Jason King - Agent to the Stars

When the aliens came to Earth and outlawed war, it left Army Ranger Lieutenant Jason King looking for another way to make a living. Now he's a successful real estate broker working on the planet Sylox-the capital of the Galactic Union-yet he's always itching for the chance to get back in the saddle again . . . So, when an old Army buddy shows up on his doorstep, Jason finds himself drawn into a web of high-stakes intergalactic intrigue and adventure, and with the fate of Earth hanging in the balance. At the crux of the conspiracy are the legendary Galactic Lights, a collection of fabled objects with the power to destroy worlds-if they really do exist. Now Jason has learned the truth: The Lights are real, and the balance of power in the galaxy rests with their recovery and transport to Sylox for safekeeping. Now Jason is the only person in the galaxy who can save the Union, along with his precious homeworld-Earth. If he succeeds, he wins the love and respect of the woman of his dreams . . . as well as about fifty tons of gold and the galaxy's most prized treasure. But if his mission fails, the Union will fall, and Earth will be destroyed. For Jason King, it's just another day at the office . . . No one said Jason was the noble hero type. He just ends up doing heroic deeds . . . and often against his own natural instincts.

Eleven years ago, Army Ranger Jason King lost his job when the aliens came to Earth and outlawed war among nations. Now he makes a fairly decent living as the top real estate broker on the planet Sylox, the capital of the Galactic Union. His clients are primarily Humans coming to the planet to work at the huge Embassy Complex, and they find Earth-like housing-along with a little taste of home-in the sprawling Enclaves of Sylox. Things are going pretty well for Jason, right up to the time his latest customers arrive from Earth-and that's when all hell breaks lose! Now Jason finds himself entangled in layer upon layer of deadly conspiracy involving a quasi-religious artifact whose theft is about to trigger a galactic war. The Earth has also become ensnared in this conspiracy, placing her squarely in the crosshairs of two vindictive alien species bent on her destruction. Now all Jason King has to do is recover the artifact, capture the thief, prevent a galaxy-wide war, and save the Earth from annihilation. And do all this between his real estate closings. Oh . . . and there's also a super-hot woman right in the thick of things just to keep things interesting. And don't forget the headlong chases through exotic star systems, and the shoot-outs, and the fist-fights-all the good stuff that puts the adventure in space opera adventure!
