Maxine Justice, Galactic Attorney, Daniel SchwabauerLorehaven reviews Maxine Justice: Galactic Attorney

Maxine Justice: Galactic Attorney starts her career with less than stellar results. When she loses hard on the night court defense circuit, a strange scientist makes her an out-of-this-world offer: broker a deal between his species and the United Nations to cure Earth diseases in exchange for the planet’s gold. Deep schemes lead to deeper questions of legal ethics and even whether pastoral androids can dream of eternal virtue. John Grisham meets Galaxy Quest in Daniel Schwabauer’s whimsy-gilded sci-fi tale, featuring robot judges, secretive aliens, and a truly flawed human heroine.

Best for: Older teen and adult fans of science fiction with retro flair.

Discern: Light alcohol use and lighter allusions to a past romantic fling gone awry; open uncertainty of God’s place in a world of shrewd aliens and questioning robots.

Lorehaven Guild logo 1.1About the Lorehaven Guild

The Lorehaven Guild serves a community of heroes who gather to celebrate Christian-made fantastical fiction with delight and discernment. These stories include (but are not limited to) fantasy, science fiction, and beyond.

Heroes of the Guild will explore their favorite creative works in these genres. We will focus on Christian-made stories, yet occasionally include general market books.

Guild heroes can join monthly Main Quest parties that travel into the fantastical worlds of new books. We will explore these stories’ beauty, goodness, and truth (and opposites!), applying their meanings to the real world of our ultimate Author.

Heroes can also join occasional Side Quest parties that travel into other books, such as older Christian-made stories or general market novels.
