A Far Away Galaxy Lucille Frazier Burgio

Extraterrestrials have finally made contact-and nothing is running smoothly. Dr. Shaun Rossiter, preeminent virologist, is kidnapped by the visitors to aid in curing an epidemic threatening to wipe out the alien's species in a far away galaxy called Oceanorange.

In Washington, D. C., Zac Destaphone, an American diplomat instrumental with ending nuclear proliferation, reveals to a select group of congressional officials that he a visitor from Oceanorange and has been undercover for many years monitoring Earth's development of new weapons of mass destruction.

As Oceanorange comes under attack from its neighboring planet, Starmist, U. S. General, Lance Jorgensen hires Zac to rescue Dr. Rossiter and help prevent interplanetary conflict from spreading-igniting a firestorm of shifting alliances, betrayal, romance, and war.

Part social commentary, space opera, and political satire, Far Away Galaxy is a fond tribute to science-fiction films of the 1950s.
