Joe Devlin: And The Lost Star Fighter

By James R. Thomas

Joe Devlin: And the Lost Star Fighter

(The Space Academy Series - Book Two)

Joe Devlin knows the rules.

He just isn't very good at following them.

When Joe's older sister, Ensign Emilie Devlin, is declared Missing in Action deep inside enemy territory, the Intergalactic Space Force makes a decision Joe can't accept-they stop looking.

Everyone else calls it over.

Joe calls it impossible.

Driven by instinct, loyalty, and a bond stronger than orders, Joe uncovers the truth behind Emilie's last mission and realizes something doesn't add up. Against regulations, reason, and overwhelming odds, Joe makes the most dangerous choice of his life: take a stolen combat star fighter and fly straight into the Tourian Void.

What begins as a rescue mission quickly becomes a fight for survival.

Outnumbered. Outgunned. Hunted on an enemy world.
Joe must rely on his training, his friends, and his willingness to sacrifice everything to bring his sister home.

But saving Emilie may cost Joe far more than he ever imagined-his future at the Academy, the trust of his commanders, and possibly his life.
