No one expects to save the universe when they get up in the morning. "Baxter Moon: Galactic Scout" follows Baxter as he falls into his new job of commanding a space shuttle crewed with, among others, a chimpanzee. He finds if he doesn't act fast, the Earth shall fall to an Alien Force--and the Earth won't even know it before it's far too late. "Baxter Moon: Galactic Scout" is charming science fiction novel, a top pick for community library collections catering to their fans.
