About this title

From the Author

THE RED ROVER is a cosmic tale about a group of sheltered teenagers, who have spent their entire lives in an unimaginative environment, a space community, having never encountered the blessings that life has to offer them beyond their immediate surroundings.

These intrepid young people are unexpectedly thrust into an excursion that reveals the splendors, along with the hazards that our grand universe can provide to wayward travelers.

This story, is not merely a fictional portrayal of heroic endeavors, but a metaphor to those of us who relish the unpredictability of life. Who understand that not everything we do can be taught and that some things are best experienced for the very first time without hindrance.

It has been said [possibly by me] that there remains an unquantifiable value to the person who is willing to embrace the unknown, as many of life's great surprises seem to take up residence in that very place.
