Blessed Are the Peacemakers
by Johne Cook
July, 2009

“Blessed Are the Peacemakers,” an homage to Keith Laumer’s ‘Retief’ character, is the featured story in the second issue of Digital Dragon magazine, http://www.digitaldragonmagazine.net/

A former space marine is caught between his principles and his duty as he juggles working for an old enemy while trying to forge a crucial treaty with a ferocious alien race.

I like how this story turned out. Stick around for the author’s bio at the end. I had some fun with it.
