Produktbeschreibung

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, 475 years later, the restored Earth and colonized Solar System are ruled by ten women Guardians who answer only to a governing computer, CENTRAL. But mankind faces extinction at the conclusion of the next generation. The Keyhole anomaly, a wormhole in space, offers a solution: time-travel to transport genetically sound humans from the past. Renegade nuclear engineer Louis Franelli has developed the technology of that time-travel. His employer, criminal and rebel Galen Bestmarke, is using it to go back to 1975 A.D. to collect hunting trophies and establish a slave-trade through time. The Empire is desperate to recover Franelli and his technology so they can use it to save mankind. The Planetary Control Corps (PCC) under the direction of the Guardians, Star-Commander Abigail VanDevere, and the dynamic young team of Lieutenant Janet Rogerton and Pilot Kolanna Montoombo face the daunting task of stopping Bestmarke and capturing Franelli. Can the determined officers of the PCC succeed? Can they do so in time? Trophy is the first book of the Trophy Saga, a future look at a pivotal time in mankind's history. It tells the story of the continuing struggle to prevent the extinction of the human race. The Trophy Saga is pure science-fiction, not fantasy, written in the classic style. At the end of the book is a handy glossary that fills in many details about the setting.

Autorenporträt

"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 the daily exchange of witty 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 I became chilled to the bone in Montana, I moved to Florida. Now my wife Ellen and I live in Hollywood, FL, with our highly intelligent cats, thoroughly enjoying the sunshine and tropical breezes.

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