WAR HERO. PIRATE FIGHTER. FRESHMAN DORM ADVISOR.

Even the best schools have problem students. Fremantle University has a bumper crop this year, turning the seventh floor of the north dorm into a vortex of delinquents, drama, and space-age mad science. For Tanner Malone, it's a breath of fresh air. Anything is better than interstellar war and genocidal aliens.

Those ugly threats haunt Tanner again when an adorable alien refugee comes to him for help. The Runners have barely survived extinction and captivity, and now live under the mercy of a corporate overlord. Worse yet, the menace that nearly wiped them out still threatens their world. Tanner can't call in the Archangel Navy for help this time—but college life may have given him exactly the allies he needs.
