Casserine

Casserine takes the reader on a futuristic journey with a conservative bent. Duty and honor, in this Sci-Fi adventure, infuses the tale from beginning to end. If you love it when political correctness takes a hit, and touchy feely space operas bore you, Casserine will take you where you want to go. This nonstop rush across space, from one battlefield to another, illustrates a far different handling of Alien cultures. A nearly superhuman Marine finds love in a most unusual way, and when duty rips him from her, he uses any means necessary, within his code of honor, to return to their small universe. Chosen to lead the most powerful space force ever assembled, because of a fluke mixing of DNA with an Alien monster, Jake Matthews spares no entity standing in the way of his mission. He vows to forge an unbeatable engine of destruction, powerful enough to force peace across eternal space. Casserine provides a wild ride for a reader who wishes to see a vista of future America, where citizens across the galaxies pledge allegiance to one Earth nation’s flag. In so doing, they birth an empire of single minded purpose, and incredible power.

Too timid to talk to girls, Levi stays as far away as possible and completely on his own… until he saves the life of a troubled pretty blonde, a troubled pretty blonde that might just be the exception to his rule. Elsie Hall is homeless. Or at least that’s all anyone ever sees. Every day is a fight for survival on the cold streets of Seattle, everyday a struggle to find food and keep warm. Alone in life—a life that’s dangerous and cruel—her will to keep going is an ever-losing battle. In her world of silence, Elsie has given up hope that her life will contain anything but constant heartache and pain… until the beautiful boy she has severely wronged comes to her rescue at precisely the right time.

James Watt

Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer James Watt (1736–1819) is best known for his pioneering work on the steam engine that became fundamental to the incredible changes and developments wrought by the Industrial Revolution.
