Synopsis
The Exploration Doomed by a dying star his planet orbits, Commander Jake Conley is given the mission to find a Goldilocks Planet. He and his crew of four pilot a reconnaissance ship, using Faster than Light Propulsion—20 times the speed of light. When Goldilocks is found, the society there lives by a completely different set of rules. Goldilocks Set on claiming Eminent Domain; they find a society, which has survived several world wars, is no push over. Hoping their six months endeavor is over; they find it has only begun. Will their reconnaissance vessel continue to protect them? The Doomed Planet Before their star morphs further and ends civilization as they know it; the World Relocation Coalition (WRC) prepares an evacuation of monumental proportions. Using FTL technology, they are building not only war ships, but also enormous luxury transports modeled from cruise ships and capable of transporting five thousand inhabitants each. For those not fortunate enough to get passage on a transport, enormous shelters are being constructed to shield them from their fate. Not all can go to the new world. The evacuees could be determined by health, age, and status. Who stays? Who goes? Will they force their way onto this blue planet? Will they be rejected?
About the Author
BIO:
My life has been unique by most standards. I was born on Halloween and delivered by a coroner (Dr David Baxter, Faulker County medical examiner 1968). They nicknamed me Thumper. To this day, most of my family and friends still call me Thumper.
At the age of five, I scored a ten-speed bicycle from my brothers. They couldn't get along and kept fighting over it. My mom gave it to me. I had to climb up on the edge of the front porch to get it started.
My family was quite large and we would cut wood during the winter to help supplement our income. I remember walking through subdivisions at the age of ten, alone, knocking on doors and asking if they would like to buy wood. I was Dad's top salesman. He would give us $5 if we sold a load.
In tenth grade, I lost my father to a horrible accident. He was literally ran over by a ready mix concrete truck.
In eleventh grade, at the age of eighteen, I purchased a new home and formed a rock and roll band. "Next Please" was the name of the band, and we played weekends and made a demo tape. I was offered two contracts, but they weren't quite what I wanted. I still hold the copyrights to several songs I wrote back during that time.
After graduating high school, I became a welder and went to trade school during the day for welding (paid training from my company) and college at night (Electrical).
I designed and built an adjustable concrete insert and patented it (pat #554 8 939 Utility Patent). I solely held full rights to the invention. I obtained a contract with a company named Meadow Steel in Santa Fe, (Tampa) Florida.
After I graduated college, I began to design machine controls. I have made my living doing this and industrial control repairs for the past twenty years. This line of work has allowed me to travel to Italy, Belgium, Holland, France, Canada, and various places all across the United States.
I married the woman of my dreams on January 1, 1991, and we have two daughters. We have been married ever since..
Sincerely,
NjbV
