  Peace Out Dawg! - Tales from...

  As 9-11 shakes the Doonesbury world, many of its denizens are drawn inexorably toward Ground Zero--Mike to attend a memorial service for a former employer; B.D., reactivated for crowd control and celebrity tourism; Marcia Feinbloom to hit on firefighters; and Zonker to deliver potent fruitcakes to weary rescue workers. Those on the home front are no less affected by events: "I no longer care what Madonna had for breakfast," laments Boopsie, proof positive that Everything Has Changed.Half a world away, in Al-Qaeda Qountry, a burka-clad Roland Hedley is captured by a freelance warlord, then wounded by a can of Spam during a massive friendly food drop. Feyzabad Station Chief Havoc's effort to rescue the downed journalist speaks well for the new, improved CIA, which has somehow managed to parlay its "massive" intelligence failures into cult status on the nation's campuses. How else to explain Jeff Redfern's new internship with "Acme Imports"--and his sudden affinity for shaken-not-stirred libations?Meanwhile, former inside trader Phil Slackmeyer watches from his deathbed as the effort to smoke out evildoers expands to include the entire management team of Enron. Prominent among them is "Jimmy Jack Jumbo" Andrews, head of over 400 Caymans-based businesses, who calls his old friend to ask the question on many an ex-exec's mind: "What's prison like?" And back at the White House pressroom, NPR attack-dog Mark has questions of his own, like, "What time will you be launching the cover-up?" and "Will there be a lunch?" Yes, excavating Enron's smoking crater will be a long and dirty job--even if the president barely knows "Mr. Lay," the disgraced CEO with whom he exchanged 350 letters. As Dubya assures us, "I did not have political relations with that man."

  My Best Science Fiction Bundle -...

  I have setup this series that includes the sci-fy version of my concept as well as the non-fictional version that followed because after completing the Book to End All Books, I realized there had to be one more book that describes the science behind my concept of creating a 2nd sun in the sky by igniting the planet Jupiter using laser technology we now know how to create a nuclear fusion reactor in the lab. 
  But, by using this technology as well as our new-fangled rocket ships made possible by Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson as well as NASA, ESA etc, it is now a much closer reality that we can save our planet by taking our know-how into space and accomplishing something that has never been done by any other living things anywhere in the universe as far as we can tell. One this is for sure, this event puts humanity on the Astronomy maps of all other life forms around the galaxy if they are actually out there watching and measuring space as we are. 
  This is a completely original and new idea both in fiction and non-fiction as far as I can tell. 
  The follow-up book: ‘The Jupiter Sun – The Greatest Achievement in Human History’ – was published immediately after this one because I realized that the science that I had uncovered in this book could be accomplished by Humans, but it had to be moved up to a much faster schedule due to the urgent situation that we are in as a species. If we don't find a second source of free, clean, sustainable, renewable and infinite power and pipe it back to the Earth as well as to Mars, we could become extinction as well as cause the extinction of all other life on the Earth due to our continued addiction to fossil fuels, the source of green house gases and the destruction of our atmosphere. 
  The other thing that should be remembered is that in the history of Science, most of the time, the big advances come not from the intentional research that is done, but by accident and serendipity.
