     Breaking Interstellar: Cosmic Lives Matter

Join an adventure through time and space! Go with androids, humans and their alien friends, to find adventure and companionship in the cosmic realms of the imagination. There's more to deep-space than meets the eye! So, come along with the interstellar gang of misfits, as they explore their worlds, and the universe around them.Oberon Prime and Titania Alpha, are perfect android and human breeding grounds! Not too cold, not too hot, and the gravity is just right, even if a little weaker than here. Doctor Maxwell Sohn, of 'Sohn, Space Industries', found two planets with favorable conditions for human life to prosper. He made it his mission in life, to create a second chance for humanity to make things right. With earthlings destroying their biosphere, and impact threats from above, he knows time grows short for those on a once hospitable Earth. The welcome-mat growths thin.... Expansion and diversity off planet, is the only way to win! After creating an army of sentient androids, and getting enough of them to volunteer for a dangerous space adventure, his mission to the stars takes shape (book one: Android Lives Matter). He sends androids to the stars with biologic materials, and the necessary equipment to artificially grow humans. Nyla and Wilber Sohn, (Dr. Sohn's adopted android companions) become the proud parents of a bakers-dozen of human infants on a far off world. Nyla thinks of them as her dirty-dozen, who are always in need of a bath. And, for the most part, she's right. Even though she does her best! They grow like alien weeds! Providing great challenges for the two androids. Along the way, they meet with what earthling would consider extra-terrestrial life-forms. Some friendly .... some not so much! An alien headband obtained during a pirate raid on their spacecraft during the long flight to Oberon Prime, teaches the ways of advanced technologies. As desperate gray's, make peace with their own fate. A multi-verse of cosmic domains, and a slipstream running throughout, creates an endless source of adventure. Nyla and Wil, raise a brood of human children on an alien world, far from home. But, to the young humans, Oberon Prime and Titania Alpha are not strange planets at all! They are home! And, they wouldn't have it any other way!

    Their Bit

      Corbert Windage
     Their Bit

You're never too old for a curtain call... especially on the front lines.(A FEW SAMPLE CHAPTERS OF HAROLD FLEENOR'S NOVEL "THE VALOR ROAD" FOLLOWS)The controversial and somewhat eagerly anticipated Ender's Game was not the first and only story about a kid being recruited to save the Earth through a video game simulation. That privilege goes to the original and totally un-derivative film, The Last Starfighter. Since then, the premise has become somewhat tired due to overexposure, namely by the use of actual video game addicts to pilot drone fighters in recent times. A tired premise, indeed, until now, where the additional plot element of hamburgers makes the entire production much more appetizing. Can you wait to find out what hamburgers have to do with child recruitment into video game wars that turn out to be real? You can't.

Andrew Clements delivers the latest in his adventure-filled school series. This could be the last great Memorial Day weekend on Barclay Bay, and Ben knows it. This time next year, he might not be able to stand in the yard of the Oakes School and watch the harbor shake off winter—boats buzzing just beyond the bulkhead and families spreading picnics in the fields. If the school gets torn down and replaced by an amusement park, the town will never be the same. But that’s only if the school gets torn down. Ben and Jill are determined to keep that from happening. And the evil janitor Lyman has taken note. He’s following their every move—and undoing their progress along the way. Good thing Ben and Jill have a secret weapon. (Who knew that annoying Robert Gerritt would be such a spy wiz?) But Lyman has a secret weapon as well: a vicious guard dog. These kids are smart, but can they outsmart Lyman—and his beast—as the clock tick, tick, ticks toward total demolition?
