh?
    Ah well, he's always worked better as a maverick.
    Seth's off on another adventure...

    Dennis E. Smirl

    Dennis E. Smirl has been an Air Force officer, a salesman for a Fortune 500 company, a school psychologist, a computer science instructor at several colleges and universities, and a business owner. Married to his college sweetheart for more than half a century, he has spent time in Mexico, Japan, and South Vietnam, but prefers to take family vacations in the USA and Canada. A writer for as long as he can remember—he attempted a first novel at age ten—his first taste of national publication was a race report written and published in 1965. A science fiction fan for almost the same length of time, Mr. Smirl joined the Science Fiction Book Club when member numbers were much shorter. Beyond his interest in Science Fiction, he has had a lifetime interest in horseback riding, auto racing (as a driver), golf, photography, computers and information processing, and mystery novels. He has written thirteen novels and more than seventy short stories and novellas.
