Bill was a member of a motorcycle club called Assassins Of Youth. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one,)
Unlike his two other friends, Bill had a reputation. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
Bill rode a Harley-Davidson Sportster and besides motorcycles and a good time, nothing much else mattered to him. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)

Wild Bill

Birds

The explorers had discovered most birds on Unium had mouths like a cat or dog, instead of beaklike earth birds. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Indications hinted that there were not enough insects to support the bird family. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Most species of birds looked fierce, but as yet none had ever attacked an earthling. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The carnivorous fliers mostly fed on small creatures or leftovers from something else's kill. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.

Birds

Dagma

The unusual beast reminded Will of a deer, but it had bull horns instead of antlers. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
This deer also was more stalky and muscular than its sleek and graceful Earth cousin. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
The Earth deer mainly depended on its speed for its primary defense, where this creature looked built for an offense if need be. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
The already retreating deer fled at the speed of a freight train. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Spear-like horns. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)

Destra

The beast was definitely of the cat family, but no earth cat resembled this exceptional fury. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The feline stood on all fours and was approximately four feet high. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Its movements were quick and graceful. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The huge cat was covered with a short grayish coat, making its green eyes glow. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
For weapons, the monstrosity had long extruding fangs and powerful paws with sharp talons. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Even in this dangerous situation, there were two unique things Greg noticed about the hulk. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
It had round almost human ears and an erect bird-dog-like tail. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The mighty thawed monster issued a warning roar upon detecting the retreat, but it did not charge. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
As the humans retreated, the ferocious cat cautiously edged forward, always keeping about the same distance between them. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Pitiless aggressor. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Ear-shattering roar. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The three hundred sixty pounds of muscle and destruction bore down upon the meal that was attempting to escape. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The fanged horror took its final bound, and powerful hind legs launched formidable claws and teeth. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
And sharp fangs snapped the tiny shafts. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten,)
Blindly, the carnivore's momentum carried it onto Greg's waiting spear. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The giant cat, to everyone's fortune, turned out to be already dead. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)

Destra

Doctor Swift

Had a hard-looking face. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
The heavyset man carried a lot of weight but was not fat. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
He was built more like a lumberjack, or steelworker. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
His face looked hard, but it did not look cruel. It was more like a sea captain, or an army drill sergeant. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)

Fo-lar

The plant was similar to a rosebush and consisted of fifty to sixty different branches, all joining on a thick stalk set close to the ground. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Each tentacle-like branch had sharp briars on them, just like a rosebush but much longer. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The planet was a glossy jet black, and at the end of each branch was a beautiful blue flower. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven,)
Although these blue flowers were beautiful in their own right, they were nothing to compare to the fantastic red one located where the branches joined the stalk. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The thorny branches were located in such a position as to make it difficult to get to the red delight without getting pricked. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
When the rescuers tried to untangle the entrapped man branches lashed out at them, but all escaped successfully. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Upon penetration, the plant's branches waved madly. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The plant's limbs encircled the flaming spear and cast it aside. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The branches swayed back and forth like serpents waiting for a target to come within reach. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)

Fo-lar

Fort America

Fort America was the name chosen by the new pioneers for the future compound. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter five.)
So far they had erected a western-styled fort complete except for a hospital, church, and men's dorm. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Once the women's dorm was completed, work started on Greg's and Laura's cabin, (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The river flowing through the center of the fort was widened and deepened so that now canoe travel from the fort downstream was possible. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
John Lockard, the engineer, designed a special gate to block passage into Fort America from the river. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)

Fort America

John Lockard, an engineer, was chosen to lead the construction of a wooden pole fort. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter five.)
They chose twenty married men to help build Fort America. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter five.)
Their first task was to build a huge cart using the plane's wheels to transport logs from the forest to the camp. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter five.)

The well-developed youth had long chestnut brown hair and an above-average handsome face with green eyes. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
Being quite a sports person, Greg enjoyed doing a lot of different exercises to keep his body in tip-top shape. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
His regulars were weightlifting three times a week, jogging one mile every day before breakfast when the weather permitted, calisthenics, and many stretch exercises. (Pioneers On Unum, chapter one.)
He loved sports such as football, tennis, and swimming, although he was on no kind of athletic team. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
Overall Greg was a very well-developed man, especially for his body size, and few except a professional athlete could have competed against him. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
Even though he was a very active weightlifter, the long-haired youth looked more like an Olympic gymnast than a bodybuilder. (Pioneers Om Unium, chapter one.)
Instead of being overly muscled and bulky, he was lean and each muscle seemed exercised just to a point where it brought out the best definition. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
Although the young man worked hard to develop strength, his primary objective was to develop grace, flexibility, and speed. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
Mountain town where the boys were from. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
It was not long after that incident the three began taking karate lessons and working out with weights. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)

A Mula attacked Greg on a hunting trip and received severe lower arm scratches. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter six.)
Greg's cat wounds had healed enough so he could return to hunting. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter seven,)

Greg finds out he is going to be a father. "Dr. Swift said I was two months along." (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The faint-hearted girl was too afraid to imagine she was impregnated by Nun-to, the ape-man, so panicky she implicated her ex-lover, Greg Vancover. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Sally accused Greg of forcing her into having sex with her. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The accused, Greg Vancover, was a long-haired, pot-smoking, pill-popping hippie. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter twelve.)
He was only moderately educated, graduating from high school, and more than likely at the bottom of his class to boot. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter twelve.)
His greatest asset was hunting. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter twelve.)
He brought in more meat than anyone except Will. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter twelve.)
Greg was found guilty of raping Sally Swift and was expelled from Fort America. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter twelve.)

A savage scream threatened to destroy their eardrums. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four,)
They were totally surprised to see a small animal about the size of a large house cat. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
The cat was yellow with black markings. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four)
On noiseless padded feet, the feline approached with its green eyes glaring. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Again the cat screamed its ear-shattering roar that would put a panther to shame. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)

Nancy had at one time dated a member of a motorcycle gang, experimented with drugs, and wore miniskirts. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
It was Nancy's influence that caused the boys to also experiment with drugs, start growing long hair, and abandon their teen bands for the much harder rock "n" roll. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)
Being from the West Coast, Nancy was about five years ahead of the people that lived in the mountain town where the boys were from. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter one.)

Neracttular Cloud

The Jaunto name was given to the time warp used for Tomas' accelerated space flight to Earth. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
It has habits very similar to those of clouds, which is movement. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Every planet has one, and often more depending on the sphere's size. (Pioneers On Unium. chapter three.)

Neracttular Cloud

Nun-to The Beast Man

It's a footprint. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter nine.)
Sure enough, the impression was a footprint and a very huge one. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter nine.)
Whatever made this imprint weighs between four hundred fifty to five hundred pounds. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter nine.)
They are not necessarily human prints, but they definitely have human-like feet. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter nine.)
I would guess according to its weight and foot size, the visitor stands about seven to eight feet high. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter nine.)
The big-footed giant. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter nine.)
Nun-to kidnaps Sally Swift. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
A man, an ape, a creature of some kind, he excitedly stammered. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
It was big, standing about eight feet and weighing approximately four hundred pounds. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Its body was covered with greenish, yellowish-looking hair, and it walked upright like a man. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Its face looked like a prehistoric man's, but it definitely looked human-like. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Its face, hands, and feet were hairless, and it carried no weapons except its teeth and strength. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Once the ape-man reached the forest, tracking would be much more difficult, if at all possible. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Even at that moment, the hairy brute was trying to pin the still-struggling blonde to the ground. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Instead, using the spear as a lance, the apprehensive hunter ran forward and jabbed the giant man-ling in the back. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Screaming out in pain and rage, the gorilla man wheeled to meet his foe. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
"Run Sally!" cried Greg as the hairy being rushed him. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
It surprised Greg the spear wound had not hurt the big-foot creature any more than it had. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The giant beast man closed quarters with the hunter, and the youth thrust his spear at the creature's belly. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Dancing just out of the brute's reach, the two fought silently. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The long-haired youth began taunting the gorilla man, of course not expecting the brute to understand, but he would try anything to soothe the rising fear that was rapidly building inside him. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.).
The effect of hearing the beast speak English numbed Greg's sense of reality. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
A fraction of a second was all the gorilla man needed. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The big-foot creature advanced. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten) It took hardly no time for the four-hundred-fifty-pound brute to catch up to the fleeing girl. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The man-ape, like a gorilla, had small sex organs for its body size, but he still made the girl cry out in pain. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
Finally, the gorilla man finished his sinful deed and pulled Sally to her feet by the hair of her head. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
The savage man-ape screamed out in pain, but he did not fall. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)
With death gleaming in his merciless eyes, the seven-foot-six-inch monster charged the much smaller human. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter ten.)

Nun-to

Oker

The first animal spotted by the Starworth plane passengers was a bird-like flying creature. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
The strange creature had wings and feathers like birds, but that was about all they had in common. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Its feathers were a bright yellow with specks of black in different areas. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
The strangest thing about the bird was it had easily visible ears, and instead of a beak, it had a long nose and a mouth like a dog. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
The creature had two rolls of sharp teeth and a pointed tongue, which was visible when it chirped. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
When the feather-covered beast chirped, it sounded more like a music box instead of a bird call. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
To complete the creature's bizarre appearance were flaming red eyes, and instead of regular bird feet, it had feet like those of a monkey. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)'

Lately, Sally Swift had been feeling pretty bad during the early morning hours. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The blond beauty was late having her period and contributed this to being partly to blame. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The young girl did not fear pregnancy, however, for she had not had sex with anyone since Greg, and that was months ago. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven,)
True, the ape-man had raped her, but Sally knew an animal could not have a human pregnancy. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Thinking her problem was some sort of infection, or worse, the young nurse asked her father to give her a physical. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
It startled both when the test revealed she was pregnant. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
The faint-hearted girl was too afraid to imagine she was impregnated by Nun-to, the ape-man, so panicky she implicated her ex-lover, Greg Vancover. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Sally accused Greg of forcing her into having sex with her. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)

The unearthly beast's cattish head supported a fishlike mouth with snake fangs. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eight.)
Its Spock-styled ears were all but unnoticed once contact was made with its sinister green eyes. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eight.)
The bright orbs seemed to hold one in a trance. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eight.)

That is until it changed into a snake midway through the stomach. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eight.)
The creature did not have humanistic arms, for they seemed half hair and half scales. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eight.)
Instead of hands, there were two big pinchers, much like a crab. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eight.)

Received a severe head wound while serving in Viet Nam. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
The panic attack on the plane was the second violent incident for Stanley since his actual wounding in the war. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)

Carrying one hundred thirty-four passengers. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter five.)

Starworth Airlines

Tanjar

One of three planets, the people of the dying planet Jaunto, were considering moving their population too. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Approximately four times larger than the earth's sun. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)

Tanjar

Tomos

Definitely not of the same race as the creatures that appeared on the plane and took them captive. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
From a visual viewpoint, this fellow seemed as human as his captives. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
The visitor had an average size build, close-cut blonde hair, and blue eyes. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)

Took archery in high school. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter six.)

Tony Gentry

Unium

One of three planets, the people of the dying planet Jaunto, were considering moving their population too. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Approximately four times larger than the Earth's sun. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
When the people from the planet Jaunto discovered the planet Unium, it was completely lifeless. (Pioneers On Unium chapter three.)
Jaunto scientists over time created an atmosphere using transported water and other factors. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Jaunto scientists/astronauts traveled throughout space collecting unique specimens of life, both plant, and animal, and transported them to Unium. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Each collected life form carefully went through a germ-killing process before being placed on Unium. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Thanks to the degerming of collected specimens before their transplanting to Unium the planet host very little disease. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Jaunto scientist keeps constant surveillance and monitors the transplanted specimen's progress. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Jaunto scientist does not interfere in Unium's daily life. They simply observe and record the results. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Unium is the planet the Starworth plane and passengers were transported to. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.
Upon arriving on Unium, the Starworth plane passengers were greeted with pitch-black darkness. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Shortly after, the darkness disappeared as a large moon climbed into the sky so fast one could almost see it move. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
After the moon's appearance, stars and planets became visible in the sky and formed unearthly beautiful constellations. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
There were also other lights, which Greg could not put into the category of stars or planets, so he figured them to be some kind of gasses. They had unusual shapes like unsolid objects and appeared very much like colored clouds. The heavens were so dotted with different colored shapes it reminded the young man of a Christmas tree. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
As the heavens come alive with night lights, the Starworth plane passengers could easily see the surroundings outside the plane. The airplane was sitting on a sea of tall grass, and in the dark distance, they could make out towering trees or mountains. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
A few hours later, the moon fell behind the opposite horizon. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
The moon traveled so fast from one horizon to the other it only lasted for about half an earth night. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Instead of the sun coming up another moon rose into the sky from the same direction as the previous one. (Pioneers On Unium, three.)
Like its sister, the second moon offered plenty of light, followed on the same route at approximately the same speed, and disappeared in the same place. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
After the moon disappeared, the pitch black again returned. All the stars and constellations disappeared as if someone switched off a house light. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
The pitch-black lasted another two hours, then the sun rose. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Last night we saw two moons and strange constellations in the sky. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)

Unium

Will Rogers

The professional hunter's name was Will Rogers, and he was originally from Atlanta, Georgia. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
He had hunted and killed almost every big game animal the earth offered. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
From his vast experience, the outdoorsman knew how to survive in almost any climate whether it was the frozen lands of Alaska and Canada or the tropics of Africa or South America. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
After Duke had talked to the hunter, he made Will headman of all hunting and scouting expeditions. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Shortly after Will's birth, his parents left Atlanta and went to the west coast of Africa where they worked as missionaries. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
For ten years the American missionaries lived among the more coastal villages, and little Will grew up much as the primitive savages did. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
He ate, slept, played, and learned with them. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Will's father taught the tribe about Jesus Christ and their children how to read and write. In return, they taught Will the use of a bow, spear, and knife. (Pioneers on Unium, chapter four.)
Will was taught tracking by the tribe's best hunters and learned nature's law of the jungle. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
When Will was nine years old, he took the test to become a warrior with four other boys. The test was to either kill a lion or a panther and bring its hide back to the village as proof. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
For one year Will was a warrior among the coastal villages. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
When Will was ten, he and his parents returned to Atlanta, Georgia. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
After his return to America, Will was enrolled in school and after attending college he returned to Africa and became a big game hunter and guide. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Will had many expeditions into the interior and became well-known throughout the dark continent. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Soon Will's fame spread outside of Africa and scientists hired the hunter/guide to go on a South American expedition. That expedition made Will world-famous as a guide, and it landed him many jobs in the future. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
After finishing up an adventure, Will returned to Atlanta to visit relatives, and family members talked him into taking a vacation to Puerto Rico. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Master hunter. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Professional hunter. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Will had the skill to through a rock hard enough and straight enough to kill birds. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Duke put Will Rogers in charge of the hunting and scouting division. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter five.)
To a man that could track a cat across rocky ground, however, it was like following the Appalachian Trail. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eight.)
Accompanied Duke Powell, and four others, on a canoe trip in search of humans. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)
Will, the most experienced riverman, rode in the front. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter eleven.)

Will Rogers

William Sims

Duke put the retired Captain William Sims, age sixty, in charge of all military organizations. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
They made his army up of every single man that had served in the armed forces, fourteen in all. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)
Their job mainly comprised guarding at night, guarding lumberjacks to the forest and back and every other work detail, acting as public safety, and so on. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter four.)

Captain William Siems

Zabar

A large black spider with red dots on its back. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter seven.)

Zabar

Zankas

They appeared to be a cross between a man and an animal. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
Very similar to the description some have given the abominable snowman. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
The creatures stood a good seven feet high, had broad shoulders, and a powerfully built frame.(Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
The unearthly beings wore only a loincloth, and the rest of their body was covered with short bristly hair. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
Their face, hands, and feet, however, had no hair, and the flesh was a deep tannish color. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
Unlike an animal, their facial features seemed to show signs of intelligence, but not as much as a human's. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
In the creature's mouth lay two rolls of sharp teeth, which reminded Greg of a cannibal. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
The unearthly beings had greenish glowing colored eyes, and a broad flat nose all set in between two pointed ears. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
Man-like beast. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
At no time had he heard the creature attempt to communicate with one another by voice, nor had he seen them use hand signals. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter two.)
Hairy man-like beings. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three)
The hairy man-like beast did not move its mouth, nor did Greg hear anything through his ears. Instead, he heard the sentence through his mind as if it were thought. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.
His giant bulk. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Zenkas is very much like the anthropoids of Earth. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Zenkas are not as intelligent as humans as far as thinking for themselves goes, but we can train them to do anything a human can. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Zenkas have the strength of the earth's gorilla. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Because of poor reasoning skills, Zenkas are not considered dangerous foes. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.
The hairy men are a long time domesticated animal servants to the people of Jaunto. Much like a relationship between a dog and a human. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)
Zenkas and the people of Jaunto can communicate with each other through telepathy should they choose. (Pioneers On Unium, chapter three.)

Zenka
