TROPHY: RESCUE

by Paul M. Schofield, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

In 2065 A.D. the environment collapses, spawning plague that kills billions earth wide. The survivors are forced to take over every aspect of life. So begins the New Victorian Age. Now, 476 years later, the restored Earth and colonized Solar System are ruled by ten women Guardians who answer to the governing computer, CENTRAL. A severe genetic mutation is forcing mankind to extinction. The Keyhole anomaly, a wormhole in space, offers a time-travel to transport genetically sound humans from the past. But a powerful underground organization is rapidly building their forces to eliminate the Empire and gain control of the Keyhole and the Solar System. Only the Planetary Control Corps (PCC) under the leadership of Star-Commander Abigail VanDevere and the dynamic team of Lieutenant Janet Rogerton, Pilot Kolanna Montoombo, Martin, and Panther stand in the rebels' way as they rush to a great space battle at the edge of the Solar System. Will the strength and determination of the PCC be enough? Will they have time to succeed? Rescue is the second book of the Trophy Saga, a future look at a pivotal time in mankind's history. At the end of the book is a handy glossary that fills in many details about the setting.

About the author

“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” ~Aristotle

Born and raised in Montana, immersion in the natural world around me was inevitable. As I grew up, I learned the complexities of language and the joy of humor by exchanging puns with my father. Just as Mark Twain said, “against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.” An avid reader, my favorite genre was science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert and fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien. Coming of age just in time to watch Star Trek, Star Wars and Babylon V, my love of science fiction grew and my desire to craft and share my own stories was ignited. And since, as Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”, I became a writer.

When my wife Ellen and I became chilled to the bone in Montana we moved to Florida. Now we live in Hollywood with our highly intelligent cats.

“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.” ~Isaac Asimov

About my books:

The Trophy Saga is pure science-fiction, action-adventure, written in the style of classic science-fiction. It is not fantasy. My action-packed books, based on scientific fact or theory, feature time-travel, chase and battle scenes, fusion powered star-ships, a computer-controlled society, tender moments and scary episodes. The Saga has a mature theme but is a clean read, suitable for younger readers.
