The seven billion people of the Clarke Belt Cities are desperately seeking ways to return to their homes on the ground, after being stranded in Geostationary Earth Orbit by the cutting down of their centrifugally-supported space escalator by which they had temporarily migrated to cities built up there, to live in while the Earth’s ecosystem was being cleansed and jump-started back to a long-term viable condition again. Now, how can they get back down? “It’s Down To Earth” is a science fiction novel in a series by Jim Cline about efforts to rejuvenate the planet by gaining high efficiency electrical lift access to high earth orbital space resources of constant solar energy, total recycling of toxic materials, high level rocket launch facilities, and plenty of room to live; all made possible by building various space access hoop structures electro-dynamically supported by kinetic energy stored circulating within themselves.

Dear Vacation Rental Owner,
have you forgotten why you ever started with vacation rentals? Is all getting you down? You imagined interesting guests and a healthy second income. You’ve got endless chores and piles of bills.
Momentum is a cruel fact of life. When people do well, they are buoyed by their own success, and go on to greater achievements. When things go wrong, they seem to keep going wrong relentlessly. Eventually, the knocks can wear you down. You lose your spark, everything is a drag. You’re certainly not projecting holiday spirit to your guests!
You can escape from the cycle. To start with you need to ‘step outside of yourself’. Take an objective look at the situation. If you’ve got enough awareness to recognise you have a problem, then you’ve just taken the first step to making things better.
Use external resources to help give you clarity on where you might be going wrong. A book like “100 Tips For Successful Renting” will give you lots of good ideas, without overwhelming you.
Start taking a regular afternoon coffee break with your “100 Tips For Successful Renting” book. It’s never wasted time to let your mind relax and become more open to the bigger picture.
Take three sheets of paper. Write one of your goals in a bubble in the centre of each sheet. Every time you come across a tip or an idea that would help to achieve you goal, write it on the piece of paper like a spider diagram. Don’t be afraid of writing in your own ideas, drawing lines to link ideas together even putting in some color. You’ll amaze yourself with your own creativity - and very soon you’ll have drawn your own route map out of your rut.
Don’t try to fix everything at once. With all your ideas on paper, pick one or two that you think would make the most difference. Then book some regular time in your diary to make it happen. 15 minutes every day is perfect. 12 hours straight once a year is not so good.
Keep your book by your bedside, and your diagram prominently displayed. Keep your eye firmly on the goal. Become defined by your dreams, not by your chores
Wish you successful renting!
Sincerely yours
Milan Matchev

I don’t expect you to believe this story, but it is the truth. My name is Alexander Ashton….
Mysteriously Transported to the artificial world of Ecos, Earth man Alexander Ashton struggles to understand the society of his new friends, the humanoid Amatharians. As he does so, he finds himself falling in love with their princess and being thrust into a millennium-long war with their mortal foes the reptilian Zoasians. As Alexander crosses the endless landscape of a fantastic hollow world to rescue the woman he loves but does not know, he encounters alien life forms and strange cultures, bizarre monsters and ancient ruins that point to the mystery of the artificial world.
She drew her long sword and I followed suit. We nodded respectfully to one another. Then with a skill and speed born of battle, Vena Remontar charged at me, bringing her blade down directly toward my face. I raised my own to block the stroke, and just as quickly she swung two more blows. The only thing I could do was take the offensive, so as I blocked the third blow, I swung my weapon on around in a great arc toward her side. The woman was off balance from her attack, so the only way she could block the arc of weapon, was to turn her back on me, and swing her blade outward to meet mine. I expected that this would offer me a chance to attack her back, but it didn’t. As soon as she had done so, she tucked and rolled forward, spinning as she rose to face me. This was a brilliant maneuver and would have put several yards between us, but I wasn’t ready to let up. Using my gravity-enhanced strength, I jumped forward, almost landing on top of her. Vena Remontar thrust quickly several times. I blocked those attacks and countered.
Princess of Amathar is a sword-swinging novel of high adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Joe Tompkins was having a bad day at the office: boring meetings, pointless assignments, and this feeling that he was being watched. When he could take no more, he did what anyone would do. He knocked out his co-worker with a keyboard and escaped. From cube-dwelling author Josh McMains comes a dark comedy that brings conspiracy back to corporate America. Uncubicled follows the drastic series of events that would take one man from his mid-level desk job to an elaborate getaway from the long arm of the law-and perhaps something even more sinister. Along the way, Joe crosses paths with former friends whose destinies have been intertwined from the start. Joe encounters mystery, adventure, and car trouble as he struggles to find out what he was always meant to do and who, exactly, wants him dead. And you thought your job sucked.
It took a chapter or two to familiarize myself with the authors writing style, but after that was accomplished, this book was fantastic. There are many plot twists and turns that keep you intrigued the entire book. This is not meant to be a life changing book, but is perfect for a little time away from everything so you can really be entertained. If you are thinking about purchasing Uncubicled for the Kindle, it is money WELL spent. Kudos to Mr. McMains on a well written book….I am looking forward to the sequel.
By VarangianGuard, Amazon.com
No, “Techno Thriller” isn’t the only category in which you can file Josh McMains’ novel Uncubicled, but it’s fairly accurate. The initial information I first received lead me to believe it would be more focused on the Office Worker life. It’s true that it starts off that way, and, for me, it was the the initial hook that helped me relate to the characters and situations. From there, though, it became a wild ride of plot twists, high-tech espionage, and enough edge-of-your-seat storylines to keep you saying “Ok, one more chapter, THEN I’ll go to sleep.”
For a debut novel, I’ve gotta say that this is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. There is a fantastic balance of dialogue mixed with rich and description from the third-person narrative. On it’s surface, you easily become invested in the characters and there is enough action to keep even the most casual reader interested. Dig deeper, though, and you’ll really uncover some fantastic and complex twists, turns, and cloak and dagger situations.
Did you ever watch the movie The Usual Suspects — and at the end thing “Holy Crap! That’s awesome — now I have to rewind the movie and watch it again!” That’s very much how I felt after reading Uncubicled.
If you’re Dilbert-style Cube Dweller, and you’re hoping that there is something greater going on, you just may be right. Let’s just remain happy that this is a book of fiction…or is it? Let’s hope so.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Eaglethorpe Buxton, famed world traveler and story-teller. Of course you have heard of me, for my tales of the great heroes and their adventures have been repeated far and wide across the land. In truth I am probably better known in any case as an adventurer in my own right than as a teller of the adventures of others. From storied Aerithraine, where I once had the pleasure of spending a fortnight in the company of the Queen, to distant Holland, I have wondered the world being a friend to those in need of a friend, a protector to those in need of a protector, and a guardian to those in need of a guardian.
Eaglethorpe Buxton is a fool and a hack. You couldn’t find a writer of less wit and style.
- Dextius Winterborn, Story-teller’s Guild.
Without a doubt, the biggest liar that ever walked the world.

Join Eaglethorpe Buxton as he adventures across a magical world to help… a poor orphan child? An elven princess? Who can know for sure, when it is Eaglethorpe himself who tells the tale?

For 16 year-old Woody Elmont, life in rural Georgia is a tolerable routine of caring for his aging Aunt Zee and minding his developmentally disabled younger brother, Tick. But when Tick disappears from a nearby home for troubled youth, Woody sets off on a grand and improbable adventure to know the truth of his brother’s fate. Risking his life for duty’s sake, Woody discovers far more truth than he bargained for.
Calling Out Your Name is a headlong rush through characters and events both intriguing and menacing - a coming-of-age journey that is by turns inspiring and starkly compelling.
“Ned White has created a memorable hero…(and) a wonderful, adventurous coming-of-age story that takes the Georgia teenager on a daring journey from Macon to Malibu and from adolescence to maturity.”
- Don O’Briant, former book editor for Atlanta Journal Constitution
“The heart of the main character remains true throughout the book no matter what name he is using. Life lessons, coping strategies and people skills develop as the young man travels across the country. Description and narrative blend seamlessly to create a book that is readable, informative and entertaining. With such vibrant detail, it is easy to imagine this book becoming the basis for a movie with broad appeal.”

The newest novel set in the Star Rigger Universe, ETERNITY’S END features the search for the legendary ghost rigger ship Impris and her crew, whose fate is entwined with interstellar piracy, quantum defects in spacetime, galactic coverup conspiracies, and deep-cyber romance.
“It’s onward with [a] one-man Light Brigade, straight into the jaws of doom and destiny. He finds true love, cognitive dissonance, divisions among the enemy, ambitious schemes, another mission–this one deeper than anyone has ever gone before into the substrata of the Flux–and a final resolution that leaves the reader both breathless and satisfied.” –Analog
“A galactic epic that’s much more than space opera, filled with both drama and bold ideas. Who would have thought a futuristic pirate story could be so original and smart?” –David Brin, author of The Uplift War
I was pulled into *Eternity’s End* by the notion of a Flying Dutchman spaceship, and found so much more than I expected. I just loved this book. The Flux and the Flux interface fascinate me. Carver pulls off the admirable feat of making something illusory, subjective, and “virtual” feel utterly real and yet profoundly unknowable–he vividly describes what is essentially indescribable. The frisson of the unknown grows persistently more eerie the deeper the characters go. I loved the Narseil, and the process of getting to know them through Legroeder’s eyes (and especially the mild estrangement from human culture that I felt at one point, making me realize how immersed we’d gotten in Narseil culture). I enjoyed the heck out of the pirates and the cyber enhancements. The opening chase scene is only the beginning of a wild roller-coaster ride–you get a breath to look around now and then and ponder some intriguing new information, and then the author throws the next twist at you and you’re off again. There are “silent running” scenes with all the tense appeal of the best submarine adventures, and exhilarating dogfights, and character interactions fraught with intense and complex psychology. This is topnotch space adventure and an edge-of-your-seat thriller, but it works on many deeper levels, too. I am dying to read a sequel. Please write one, Jeffrey Carver!
