     The Golden Silence

Stephen Knight was very angry, though he meant to be kind and patient with Margot. Perhaps, after all, she had not given the interview to the newspaper reporter. It might be what she herself would call a "fake." But as for her coming to stop at a big, fashionable hotel like the Carlton, in the circumstances she could hardly have done anything in worse taste. He hated to think that she was capable of taking so false a step. He hated to think that it was exactly like her to take it. He hated to be obliged to call on her in the hotel; and he hated himself for hating it.

    Courage For Profit

      John Leader
     Courage For Profit

In the future the civilian population must hire private enforcers since governmental police has been terminated. These are the adventures of Peter Blunt,an enforcer for hire. Because of the high risk involved in his profession he is called a Space Warrior.(Hello and Thank You!) See Also: Space Warrior AD 60,400.111102 and Blood SkullsPrologue Peter Blunt policed for profit. Government control of policing lost out.Private business had overtaken and won the job of enforcing civil law. Contract work for law enforcers lasted six months, max. No job security, pension, or health care to argue about. The government, the protectors of the people, had given the job of policing and enforcing civil law to the civilian creeps, the profit makers. The old timers in the ranks saw it coming. Everyone, including union efforts fell flat. In his favor, Peter Blunt figured the corporations and company businesses did pay for all equipment and supplies needed for the job. The catch: live to collect; die, and you got squat. A crusty, dirty, business, dangerous for sure, but that’s why he selected assignment, those that provided the high risk pay. Most of the guys who started with Peter Blunt were dead. The long stretched corridor he cruised stood as a reminder of other enforcers gone before him. Some people preferred to call the policing or enforcing men space warriors. Laws changed from civilized planet to civilized planet. Maybe a desk job? Heart attack, ulcers, or stroke, they were no worse than a ripped throat from a sneak attack. No, Peter Blunt figured, death from direct weapons fire seemed a better way to travel. Peter Blunt stepped square, shrugged his shoulders, his facial expression clicked. He knew that human life follows its own cycle. Enforcement burned and boiled in his blood. He knew it and did it well. His name carried weight and his skills were prized in the wide open economic market and universe of profit and life.

     All That Sparkles is Not...

Let me take you on an adventure. You have a few hours to spare haven’t you? This story involves the magic of science; a scientific discovery, to be more precise. Let us see where this discovery will take us, certainly out of the hum drum of normal life. I can promise keen explorers, an alien planet, some aliens and adventure!CLEAN Rated Age 12+Still not convinced that this book is worth a download? It has been described by one of Steve's fans as "This is a book that I found I could not put down, I just had to know what was going to happen next. It is full of the magic of discovery, exploring an alien place with strange ideas, yet through it all the thread of an adventure, a goal to be achieved, yet frustration, after frustration stands in the path of those involved. Glad I read it. Although I mis the all characters now that I have come to the end."
