"Robert Buettner is a master writer of military science fiction" - Genregoround reviews, on Orphan's Alliance and the Jason Wander Series
On June 1, 2009, Orbit will release Book 5 of the Jason Wander Series, Orphan's Triumph. After forty years of fighting the Slugs, mankind's reunited planets possess the doomsday weapon that can end the war, and the mighty fleet that will carry it to the Slug homeworld.
Since the Slug Blitz orphaned Jason Wander, he has risen from infantry recruit to command Earth's garrisons on the emerging allied planets. But his war has cost Jason not just friends and family, but his innocence.
When an enemy counterstroke threatens to reverse the war and destroy mankind, Jason must finally confront not only his lifelong alien enemy, but the reality of what a soldier's lifetime has made him.
