From the best-selling author of Four Years from Home and 2013 Independent Publishers Book Award Bronze Medalist for A Cape May Diamond comes a science fiction adventure of humorous proportions... Walter Stickle and the Galactic Rangers Walter Stickle is an average man from an average town who lives life with nothing more than normal expectations because somewhere along the line he was told that he didn't have the right stuff to do what he always dreamed of doing -- going into outer space. Not that Walter is unhappy. He is very happy in every normal sense. He gets up at the same time every morning, does the same things in the same way every day, and goes to sleep at night content that he is making the world a better place. Yet inside that shell of normalcy is a boy who still dreams of going to the stars someday. Walter Stickle and the Galactic Rangers is the story of a man whose life is forever changed by a pair of mismatched socks, a woman with the ugliest glasses on Earth, and a comic strip.
