Jason Miller slogs through life at
minimum wage, content that a safe,
but mediocre, existence is the best
he can achieve. His plans, or lack
thereof, change suddenly when an
alien army conscripts him at
random. Jason never realized how
good things were in the dairy aisle
until he views a galaxy in turmoil,
teetering at the brink of war,
dangling at the end of a very SHORT
FUSE. Wanting only to survive, Jason
leaps at his first chance to escape
and seeks refuge at the only safe
port he can find, a neutral colony
located between hostile borders.
Things here are not as they seem.
Many would-be allies recognize the
valuable technology he carries
inside his body, and everyone has
their own agenda. Jason begins to
understand, too late, the truth
surrounding his escape and
presence at the colony.
