He doesn\u2019t want to leave the only home he\u2019s ever known. He doesn\u2019t want to be apprenticed on a space freighter crewed by Texas cowboys of Mexican descent. He certainly doesn\u2019t want to be gone for so long that his home and inheritance are stolen. While trying to fit in and still get home he learns what it is like to live in space, what a cheerleader is, how spicy a taco can be, and that Texicans like a good fight as much as he does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paperback:<\/strong> 360 pages<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (October 13, 2014)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Language:<\/b> English<\/li>\n<li><b>ISBN-10:<\/b> 1500639184<\/li>\n<li><b>ISBN-13:<\/b> 978-1500639181<\/li>\n<li><b>Product Dimensions: <\/b> 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.8 inches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-685\" src=\"https:\/\/alanblackauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Dark-Space-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Dark Space\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alanblackauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Dark-Space-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alanblackauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Dark-Space.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-686 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/alanblackauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Black-Hole-250x250.jpg\" alt=\"Black Hole\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; NOW available on audiobook thru Amazon, Audible &amp; I-Tunes.
