At last, Diggory has found a new home. But the last thing he expected was to be called on to lead an expedition to save this home!
Two years ago, pencil-pusher Anton Diggory was stranded in the wilderness of the lost planet, Wayworld. Amazingly, he escaped that wilderness with his life and found a home. At last, he is safe.
Until that safety is threatened by alien marauders. Diggory's new home and friends are virtually defenseless against the encroaching savage warriors.
But then a solitary signal, beckoning from across the wilds of Wayworld, suggests a hope. Diggory must sacrifice peace and safety to face danger once again, in hopes of finding a way to save his people.
Can he survive another trek through the lands that nearly killed him before? Can he find the help they need? And can he bring it back before a vicious army arrives on the doorstep of Diggory's new home?

Diggory's World
(Wayworld, Book 1)
My first novel, Diggory's World is set in a time when humanity has barely colonized the solar system, but faster-than-light travel remains an elussive pipe-dream. Or is it?
Anton Diggory spent his life avoiding risk, always playing it safe. But then, one act of foolish bravery catapults him across the galaxy and maroons him in an alien wilderness, filled with unknown animals, unknown plants, and unknown dangers.
He is out of food, out of his element, and out of luck.
To survive, Diggory must rely on half-remembered lessons from his childhood, and an ingenuity and determination he's never needed before.
Is there any hope of rescue? Is he alone? Can he build a life for himself in this unearthly landscape?
How does a man make his way in the world, especially when the world is totally alien to him?
Now, there is no such thing as playing it safe.
