Award-winning author Mark Ehrlich grew up in New York City and northern New Jersey captivated by the Gemini and Apollo programs, baseball, and football. When he wasn't in school or away at college, he learned the meaning of hard work while mowing lawns, counseling campers, boxing magic tricks, and mixing plastisols. In his twenties, he survived the Peace Corps, then withstood a pressure cooker of a job in a remote Southeast Asian refugee camp before seeing a good deal of the world as a reward. Next came several decades of pursuing value during a corporate career in the shipbuilding, railroad, and automotive industries. The last act, a 24-year stretch with a well-known Japanese car company, included a 5-year stint in Japan.

Devilishly funny Sci-Fi tale that ended too soon!

Extremely engaging tale of three angels wrestling with orders from on high and exploring creative solutions to their problem. Brilliant stroke to create such characters for this genre!

Read for research purposes and enjoyed this wild tale about a crazy USG plot and scientists in the US and Japan out to stop it. Hoped for more setting-related content (Kyoto).

“Seeing her hands trembling, he felt a familiar thrill run down his spine. He lived for these moments. She’d been so full of herself, so confident. Then, with just a shove from him, she’d collapsed like a house of cards. The joy of crushing his opponents made sweating through two uniforms a day worth it.”
Mark S. Ehrlich, Float the Boat

“The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who have helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.”
Ulysses S. Grant

“She smiled. She knew she was dying. But it did not matter any longer. She had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. She had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. Life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. A moment or an eternity- did it matter? Life, undefeated, existed and could exist. She smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.”
Ayn Rand, We the Living

“Seeing her hands trembling, he felt a familiar thrill run down his spine. He lived for these moments. She’d been so full of herself, so confident. Then, with just a shove from him, she’d collapsed like a house of cards. The joy of crushing his opponents made sweating through two uniforms a day worth it.”
Mark S. Ehrlich, Float the Boat

“Tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie.”
Simonides
