Sinopsis

Born in a section of Detroit where almost all the residents are people of color and living in poverty, Ramar, Lamar, Shamar and Shamarla Ricks are black (brown) kids who must circumvent drugs, gang activity and other vices to survive.
 
Can these siblings who were born just months apart ward all this off long enough to make it through high school and progress to a better life?
 
Ramar, Shamarla and Lamar will stand up to any bad person who tries to influence them into going down the wrong path. This catches up to them later; after they refuse to join a gang at one point then do something even bigger to rile shady people later on, they face lethal retaliation. They must persist through being shot at and more to make it through high school.
 
Shamar is on a morality track opposite that of his sister and brothers, getting into trouble occasionally and sometimes not taking school seriously. His parents finally run out of patience.
 
Now that he’s running the streets with nowhere to go, he is headed for an even tougher fate. By the age of 18 all four kids have sealed their fate for adulthood.

In ancient Vietnam, there once lived a King called Hung Vuong. He was a benevolent king who ruled wisely and with much kindness. As Hung Vuong grew old, he had to pick one of his children to succeed him. To help him decide, the sons were given an important task to prepare a meal fit for a king. The two older sons journeyed to the farthest lands to find the rarest ingredients. The youngest, Lang Liêu, was a humble prince who merely prepared a simple meal with great care, using locally harvested rice grains, Vietnam's most precious edible commodity. While his brothers impressed their father with exotic dishes using the most exclusive ingredients, Lang Liêu fashioned simple glutinous rice cakes for the king—the bánh chưng and bánh giầy. Who will win the crown and rule the land?

Harvey is a blunt, methodical man who lives by calculation and certainty. When he meets Anna on Mars, he decides quickly that she will be his wife. He leaves just as abruptly, promising to return in ten months, already planning a future that extends far beyond ordinary expectations. 
While Anna waits, Harvey pursues an extraordinary goal. He discovers and claims an overlooked planet, then begins reshaping it with precision, patience, and scientific insight. What he builds there is practical, profitable, and deeply unconventional. 
Chicken Farm blends dry humor with big ideas about science, ownership, and unintended consequences. Ross Rocklynne turns simple decisions into sweeping outcomes, letting logic quietly carry the story forward. 
Ross Rocklynne was known for thoughtful science fiction that balanced speculation with human behavior. His stories often explore how intelligence and planning can collide with emotional reality. Chicken Farm remains one of his most inventive and enduring works.
