1. Orphanage
Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from
Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, have vaporized whole cities. Under siege, humanity
gambles on one desperate counter strike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps
nd armed with Vietnam-era weapons, foot soldiers like 18-year-old Jason Wander -
orphans that no one will miss - must dare man's first interplanetary voyage and
invade Ganymede. They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with - and
their failure is our extinction.
2. Orphan's Destiny
The Battle of Ganymede taught Jason Wander about the devastation of war. After
seeing the deaths of his troops, as well as his lover, the battle-scarred soldier
is ready for peace.
At twenty-five, General Jason Wander has fought and won man's only alien conflict.
Now, after long years in space, he's coming home.but to what? Earth's desperate
nations, impoverished by war damage and military spending, are slashing defense
budgets. There's just one problem with this new worldwide policy--the first alien
invasion was merely Plan A.
Suddenly, the real assault begins: Earth is attacked by a vast armada of city-
sized warships. To block their invasion, mankind has only one surviving craft
and a single guerrilla strike force.a suicide squad led by Jason Wander.
3. Orphan's Journey
In the years since the last Slug War, Jason's command style hasn't made him any
friends in the Army. Now, in an effort to keep him out of trouble, the Army has
sent Jason to the vast, Earth-orbiting resort called New Moon. At the core of
this enormous space station is a starship, a relic from the last war.
When a test run of the ship goes wrong, Jason, along with a handful of others,
will be torn from orbit and thrust into space. Now, stranded on an alien planet,
Jason realizes that not only are his friends looking to him for rescue, but an
entire planet sees him as their only hope.
4. Orphan's Alliance
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.
5. Orphan's Triumph
Extraterrestrial life has led Earth's population to the verge of extinction -
and humanity's future hangs in the balance. It seems that only Jason Wander
has the experience, and the guts, to do what must be done. But he will sure
need some help ...
