THE HOOK:
Mutiny, sabotage, and an ex-fiancée hooked on the enemy’s telepathic drug is the surest way to lose a four-dimensional space battle.

SUMMARY:
Earth’s war against the Telrachnids is going badly. A new SpaceComm battle strategy is needed against a formidable enemy whose sting injects an addictive drug to telepathically control human beings. 

Newly commissioned Captain Toby Nathanael Louis is on his first mission to deliver a secret weapon prototype, the ‘Crowbar,” a device that can open access to a fourth spatial dimension, to a star base. The mission should have been easy for the inexperienced captain, a ‘milk run’ they told him.

Instead, he encounters a Telrachnid gunship and it seems SpaceComm’s secret Crowbar is not so secret. The gunship is armed with a stolen and much improved version of the weapon—the same weapon that destroyed half of SpaceComm’s fleet! To Toby’s additional horror, he discovers that his ex-fiancée, hooked on the Telrachnids’ powerful telepathic drug, commands that gunship.

Now Toby must find a way to turn his ex-fiancée’s strengths against her and build an alliance with a mutinous second-in-command as he leads a much older crew in an aging spaceship against an enemy out to destroy him and all of humankind.

MILK RUN is a 62,700-word “Sci-Fi grounded in reality” novel in the vein of Tom Clancy’s SSN-STRATEGIES OF SUBMARINE WARFARE; Orson Scott Card’s ENDER’S GAMES; and James S. A. Corey’s (Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) THE EXPANSE. 

Fans of the WWII submarine vs destroyer sea battle movie, RUN SILENT RUN DEEP will see how that old black & white motion picture inspired my writing MILK RUN.
