The Simpleton QUEST

Mark Wayne McGinnis

Science Fiction / Space / Space Opera

The Simpleton Quest In book two of The Simpleton trilogy, the story of Cuddy Perkins continues. He’s no longer the same mocked, often tormented, Woodbury, Tennessee village idiot. In fact, he’s quite brilliant, trading his simple, country town existence for a life spent amongst the stars—voyaging on the spacecraft Evermore. Cuddy’s life mission? Help an alien race, called the Pashier, and the being called Tow—the alien who’d changed his life so dramatically only weeks before. Supported by his brother, Kyle—also Tony and Brian, and his childhood best friend, Jackie—the team of five must find a way to combat the vicious Howsh before Primara is annihilated. Undertaking one last-ditch mission, the team must uncover certain hidden truths concerning both the Pashier and the Howsh—two races far more connected than previously known. The answers they seek can only be found in the distant past—in the ancient vaults of Calirah. To venture there, they will go up against vile savage beasts, treachery, and a fleet of alien warships that might be unstoppable. Not everyone in the group will survive. Emotionally and physically spent, en route to their next Interstellar destination, someone new will need their help—someone both vulnerable and powerful.

"War is cruelty," General William Tecumseh Sherman famously asserted. "There is no use trying to reform it.

And he's in a terrible hurry as well; the Imperials are certain to strike again at any moment. Will David once again manage to make do with what he has instead of what he might wish for and somehow prevent a civil war and Royal catastrophe? Even if he has to face the entire Imperial Fleet along the way?

Ship Wrecked: Stranded on an alien world

Mark Wayne McGinnis

Science Fiction / Space / Space Opera

A wicked snowstorm had blown in from the north and the roads were a mess. Recently split from his one-time girlfriend, there was now nothing holding Cameron Decker here in the little backwater mountain town of Larksburg Stand. Time to get back to college, back to Stanford. Seeing a guy knee-deep in slush at the side of the road, he pulled to the curb and waived him over. The stranger smacked his head getting in—knocked his watch cap askew. Only then did Cameron notice—notice that the stranger couldn’t possibly be human. He decided to help his stranded passenger—a decision he’d soon come to regret. Along with his rust-bucket of a pickup truck, he was soon heading deep into space aboard an interstellar spacecraft. When the vessel is crash landing onto an alien world, he’ll have to contend with a murderous droid and a slew of strange alien life forms. But it is the forty-five-foot tall beast—a Minal Loth—that will impact is life the most. Marooned, Cameron must keep his wits to survive long enough to find a way to return home—back to that little mountain town, and the girl, who he should never have left in the first place.
