War and Space

An unarmed Earth Exploration Ship is attacked by unknown aliens with more advanced technology. The other two novellas of the trilogy are 'The Local War' and 'Battle for Homeworld'.This trilogy is an attempt to look at whether space war is possible, and like the previous 4 novels of the Bad Boy cycle makes fun of some accepted Sci-fi ideas. This is not a conventional space war book.After 150 years of peace on Earth the unarmed Interstellar Exploration Ship, the "Highway to Heaven" is attacked without apparent provocation by unknown aliens with much more advanced technology than the Earthmen.This is a self contained book although many of the Characters were first introduced in the earlier books of the Bad Boy cycle, and reference is often made to earlier events.This novella is the first book in the 'War and Space' Trilogy which is an attempt to look more logically at War between space faring races. Because it makes fun of some accepted science fiction ideas, a sense of humour is needed to understand the book.This Novella follows on from the Bad Boy Quadrilogy of novels.
