Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, vaporize whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with Vietnam-era weapons, foot soldiers like eighteen-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. Their failure is our extinction.

John Scalzi has written perhaps the second-best military sci-fi series since Heinlein. Robert Buettner has written the best. Everything you want in a high-test future-with-spaceships (barely) tale and nothing you don't. Buettner is not, say, Joe Haldeman, but Orphanage and its progeny are absolutely without reservation outstanding. My son can't get enough of Buettner, now.
