<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The galaxy's two multi-species superpowers stand on the brink of yet another pointless war. Soldiers, draft-dodgers, smugglers and spies from both sides are rushing towards Cedar Commons, an uninhabited forest planet near the border. Everyone has some plan for fighting, avoiding, or profiting from the conflict. None of these plans are going to work out: war destroys plans as efficiently as it does lives. But as the visitors to this once-quiet planet discover each other, they'll make new friends, new enemies, and new plans that have a chance to end the war before it causes the collapse of several civilizations. Funny and poignant, Situation Normal fuses Serenity to Guardians of the Galaxy, the Coen brothers doing Star Trek sentient parasites, weaponized marketing, horny alien teens, and cosplaying monks."--Publisher's description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The galaxy's two multi-species superpowers stand on the brink of yet another pointless war.
