A richly imagined story that explores both the grand and enduring allure of our national pasttime and the complications of our lives - our longings, losses, and regrets - COLUMBUS SLAUGHTERS BRAVES is a dark and comic and ultimately redemptive novel.

Covers both ANSI C and Assembly for the 8051, using Keil's Assembler and Compiler (which is what Franklin sold as their own for many years). Not all of the author's ideas will be comfortable ones and a number of them will be unpopular with the reader. It was doubly appropriate in the context of a rhetorical world that sought dramatic effect and energeia (graphic presentation) ."

In "Fortress Earth," the fourth and perhaps final Heppner entry in the Extinction Wars series, Creed's world has done all it can to prevent another alien invasion like the one that decimated it into a smoking ruin years before when an alien race enslaved the remaining humans to use the toughest in its mercenary armies. I also think it will make a great Christmas gift for my 13 year old nephew.The book also
