Book Cover & Preview Text
I am totally confused. I do not know what has happened. The universe that I live in (and beyond), has all ganged up on me to make Me look bad, guilty of many things. I am supposed to be deported to Elgin 6 tomorrow morning. As far as I know, I have only tried to save life by providing food for hungry people, and protect the peoples of all planets to the best of my ability. My name is Telli. I am of the family of Thor. My parents are of decent standing in the rights of the father of this planet and the entire universe. Father is the lord, The God almighty. The belief of this name has been handed down through the generations along with a book. It is called the good book by all that believe. We are from the planet called "Water", such as I have been taught to call it. In earlier times it was called "Earth", which is overly crowded with all the people that are trying their damnedest to get ahead. "Get ahead of what?" "Who knows?" "To grow old and suffer?" "If we have food and a place to live and friends, we should be happy. But it does not always work that way." "No one knows what life will bring to them." I am the sixth child to be born to my parents. My older brother has already been terminated for not following the rules. He was one of the celebrated starduster pilots who did not find the rules good enough to obey. He flew out of our airspace without permission. The government blew up the ship in an attempt to avoid a conflict with a neighboring planet. That is the way our government works in this day. One ship and crew are dispensable to attempt to keep peace. Elgin 6 is one of the prisons for the prisoners of the government. The very worst prison that the government has to offer, give, or assign. It is reported that this is the worst thing that the government can do to anyone. The persons that have been sent there and returned, which is few, are not the same. They say that it is an extremely horrible place. I worked for the government for about 10 years, two of them being in special training for espionage against other places. The others were in general military actions that my government assigned. It is hard to believe that I started out as a food distribution expert. I am surprised that I am not fat, but then we are talking about military food. It is a long journey to this desolate planet.

About the Book
This is an excellent book about the battles and travels of a young military person. The battles are very unique and different in a special way. The young military person is fighting machines, machines that he has personally helped develop. Even though he was commissioned to do so by his own government, he goes to prison for developing them. His commanding officer, Nimrod, is the person that should be going to prison, but he is a star witness against the young man in court. The young man vows to get revenge in the end, and he does. His commanding officer was a liar, and he never forgets it. While he is on a different planet, he is ordered to terminate his commanding officer by the president of his world. He finds that the planet he is on has some strange death penalties and procedures, but abides by them to the end, so far as personally cutting out his commanding officers heart. After all the bad that he has been through, he and his crew continue to do right by helping to feed starving planets. He travels the galaxies trying to help feed and develop the planets. He and his crew work hard to help make the newly discovered planets capable of feeding themselves.
