The Light-Years Beneath My Feet

Foster, Alan Dean
Second book in the Taken Trilogy, Marcus becomes a chef, gets a crush on an alien chick, is named military boss, is captured, un-captured, and zooms away towards the third book.

Jake is suspended from college for drinking, and decides to get a job at the "steel mill" his father and grandfather worked at.
