Thistle From The Stars We Come

When Earth is attacked, Ben can't stay on the sidelines-just as he couldn't ignore the alien spacecraft that had crash-landed in the desert before his eyes. But making the leap from actor in a fictional production to soldier in a real intergalactic war is no small feat. Ben hopes he's up to the challenge. Yet as he moves from basic training to active engagement, it quickly becomes clear he's in over his head. The universe is not what he expected, nor are his new friends. Will the commitment to defend his home be more than he can handle or will Ben find himself another casualty of war?
