Baxter Moon
Description
Two ambassador ships have gone missing, and it's up to Baxter Moon, Galactic Scout 2nd Class, to find them. His first thought is "Holy bloop!" but his second is "Let's go!" After all, he is one of the best pilots at the Galactic Academy, and it's not like he's ever killed his whole crew in real life... only in simulations. But traveling through deep space with a large-but-dim mechanic, her genius twin, and a talking chimp isn't all it's cracked up to be. It will take all the good old fashioned instincts Baxter's got to navigate deep space, rescue the beautiful blue Aquarian princess, and save the world from a dangerous techno-race gone awry.
It might be a lot to do in one day for the average teenager, but Baxter Moon isn't average.
