WARNING: YA fiction about space travel, friendship, and love. No glittery vampires allowed. Commander Harper is searching for water on Mars when he makes an unexpected discovery. It makes him a living legend, but that only leads to more missions. Once again, he has to leave his son behind. Not if his son has anything to say about it. This summer Tully Harper puts away his video games and plans a mission of his own - to sneak into space on his father's ship. To do that he will need plenty of help from Little Bacon, his pint-sized android, and his two best friends. Along the way, they will uncover The Conspiracy Game and change the fate of the solar system. This time Tully Harper won't be left behind. "Tully's enthusiasm for space travel and commitment to his friends sends this story deep into our solar system. It's a quirky, fun book that also manages to treat space travel seriously." - Astronaut Jerry Ross, author of Spacewalker
