Young Defenders, Book 1
JORGAN'S STORY
A Middle-Grade Tie-In to the AFV Defender series.
NEW and available TODAY!
In paper and print and audiobook
Meet Jorgan Pace, adopted son of Fleet medics. He
wants to be an engineer, but going to the Fleet Academy is far in the future:
he’s only ten years old.
When the Pace family is transferred to the Defender,
they meet two other families also traveling to their new assignment: the
Speranzis and Waylans. Jorgan and Bo Speranzi become friends immediately. The
Waylan children are whiners and bullies. When the Waylan boys play a nasty
trick on Jorgan, he turns the transport ship’s facilities against them. It’s
only irritating, not dangerous, but Jorgan is disciplined. The boys retaliate
even further, trying to frame him for damaging equipment. Jorgan ends up
becoming friends with the technician who makes the repairs.
Bo has mechanical legs, and regular power flow problems make life difficult for him. Jorgan tries to help, because of his love of gizmos. The boys discover a nearly mythical shipboard “pest“ is hiding inside the mechanical legs and draining power. They capture the creature, a light snake, resolving Bo’s problems and giving them a possible pet. However, they need permission from the captain of the Defender and the chief engineer, to keep the light snake. Jorgan is delighted to learn that he has a chance to present the trap he invented to one of his heroes, Chief Engineer Jasper Lore of the Defender.
