Can Justice Save the Earth from Extinction?

Maxine Justice is an ambulance-chasing lawyer desperate for relevance and cash when aliens hire her to represent them before the United Nations. An off-planet consortium wants to heal humanity of every natural disease in exchange for 30% of Earth’s gold reserves.

The deal launches Max to legal stardom and makes her an international target for assassins. New Pharma, Sky Cross, MediCorp—the big medical companies all have good reasons to want Max out of the way. Worse, she discovers her alien clients may be planning something more sinister than anyone has imagined.

My Thoughts on Maxine Justice: Galactic Attorney

Umm.  Well. This is different.  It’s a futuristic type novel but it’s also a medical type novel and a novel with a good bit of suspense thrown in.  I’m here for it.  

I love a good suspense story!  This has that.  

I love a good medical mystery story and this fills that spot too. 

Futuristic fiction?  That’s not something that I’m in love with but I found this story to be redeeming enough that I didn’t even notice!  That’s saying a lot and probably some of the highest praise I could give the story. 

This is my first book by this author.  But now I kinda want to stalk him in a good way because he lives close and that’s always exciting! Maybe someday I’ll have an author in the wild moment!  Stay tuned!  I loved the cover at first glance and knew I wanted to read the story.

What in the World is a Galactic Attorney?

Maxine Justice: Galactic Attorney started as a short story concept I began twenty-five years ago but never finished. Back then I thought it would be interesting to write about a hostile takeover of the planet by aliens. But instead of using advanced weaponry and space ships, my aliens would conquer Earth the way modern corporations subsume smaller competitors—through the law.

The main problem with my original story idea was the lack of a suitable hero. It wasn’t until 2018 that an off-handed remark from my daughter provided the inspiration I needed to rethink the entire storyline, and an irrepressible, snarky young lawyer named Maxine strode into my imagination and began a hostile takeover of her own.

Yes, this story was going to have aliens in it, but the aliens were not humanity’s real problem.

Our real problem was the medical industry.

And the insurance industry.

And the Department of Justice.

Oh, and the whole legal profession too.

Our real problem was ourselves.

(Maxine’s problem was that she had no money and no clients, though she did have an axe to grind and a very good reason to give it a fine edge.)

What if Maxine’s search for real solutions to our most corrupt systems led her to realize that Earth’s doom may not come through the cleverness of intergalactic adversaries, but via the corruption of its apex predator?

Could Justice save Earth from extinction then?
