About the author

Dayton is a software developer, having become a slave to Corporate America after spending eleven years in the U.S. Marine Corps. When asked, he’ll tell you that he left home and joined the military soon after high school because he’d grown tired of people telling him what to do all the time.

Ask him sometime how well that worked out.

In addition to the numerous credits he shares with friend and co-writer Kevin Dilmore, he is the author of the Star Trek novels In the Name of Honor and Open Secrets, the science fiction novels The Last World War and The Genesis Protocol, and short stories which have appeared in the first three Star Trek: Strange New Worlds anthologies, the Yard Dog Press anthology Houston, We’ve Got Bubbas, Kansas City Voices Magazine and the Star Trek: New Frontier anthology No Limits. Though he currently lives in Kansas City with wife Michi and daughters Addison and Erin, Dayton is a Florida native and still maintains a torrid long-distance romance with his beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Reviews

[Sean Randall · Rating 3 out of 5]

Exciting, with a great pulp feel. I'm sad to say the cards weren't part of my scene and I still have yet to see the movie, but hey, enjoyed this.

Enjoyable enough, but very reminiscent of his Star Trek book From History's Shadow; Mars Attacks was deliberately loony, and this book was pretty straight. Although, I didn't get the full title on my Kindle. Trading card series?
