Produktbeschreibung
As the result of an accident aboard their ship, Xacs Omathe, a California avocado grower, is inadvertently abducted by an alien race which has cultivated life in our galaxy and the greater universe for billions of years. He lives and travels with them for nearly three centuries, experiencing what the future may hold for the Human race.
The creation of all life on Earth was accomplished by the Aanbollth, an extraterrestrial race dedicated to the improvement and continued development of life in the Universe. They are the ultimate engineers of all organisms, great and small, on this beautiful planet known, in part, as M37CXA19B24R3.
The history of Earth and many other worlds is chronicled in the journals of Zaleem Aah Ju Amaharah Ees, Earth's gardener until his untimely death at the relatively young age of 48,373 Earth years.
Sixteen of the seventeen crewmembers aboard the ship are killed immediately, and Zaleem, the Captain, dies five days later. A moment before his death, Zaleem slips an amulet, his recorder, into Xacs's hand, saying it will provide him with safe passage.
An Aanbollth female, Oelphia, for short, is the only other long-term survivor of the accident. She becomes Xacs's life-long mentor, supporting him initially through genetic modifications and rehab, and later by finding him a job and a mate.
Several cycles pass in Part 7. Xacs's life has become rather stable as a result of his being more generally accepted by the public. He no longer is seen as an alien threat with secret plans to steal Aanbol secrets, and his art is widely enjoyed.
As in the past parts of this story, Xacs's activities have been condensed into the most salient events that shaped his life on the planet. The more mundane periods are omitted.
Previously, he and Arlyne Anst had closed a large loophole in the Bank of Aanbol's accounting practices that allowed a great deal of quad to be stolen. Through Other Life interviews they follow the money and facilitate the recovery of a significant portion of the funds. Xacs is rewarded for his efforts and splits that with his lady friends.
After being asked by a customer if the farm was working on any new fruit products, Xacs realizes that there are possibilities he'd never considered because of his preoccupation with surviving numerous assaults. He discovers that one popular fruit on Earth, and not being cultivated on Aanbol, was pineapple. Unlike on Earth, it had not evolved on Aanbol.
His inquiries stimulate the Species Development group to develop a plant similar to one he'd known, and along with Space System Fabricators, the builder of space vehicles, they build a huge greenhouse on the previously undeveloped portion of the farm. With precise environmental controls, pineapple and another new fruit, the mangavo, become major crops for the farm.

Autorenporträt
In his early career, Tommy worked as an engineer and scientist, having degrees from the University of Colorado, and MIT. He worked for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Rockwell International, and Hughes Research Laboratories, with a primary focus on ion propulsion for spacecraft. In later years, he manufactured coal stoker heating equipment.
The Journals of Zaleem Series will be six novels in the science fiction genre. In Part 1, Xacs Omathe is abducted by an alien race and must deal with survival on an alien planet. Eventually, after nearly three centuries of living and traveling with the Aanbollth race, he will be returned to Earth to publish his memoirs before his death.
Tommy has also written The Alexander Affair, The Quixote Files, The Whistler Agenda, and The Heiress and the Black Monk. The last three of these novels follow political reporter Martin Cosgrove as he unravels mysteries and dodges bullets.
Tommy has been married to his high school sweetheart, Claudia, since 1962. They reside in Oxnard, California, with their Yorkie dependents, Oscar and Theo.
