TangleRoot

InTangleRoot, the sixth book of my Star Sojourner series, astrobiologist, telepath, adventurer, and all-around adorable nice guy Jules Rammis, is pitted against some Mafia bad guys and a race of aliens that doesn't like to share. But not to worry. Ever-faithful Huff and Jules' team is by his side: crusty Joe, the team leader, Harlem-tough Chancey, mild-mannered Southern medic Bat, and love interest Sophia Rella, who just refuses to stay at hom and let the guys have all the fun. Come along for the wild, action-packed ride as Jules tackles "the family," and an insidious alien plant/animal that eats people for snacks, but has some pretty spectacular properties that can endow humans with a very long lifespan The story takes Jules from Earth to the distant planet Equus, and back again, as he pursues the spreading root system, and tries to stay a jump ahead of the Mafia bad guys who are pursuing him.
