About this series
Cowboy Nathan resigned himself at seventy-five years of age to spend his last days in Shady Hills Retirement Center reading old westerns and trying to stay in good enough shape to avoid adult diapers.
Widowed and with busy adult children, his tendency to fall at odd times made him too much of a burden. Right up to the night of his first mission with the Earth Protection League.
Suddenly he found himself young again and a captain of a fighter, with a new crew, going up against the alien Ticks as they swarmed over the border to take EPL planets.
He sure enjoyed popping Ticks and saving Earth at the same time.

USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith finally gives the popular Captain Brian Saber his first full-length novel. Brian Saber and Dot Leeds constantly must leave their nursing home rooms and their aging bodies to fly across known space to save the Earth and the Earth Protection League. They love the job, they love feeling needed. But in the end, will being needed be enough? A novel of hope and a future that will leave you smiling and wishing you could join the Earth Protection League, when you get old enough.
- Ball of Confusion: An Earth Protection League Novella: Earth Protection League, #2
2
A giant round spaceship the size of Jupiter flashes in from outside the galaxy, clearly out of control, headed directly for the Earth system. Captain Friday "Disco" Franks and Captain Emma Dakota meet in a nursing home on Earth where she feeds his stroke-ravaged body three meals a day. Then the Earth Protection League tasks them with not only stopping the giant ship to save Earth, but exploring it. Another fun romp into the depths of the Earth Protection League space.
- Let's Dance: An Earth Protection League Short Story: Earth Protection League
Dean Wesley Smith loves writing Earth Protection League stories. Old people in space, saving the Earth. Since he's old, this provides wonderful dreams for Dean. He wrote this story especially for Robert Jeschonek's wonderful anthology SPACE:1975 that came out in January of 2021. And, of course, science fiction with 1975 tropes, the Earth Protection League must save Earth from a giant disco ball. What else?
