Merry Christmas
To You And Yours
It is Christmas Eve. I hope you have finished your shopping and wrapping. Life can get very stressful for those waiting to the very last minute. Now that you have taken care of everyone else you may want to take care of yourself. January and February are just around the corner. That means two months of rain, cold, and snow. Don't let bad weather catch you with nothing to read. If you are a Sci-Fi fantasy lover I would like to invite you to read one of my books in the Unium series.

| Merry Christmas From Unium |
Pioneers On Unium begins with three friends rescuing a baby during a lake speedboat racing accident. In return one of the boat racers, who happens to be very rich, offered the young men an all-expense-paid vacation at his resort in Puerto Rico which they accepted. Greg Vancover, the books main character, leaves one week in advance of the other two rescuers because of previous commitments. Chapter One: The Lake
While flying through the Bermuda Triangle the passenger plane carrying one hundred thirty-four people on board is captured by a flying saucer. It turns out the alien’s home planet is being destroyed by a deadly virus and the space travelers are in the process of finding a new home. The aliens have three planets under consideration so they are in the process of collecting specimens throughout the universe and populating them for experimental purposes.

The passenger plane and occupants are transported to the planet Unium where they will be closely observed by the aliens, but not interfered with. The new pioneers then proceed to survive against the dangers of an unknown world, they very soon discover is not Earth. Rescue out of the question the new pioneers, over time, build a wooden palisade frontier styled fort to protect them from the local wildlife. Once the primitive village, which they named Fort America, was completed the settlers set up their own town government patterned after their USA homeland.

Like all societies no matter how hard one tries life is never perfect. Over time the new pioneers develop petty personal differences and as in any group of people, individuals make unwise decisions that ultimately come back to haunt them in a very unexpected way. The stories lead man, Greg Vancover, made an unwise but common decision.

| Sally Swift |
The young man chose to have a relationship with two women at the same time. Things quickly spin out of control and Greg’s poor decisions lead to unforeseeable trouble with the father of one of the girls who was very influential in Fort America’s decision-making. This trouble escalates into violence and Greg soon finds himself on the wrong side of the law. The young man is judged by his peers which eventually leads to his banishment from Fort America. Now comes the effort to survive all alone in an unknown savage land.

Book two of the Unium series, Exiled On Unium, takes up where book one, Pioneers On Unium, leaves off. Greg Vancover, the series lead character, has been found guilty of the forceable rape of Sally Swift, the fort’s nurse. After a failed hanging attempt, the young hunter’s death sentence was reduced to life banishment from Fort America, the name given to their new settlement. If the excommunicated criminal was caught within a day’s march of the young town, he was to be killed on site.

| Banished From Fort America |
Thanks to past service, the town council voted to provide the outcast with a light bark canoe, food, provisions, and weapons. Saying farewell to his closest friends, the exiled earthman paddled downstream through the grassy savanna into the shadowy forest miles away.
 |
| Trip Down River |
Continuing his way down the ever-broadening river, the cautious canoeist made his way to a locality no human had gone before. On his own, the isolated vagrant must find a way to safely feed himself, while at the same time protect himself from the savage denizens of the tempestuous forest. What would be his fate? To die from the sharp talons of a hungry predator? Would he live to see Laura and friends again? Or, would fate once again lead the wanderer in a direction he did not see coming?
Book three, Swordsman On Unium, is unpublished as of this writing but will be available this spring 2024. This Sword & Planet adventure is full of action, and excitement and is a fun adventure read. All three are available in eBook and large print Softcover.
