The first volume of a new science fiction series!


In an ancient alternate history, four distinct regions of South America have merged to form one technologically advanced nation called The Land. 


Twenty-one-year-old Commander Jaway Barbour leads his young crew on military missions against the final remaining holdouts against the empire-the exploited tribes of the Wild Territory. When a bomb explodes, damaging their ship, it sends the crew on unexpected adventures.


How will Jaway and the other youthful risk-takers navigate life and love in this dangerous, exotic world? How long can they evade the looming danger from the Wild Territory clans? And are they fighting on the right side to begin with?


A Buzz, the first volume of Jacob Lightman's epic new science fiction series, delivers thrilling adventures in The Land that could have been.
