Xea in the Library of All Human Knowledge
At last the truth had been revealed to them. The little group of MAC clones had only just discovered that they had somehow survived the horrific end of humankind more than sixteen thousand years before. Now the tall Australian doctor, the stoic engineer, the visual artist, the bumbling surfer, the affable secretary, the gregarious restaurateur, the elderly tinkerer and the reticent school teacher finally knew of the precariousness of their peculiar situation: they were some of the very few remaining members of the species. More alarming still was the creeping realization that they were now solely responsible for the future of all of mankind. It was frighteningly clear that the ancient protocols and dogmas of past generations had led to the destruction of virtually all humans. What was needed was a new and different point of view. A petite dark-haired girl named Xea would provide much of this fresh perspective.

About the author
S.F. Chapman
6 books23 followersA lifelong Northern Californian, S F Chapman traded his construction job for the more docile (but no less demanding) profession of novelist in 2008 when the US economy faltered.
The tireless author has since written eight books. His first, "I'm here to help" (published by Striped Cat Press in July of 2012), is a literary fiction novella about a teenage daughter looking for answers to some troubling inconsistencies in her birth certificate. "The Ripple in Space-Time" (published by Striped Cat Press in February of 2013) is Chapman’s second book. It is an exciting science fiction detective adventure set in a moldering and corrupt future controlled by greedy warlords.
S F Chapman's third novel, "On the Back of the Beast" was released in August 2013. The author describes it a fast-paced disaster survival story centering around a giant earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Other completed works awaiting publication are the post-apocalyptic soft science fiction MAC Series consisting of "Floyd 5.136", "Xea in the Library" and "Beyond the Habitable Limit"; and a recently completed sequel to "The Ripple in Space-Time" entitled "Torn From On High."
Chapman is currently writing a rough and tumble literary fiction novel about homelessness called "The Missive In The Margins."
S F's huge gray male tabby cat keeps him company while he writes and was the inspiration for Striped Cat Press.
