Why I wrote it!

Several ask the queston on why I wrote this series? The answer is found in my childhood when I used to read SiFi in class, hidden in my classroom book. I loved to read the adventures off in space and dreamed I was right there. I had so many favorte writers that I can not recall all their names so I don't want to mention any. If it occurred in space, I was reding it. I checked out the entire school library at the time dealing with science fiction. After I wrote A Stranger Comes Crawling, I went back to my Dystopia series and worked on that a little more to where I am at the end of the series with only Lightning Rages that remains to be finished and published in 2014, early.
Making a living and not having the qualifications to actually go into space, I still had the dream of doing so back in my mind. Since I was unable to do so myself, I wrote a story about a man going into space, this one! I didn't want to tool around taking several boring months or even years to get somewhere in our solar system. After finding a way for my character Neil Armstrong Andrews to get into space, I had him to contact and recruit what the mainstream scientists would call crackpots to come up with "out of the box thinking" so the ship could travel faster light. I added normal conflict in the story then added Aliens to the picture. All in all, it is an exciting journey in my mind that I believe you will enjoy. If you wish to take a look at it I provided some links for you!  Copies of the book can be bought on Kindle for ebooks and soon on other tablets after I publish with Smashwords in a couple of days.

Villains?

One of the species of villains created in this story are the Whoa`na. They believe every other species including humans are no more than skitsa or food for them. They never know who their parents are. Right after they are weaned, the move into buildings run by grown males that teach them that becoming food for the species is the greatest honor. There is no one that is old is left alive because when they reach a certain age or can no longer perform, they offer themselves up as skitsa. Females when they no longer can have children, automatically offer themselves up as skitsa.
Worthy males are given a female of child bearing capabilities until they become pregnant then the female goes to one of the female buildings to have their child. The father never knows if she had a boy or girl nor does he ever have contact with them again. There is no such thing as love or marriage. When the child is weaned, boy or girl the ruler,(Sa`ka) determines their fate in life. If the child is lucky, it is allowed to grow up normal becoming one of them. If the child is unlucky, the boys are castrated and made into fighting machines. The girls if allowed to grow up normal are kept in the women's buildings until such time as they become capable of bearing a child, then the Sa`ka gives them to a worthy male that has been allowed to grow up normal. If the female is unlucky, they remove all her reproductive organs except her breasts and she grows up a fighting machine as well. To prevent any problems developing with those selected to be fighting machines, male or female; Parts of their minds are surgically altered so they can only obey orders and have no free thought of their own. The normal Whoa`na are placed in charge of them having no such restrictions but they have been brainwashed since childhood that skitsa is the greatest honor.

Mixing Aliens and Humans

Putting Aliens with humans is not the best idea. Aliens have a different culture and values that humans wouldn't necessarily understand. The one thing that Captain Neil learned was their word of honor was good, better than some humans. Several humans did not trust the Aliens and thought the best place for them was out the airlock including the Commander Janice.
