Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.39 mb
Overview: I've been writing since ... well, since before I could write. When I was a toddler, I used to draw squiggly lines on a sheet of paper and insist that I was writing something. Those epics have not been preserved. The desire and need to put words on paper have survived, however.
In spite of which, for a long time I dabbled in writing, fiddled around with it, started stories and didn't finish them. Then I stopped doing even that. Instead, I whined about my desire to be a writer. One day, after listening to me whine, my wife, Leonore, said, "So why don't you write?"
It was as though a light had gone on. Well, yeah, why didn't I write? So I finished some stories and managed to sell a couple of them, and then I finished a novel and sold it to a major publisher. I was a writer. (I'm leaving out the hard parts, but they're rather boring, really.)
Genre: Science Fiction
Central Heat
The disk, thin and gray, was undoubtedly alien. Scientists gathered on the moon to track its enigmatic course through space. But their fascination soon turned to horror...
FOR THE DISK PASSED BEFORE THE SUN AND BLOTTED IT OUT COMPLETELY.
On Earth a new ice age began. Billions perished in the bone chilling cold. The lucky few escaped underground - doomed to an airtight existence near the blazing heart of the world.
Now, far beneath the unnatural cold of a once-green world, Earth's last survivors plan to resurface. And when they do, they will reclaim a lost technological legacy... and prepare for the aliens' return.
Dawn Crescent
At the beginning of Desert Storm in 1991, things go terribly wrong. A secret organization that has infiltrated many Arab armies and governments emerges from hiding and inflames a broad and bloodily successful anti-Western uprising. American troops at the Battle of Khafji and throughout the Middle East are faced with a much bigger war than the one they had been sent to fight. What was supposed to be a safe war designed to ensure the reelection of George H. W. Bush turns into a disaster that destroys his presidency, puts Dan Quayle in the White House as the puppet of right-wing elements in the intelligence community, and imperils the West. The consequences are widespread and frequently grim: a resurgent Soviet Union, a seemingly endless war in the Middle East, and the growing threat of tyranny in America.
Written well before the events of September 11, 2001, Dawn Crescent depicts the interwoven lives and adventures of a diverse group of characters -- soldiers, spies, subversives, innocents -- in a turbulent alternate world which could be a warning for our own.
Pit Planet
James Benton is surprised at the role the mineral jacksonite has played in his life. He's not alone: Jacksonite has had an immense influence on everyone in the galaxy. It could be said that jacksonite has made the current galactic civilization possible. Now jacksonite has brought Benton to Colliery, the only world where the mineral is found, the headquarters of the immensely powerful and wealthy Jacksonite Corporation. He will know this world, and liberate it - and in the process liberate something deep within himself...
Ursus
Once, North Hill was the commercial and social center of Piketon, a growing city in the Rocky Mountains. Now it's a place of boarded-up stores and roaming gangs.
But even-deadlier predators have arrived . . .
URSUS
Local residents have been disappearing for weeks, and the city's political elite blame wild dogs. But a local zoologist suspects another cause--mutated bears, small in size but intelligent and immensely strong, that have come down from the mountains to hunt in packs.
