Gabe has always been a natural diplomat. Whether keeping the peace in his household or on the playground, he has always had a gift to be an ambassador. It is because of this skill, in fact, that he is chosen to be Earth’s Ambassador to the Galaxy. It is a prestigious honor that Gabe quickly accepts.  Then his house is destroyed by aliens, and he is attacked by a slayer-bot.  It becomes imperative that Gabe figures out who is after him, so that he can save himself and, very possibly, the entire world.   In Nomad, Gabe attends the Embassy and works to prevent the total destruction of Earth and the nomad space civilization.
