Don’t Let Out The Magic Smoke: I. Three On A Match

Magic Smoke is a series of novels that tell the story of two crack USAF test pilots recruited into an interstellar defense force and their basic interaction with the myriad inhabitants of the outside universe. While they encounter many races and cultures, some of which are alluded to in terrestrial folklore such as elves and faeries, there are no bug-eyed monsters, no shape-shifting Evil Overlords, no guys-in-white-hats saving Earth from impending doom and destruction. Their escapades run the gamut from puckish pranks and elaborate schemes worthy of the A-Team to fierce deadly combat. Firm friendships and a few subtle hostilities evolve as they explore the universe. Naturally, they also find time for fun and a bit of romance along the way.
