I'll Be Home for Christmas

Its the year 2098, and Terra, slightly different from Earth, has become a united planet. Air Force Lieutenant Tinker "Andy" Anderson has been recruited to the Space Force. Hell be one of an elite crew heading to Venus to rescue a previous disastrous exploration mission headed by Colonel Edward Pettigrew. The government wants Pettigrew, the sole survivor, brought back to Terra and court martialed.

The mission is harrowing, but its successfully completed, with Andy and Pettigrew developing feelings for each other on the hazardous return journey. However, while theres more to deal with back on Terra, Andy is told the court martial has been postponed and is given leave. What no one realizes is Andy has a second sense, and when it starts alerting him something is seriously wrong, he returns to Base. Sure enough, Pettigrews court martial has never been delayed and is scheduled to begin the next day. Andy has some cards up his sleeve, though, and the phantom agency behind the entire disaster is foiled.

Andy and the man he calls Best continue their military careers, but with the holidays fast approaching, will the one thing Andy wants most -- to be home for Christmas with his family and the man he loves -- be what he gets?
