Requirements: .ePUB .MOBI .AZW3 Reader | 4.9 MB
Overview: I was born into the age of manned space flight and watched as a small child when Man took their first steps on the moon. Of course I wanted to be an astronaut and at the time that meant joining the Air Force to become a pilot first. Back in those days, before the miracle of corrective eye surgery, one had to have perfect eyesight. I didn’t so my plans had to change. Instead I went to college and became an Aeronautical Engineer.
Genre: Science Fiction
Punishment: A Spaceman’s Story (#2) Returning to Earth to start on the alien’s little project, to help with the advancement of humankind, sounded like a good idea. Of course, I had no idea how I was supposed to accomplish this. Luckily my good friend Julie had a few ideas on that subject and as usual, she thought it best to surprise me.
While relaxing on the all-expense paid vacation at Gitmo, that Julie so graciously had arranged, I made some new friends and together we started New Future Technologies. We would use this company to slowly release new technology using the information given to us by our alien friends. Our alien friends didn’t believe in just handing over technology and the science behind it. They wanted us to learn and understand these technologies. That’s where I came in. I was given the knowledge I needed to help steer our scientists and engineers in the right direction by providing hints and suggestions.
The company became successful and we all were enjoying the benefits. It seemed like I had done a good job until all the old human weaknesses took over. We had all the major Earth governments working together but greed and jealousy still existed. New Future Technologies had become a large and powerful independent corporation with branches across the globe. That meant we had considerable political power and some governments found that threatening.
This was where my great plan fell apart and the trouble started. The fact that we also had a few illegal aliens working against us, which wasn’t in my original plan, things started to get out of control. In my defense, I just want to say I never thought I was the right person for the job in the first place.
Outcast: A Spaceman’s Story (#3) After a few years, well, 223 years to be more precise, but hey, who’s counting? Anyways, after a little time away my old friends sent for me to clean up their latest mess. I guess saving the world and the human race once wasn’t enough.
Once again, the human politicians and their military were getting their panties in a bunch for whatever reason, and now a simple world war wasn’t enough. They were looking at a solar war involving not just Earth, but all the human colonies in Earth’s solar system. Throw in a little outside alien interference, and all of a sudden it became my problem. I was still their emissary, and it was time for me to get back to work.
It goes without saying, I wasn’t really happy about any of this. I was having fun, well most of the time, out in the unaligned worlds in our galaxy. Sure, there probably wasn’t a politician in the universe who wanted me in their neighborhood, and I’d made a few more enemies over the years. Some had even tried to kill me, but that never worked out well for them. Like I could be that lucky!
With my search for the ultimate cheeseburger not going so well, and after being asked ever so nicely, I agreed to come out of retirement and help my old friends out. I knew it was a mistake, but stupid mistakes are my specialty. But, as long as I was in the neighborhood, I figured I might as well fix a few of the things in the universe that were bugging me as well. I’d deal with the consequences later.
Deja Vu: A Spaceman’s Story (#4) I’d had a few years since my visit to Taes to get used to my new life and family. Two wives and two daughters made life a lot more complicated than I’d imagined, but having my own custom-built starship sort of made up for that. I was expecting some retaliation from Julie, the head of the Bree council, for the last stunt I pulled, but for some reason she was being nice to me. That scared me more than anything. I could only assume she was taking a little time to plan her revenge properly. Of course, everyone else just thought I was being paranoid. Well, it had been proven in the past that I was usually right, so was I really paranoid? <br> Since I was first abducted by the aliens, I’d had an issue with reality. If I analyzed my current situation logically, it seemed that it was more likely that I’d had some sort of mental breakdown that day and all this space travel and alien nonsense was just that, nonsense. The only problem with that sort of thinking was it didn’t seem to make any difference. I mean, who is the crazy one? The person who doubts reality as they perceive it, or the one who simply accepts it? I found it just best to go with the flow. In the immortal words of the great twentieth-century philosopher George Costanza, “It’s not a lie… if you believe it.” If reality was a variable and not a constant, so be it. That’s why God invented alcohol. <br> So, I had decided to simply accept the current reality I found myself in. I had resisted the Collective’s attempt to get us more involved in the happenings of the unaligned worlds, but as time passed, it was obvious that my resistance was futile. When friends on these worlds asked for our assistance, it just wasn’t in our nature to refuse them. This of course made me and all the other members of the Ranger teams even bigger targets for our adversaries in the region. We had become the Collective’s de facto galactic police force whether we wanted to be or not. Julie was offering us all sorts of help since this was a bigger task than we were prepared for. Her help just made me that much more paranoid, and as paranoid as I was, I never saw it coming.
