Fullpoint: Rise to Power

by James R. Green

Fullpoint was an average guy doing the same monotonous job each day. Since he had no family, he was given the opportunity to participate in an experiment that would freeze him for 10 years. The 10 years turned into almost 800 years. The future technology allowed him to heal his injuries from when he was an athlete in school, and advance his knowledge. He became a teacher for a while but craved more. He wanted to see the galaxy. He fought as a gladiator in the galactic coliseum to get money, and later bought a cargo ship to trade with other planets. He made lots of money and became rich and powerful. The galactic military controls the galaxy and has unlimited resources. No military force has even been able to defeat just one of their Hammerhead Warships, and they have hundreds. Earth is one of the most important planets, but even earth was a vassal planet to Chen Zar. He was a ruthless ruler from an alien world who controlled all the military, where he could rule without limitations. Slave planets tended to the needs of the wealthy. Fullpoint built a city on a remote world that later turned into him ruling a country. The galactic military decided to shut him down for good. Fullpoint decided to fight back. He knows he has to raise and army, build ships, and get allies to try to fight the greatest military force in history just to survive.

About the author

James Robert Green (November 4, 1944 – June 23, 2016) was an American historian, author, and labor activist. He was Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Green received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1972. Green studied under the legendary historian C. Vann Woodward, and became acquainted with the leftist historians Eric Hobsbawm and Herbert Gutman. During this time he also was involved in the anti-war movement, which eventually sparked his interest in the history of radicalism in the United States.

Green's research focuses on radical political and social movements in the U.S. (including new social movements), as well as the history of labor unions in the United States. Green writes social and political history from "the bottom up." He writes from a leftist theoretical standpoint.

In 1987, in addition to continuing on the faculty at UMass-Boston, Green was named a lecturer at the Harvard Trade Union Program (now called the Labor and Worklife Program) at Harvard Law School.

In 1995, Green founded the Labor Resource Center at UMass-Boston.

In 1998, Green was named a Fulbright scholar and taught at the University of Genoa in Italy.

Green was a member of the Labor and Working-Class History Association (LAWCHA). He was a vice president of LAWCHA from 2001 to 2003 and its president from 2003 to 2005.
