The Brain Bank

A Science Fiction Novelette

You’re old. Almost eighty. No wonder that beautiful young lady rejected you. But you discover there is an option you can afford. It will take all your retirement savings and then some, but you can shave years away from your looks and your body. You can be a spry, energetic thirty-year-old again. Would you?

Jeffrey Corbin did.

With the help of the First American Brain Bank, Jeffrey emerges into the world young, virile, and handsome again. The young lady who rejected him now falls for him. Life is wonderful.

Or is it?

This beautiful young lady, Sheenah, comes with a group of questionable friends. Trouble begins to brew as those friends prove to be worse than he could ever have imagined. There is something horribly bad going on. Jeffrey wants out, but can he walk away? Can he save himself from falling into the rabbit hole of their evil plan?

Killing Rhinos

Jack Wheat and his horse, Killer, roam the planet Agrilot in search of Rhinos, monsters that burst from the ground and rip humans to shreds with their great serrated horns. Jack and his lady, Sheffie Jarrett, are lured to New Lisbon to help “solve” the growing Rhino problem.

Initially a prisoner planet, Agrilot has long since been abandoned by Earth. With virtually no technology, scientists and inventors are working to recreate a technological society from a raw world. But not everyone shares their goals.

Jack, framed and shamed, is forced to flee New Lisbon under cover of darkness. Then Crazy Mac, an old hermit living in a desert oasis, makes a discovery that changes everything. Agrilot holds more secrets, both above and below the planet’s surface, than anyone ever imagined, secrets that could cost Jack and Sheffie their lives.

Infall

What would you do if a naked alien materialized in front of you? Would you freeze, run away, scream, hit it, or try to communicate? And what would you think if you discovered the aliens are far more intelligent and vastly superior technologically? Are they friend or foe, saviors
or an invasive and dangerous species? How would you react?

The social, political, and economic order of Earth is put to the ultimate social test when millions of aliens materialize. Martin O’Brien leaves his native Ireland in search of love. In Atlanta, a very pregnant Jennifer Daniels struggles with her alcoholism. Lucas Taylor, a dishonored golf pro, lives as a hermit in the Outback. The aliens, who call themselves Embrians, disrupt all of their lives.

Infall is realistic science fiction set in today’s world, with events that could appear as Breaking News on our televisions at any moment.

The Crystal Shell

Innocence doesn’t matter. Joey has been framed and is destined for prison when the universe takes a detour. An alien named Fursdohr uses the power of The Crystal Shell to transport Joey to the planet Levari, where war is brewing between two alien species.

The hanori want the planet to themselves. The thimdalun want to survive. With both species still in the bow and arrow stage, the thimdalun city seems safe until a half million hanori warriors arrive.

The odds seem insurmountable. And Fursdohr drags Joey right into the middle of it.

Facing a painful death at almost every turn, Joey’s adventure makes prison on Earth look like a cakewalk. But life seems to take unscripted turns when you least expect them. A single event changes everything!

A War With God

After dying of cancer, Darren Foster finds himself alive and healthier than ever in the strangest place he has ever seen. He meets Liliana Nosek, a Polish girl who died during WWII.

As they explore their bizarre surroundings, they raise the ire of Theor, a highly advanced alien who claims to be their creator. When Theor threatens them, they escape into his layered pocket universe where they meet Ernest Hemmingway, Blackbeard, and others from Earth’s past.

Theor wants to kill the few hundred humans in his world as well as all eight billion souls still alive on Earth. When he demonstrates the ability to do so, it becomes a declaration of war. Can a handful of dead humans stop a vastly superior alien from destroying the entire human race?

A Bloody Wonderful War

Lewis Freeman had a problem. The treasure map passed down through generations, from slavery to modern day, showed his legendary ancestral fortune was buried in the dead center of the war zone.

Vince Masini had several problems. He struggled to keep a ragtag group of misfits together and out of the clutches of Nikki Christopoulos, war regulation enforcement, while
appearing to follow the orders of a blood and guts veteran commander. Could there have been a better way to cause chaos and mayhem than to go on a treasure hunt in the middle of the war zone?

With a decrepit old jeep named Beulah, they must dodge bombs and bullets – and sometimes each other – through 180 miles of African jungle. Will they make it alive? Or will
they die trying?
