His Native American mother has tried everything to help Benny find a better path, but when he lands in court in front of an unforgiving judge, it looks like there’s no hope—until the judge agrees to allow Benny one last chance at turning his life around. The only problem is, he’s being sent to stay with his father, a man Benny hasn’t seen for seven years.

  A World To Die For by Sam Carson - Titans respect men who create, and add to the betterment of others. Surely it is brave to be a Titan and muchly in love. 
  They cut the Markab out of hyper space three parsecs from Deneb, on the North Galactic Polar course. Three men were aboard the space yacht. The alien ship they expected to find was a thousand times greater. By standards of the Galactic Service, the Markab was on a suicide mission. 
  Rik Guelf, the Markab's pilot, conned sync parallax tapes, the robot master controls and set the screen charts. In came Captain Rodolph, stout and weary from twenty years of patrol service. Behind was Pere Danold, thin and lithe, with feral eyes and tight lips. 
  "I'm tossing out telar screens. If they're breaking out of hyper, as the outposts charted, we won't wait long." 
  "You hope," Danold's sardonic voice jeered. "Your phantom ship paralyzes five ships of the line beyond Altair, so they send for us to blast it." 
  Captain Rodolph looked the younger man over thoughtfully. "You volunteered back at Fleet Base Eighty." 
  Danold settled to a bench, legs outstretched. "Why not? When the brass installs the newest trinogen gun in this dinky yacht," he laughed mirthlessly, "one that can blast the ears off a cruiser at a thousand miles—well, I wanted a crack. Trouble was," he added, "I thought we were after a Vegan, making a sneak attack." 
  "You were told it was a mission beyond the call of duty," Rodolph said sternly. "None of the ships meeting the alien had a trinogen battery. We can't carry but one. We've got the fast drive. They figure we can get in one shot and duck." 
  "I still say it would make sense to arm a fleet with trinogens," Danold grumbled. "If that alien has a transparent ship five miles long, which I gravely doubt on both counts."

  Everything you learned in history class was wrong. 
  Think George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and couldn't tell a lie? Nope. 
  Believe Ben Franklin discovered electricity with a kite? Think again.

  Author Donovan Douglas serves up the real stories with wit, irreverence, and just enough snark to keep you turning pages.

  Why Parson Weems invented the cherry tree story (spoiler: he was trying to sell books) 
  How Ben Franklin nearly got himself killed chasing lightning 
  Which eight presidents served before Washington (and why nobody talks about them) 
  The real stories behind America's most persistent historical lies 
  This isn't about hating America or tearing down heroes—it's about celebrating the complex, flawed, and genuinely fascinating people who built this country. Because the truth is always more interesting than the myth.
