When the colony’s governor requisitions the colonists’ personal weapons, Peter Dawe’s father sets him a simple task. Get their weapon back. But the Marss…

I’m super excited to attend Dragon Con this year.  This will be my first time, and I am in awe of the size of it, tens of thousands of attendees and four hotels.  Wow. I will be on two panels.  You will recognize me because I’ll be the one talking about space law.  They are:…
