Excerpt from Jimmy's Dreams: Candice was awoken by Jimmy pulling on her arm and yelling for her to get up, “What’s going on!” “MOM, GET DRESSED NOW! GET DRESSED!” Candice pulled on a robe and slippers and Jimmy pulled on her arm. “JIMMY!” “COME ON MOM, WE DON’T HAVE MUCH LONGER!!” Candice saw terror in Jimmy’s eyes as he released her arm and ran out of the door to the apartment. “Jimmy, wait!” “COME ON!” Candice saw him run down the flight of stairs to the front door of the building and go outside. She ran after him as fast as she could and found him waiting for her outside the entrance. He grabbed her hand and pulled her with all his strength toward the end of the street. She stopped him and said, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Jimmy released her hand and ran as fast as his legs would carry him. “JIMMY, STOP!” She was forced to run after him and as they arrived at the end of the street, she heard a huge blast over her shoulder that caused her to stumble forward and as she felt heat on her back. She continued chasing Jimmy until he stopped two blocks away. She reached him and lifted him into her arms. She turned around and saw their apartment building and the two buildings next to it burning in huge flames that lept high into the nighttime sky. Her eyes were wide open as she watched the flames begin spreading into the surrounding buildings. She looked at Jimmy shaking in fear of what had just happened and said, “How did you know?” “I had a dream.” Let me know what you think by contacting me at saxonandrew@msn.com Find us on Facebook at saxonandrewsuniverse.

The Belt: Complete Trilogy


Gerald M. Kilby - 2018
    The ship contains an experimental quantum device, lost while en route to a research colony on Europa. On Earth, powerful corporate forces are moving to resume unrestricted, inter-AI communications, their objective being to gain complete dominion over the colonized solar system. But the outer worlds are mobilizing to prevent them from achieving their objective, a fight back which is being led by Solomon, a sentient quantum intelligence (QI), also on Europa. However, once word of the crew’s discovery gets out, they soon realize that ownership of this technology could fundamentally change the balance of power within the solar system, and they now find themselves at the very nexus of a system-wide conflict. Their fight for survival plays out across the solar system, from the mining outposts of the asteroid belt to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and from the great Martian city of Jezero to the irradiated wastelands on Earth. This is an epic tale of humanity’s struggle for survival and meaning in a time when artificial intelligence has finally out-paced our own ability to control it. About The Belt: The story is set a century or so into the future where humanity has colonized most of the inner solar system. The asteroid belt (The Belt) is now a hive of mining activity and ships ply the trade routes to Earth and Mars. The technology depicted, for the most part, is what I consider to be technically plausible, although I do stretch it a little with quantum entanglement. That said, you won’t need a calculator or a slide-rule to enjoy the story.

Dragon Team Seven


Toby Neighbors - 2019
    A century later—with the average human living three times longer than before First Contact—the Earth became overcrowded, and mankind found itself completely dependent on the technologically advanced aliens known as the Proxy 

Now, three hundred years after First Contact, the Earth is so overpopulated that governments have taken control of everything. The wealthy have all they can dream of, but for most people, life has become a grueling marathon of constant work for lifetimes that stretch over two centuries in length. When Nick Nichols and his friends—fresh out of high school—strike out into the work force, they quickly find the twelve-hour shifts, six days per week of hard labor unbearable. When their first paychecks reveal a mere pittance for their toil, the friends know that something must change. 

The Proxy Military Corps (PMC) is the only way to escape the crowded conditions on Earth. Every Space Marine who agrees to fight for the Proxy and completes their five-year enlistment period is given free transport to Elysium, a Goldilocks planet perfect for human colonization. But all reports of Elysium come solely from the aliens, who alone hold the key to interstellar travel. The Proxy jealously guard their technology—so without the aliens’ help, mankind is trapped in the solar system. While the only hope for a better life is by joining the PMC, enlistment carries its own hazards and uncertainties; no one who joins the PMC ever returns to Earth. Most people believe the promises of the PMC are all lies used to lure the gullible to their deaths. Elysium, they say, is just a fantasy—and fighting for the Proxy is seen as a betrayal of the human race. But for those brave enough to face the perils of the galaxy beyond our solar system, the PMC might just be their best chance for having a life worth living. 

Dragon Team Seven is the first book in a new military space opera by prolific author Toby Neighbors. Join Nick and his friends as they experience the trials and rewards of military life in space. With realistic characters navigating their way through a vast galaxy that you’re sure to find exciting, this action-packed novel promises to be a new favorite.
