Five hundred years in the future, after the collapse of civilization in the 21st century, the Earth has been restored to beauty and peace by the women directed New Victorian Empire under the care of the Guardians and CENTRAL, the ruling super-computer. But mankind's continued existence is in jeopardy, and it seems that time travel through the mysterious Keyhole in space is the only way to rescue the human race. In a classic struggle between good and evil, Lieutenant Janet Rogerton and the determined officers of the Empire pursue the deadly rebel Galen Bestmarke through space and time to stop him from making more living trophies and to gain the knowledge that only he possesses about time travel ... knowledge desperately needed to save humanity. With only two generations left success is absolutely essential to prevent mankind's total extinction.
TROPHY is an engaging, fast moving and action packed science-fiction adventure with fusion powered star-ships, soldiers of the Planetary Control Corp, half human androids, half animal androids, mind-linked guider/pouncer teams, computer controlled societies, tender moments and riveting action. Highly recommended for young adult and adult readers, the TROPHY saga will continue with sequels and prequels.
“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.
