Cosmology and astronomy are in reality two distinct but frequently overlapping sciences. In gist, the astronomer looks through the telescope and manipulates the tools while the task of the cosmologist is to tell him what he sees.

In the late 1960's or early 1970's I led a group of teenagers in recording meteor radiants for the NASA lunar project. This was the same era when UFO's were all the rage and the gurus of the movement organized UFO get-togethers in a valley abutting Mt. Rainier. The goal was to unite their mental brain waves to tell the aliens there were friends awaiting them in the expectation of passing some sort of a test to see if they could be admitted as probationary members of the great galactic federation. So I asked myself what would happen if a battered, abused actual spaceship and an exhausted crew...

When QUIZZER set out on her epic journey some 18 years earlier she was manned by a crew of six. Returning was a crew of nine; three of them being their now teenaged children who were produced along the way. On their return the children were sent to a specialized school exclusively designed for children raised in unusual alien environments. Two of the six remaining were assigned to other duty and four were further separated with orders to go their individual ways and devote an entire year to studying Earth as if it were an alien world. They were not to contact one another but at the end of the...

The four QUIZZER personnel are assigned to complete the preparation of a seed asteroid capable of translating into the ylem with a complement of 50,000 crew and settlers and set forth on a journey which will take them completely across the galaxy on a journey which will require roughly 4,500 years of shipboard time before coming to an end some 80,000 light years from Earth. QUIZZER's people learn that the autodocs routinely placed in combat vessels are capable of being modified to rejuvenate humans to their point of optimum point of physical maturity when the replacement of dead cells is...

Reunited and retired to a private Eden topside of ARK ROYAL, QUIZZER's six people serve as proxies for a radically new computer which is so secret it is guarded by an automatic self-destruction system which will blow the Ark's antimatter bottle system if it is discovered. The computer is a myth and the real purpose of the fiction is to protect the actual masters of the Ark. It may have sounded so nice, six biological immortals safely hidden away from mortal eyes, but the reality is horribly different and the six experience a soul killing lethargy of boredom which increases by the day....

End of the line. ARK ROYAL reaches its Ultima Thule at the uttermost fringes of the galaxy some 180,000 light years distant from Earth. It has taken more than 4,500 years of ship's time to get there. But I am not out of a few added surprises. QUIZZER's crew works out a new strategy which bids fair to eliminating wars of conquest and extermination in space. Skirmishing may occur but massed assaults are certain to lead to ultimate disaster for the attackers. We also have a mystery to resolve and an amazon society which is quite different from anything ever postulated. The final denouement will...

BLURB The second of the three John Sixtyacre novels follows the platoon as it transforms itslf into a tribe and proceeds from Ahmarand to An Hui on the Amur River. As I began with Book I, I have sought to depict the conditions in this world of somewhere around 5,999 or 6,999 years ago as they actually were, with no Hollywood or TV hokum added to the mix.. Too much of modern fiction is constructed around 'stick' figures where the author throws them in merely to depict what he wants them to do. They never learn, never develop and invariably mirror the mind-set of the time and place of the...

The first of three novels detailing the adventures of a platoon of U.S. Army Rangers attached to the 2/81st Bn, on a U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Caucasus. Commanding the platoon is Lt, William Christenson together with his platoon sergeant, John Sixtyacre, a Yankton Sioux Indian. The unit is cast back in time 5,000, perhaps 6,000 years and shortly thereafter the men elect to make their way back to America, where they could perhaps start over and somehow make the future less painful than it was when they were sent out in the year 2088. As might be expected, it took time and confusion...
