Beschreibung

In a world ravaged by a mysterious virus, there may be few survivors. Follow Joan Herl and the first AI Computer SIMPOC as they navigate a future far beyond Earth. In the series "Virus/Earth II," the first book, "Virus-72 Hours to Live," tells of Earth dealing with a suspicious virus; source unknown. The Commander of the 5th Fleet, Admiral Monson, and the Commander of the Space Station Oasis, Joan Herl, face crises as the virus strikes. President Patterson is losing control of the country. Will the 5th Fleet continue to function, and will Joan have to abandon support for Earth's astronaut colonies on the Moon and Mars? The second book, "Virus-Human Remnants," continues humanity's battle. The Space Station Oasis is severely affected by the virus and is forced to evacuate to Earth, leaving the colonies on the Moon and Mars without support. Warlords take over the major cities, and President Patterson relocates the US Government to an aircraft carrier. Just as Earth's few survivors hope they may have survived the worst, the source of the virus appears, and they feel doomed. As the series progresses, the survivors are given an incredible gift that enables them to explore the vast universe around them. But with this gift comes great danger and challenges.

Autor

Ray is a prolific author that enjoys storytelling. He feels that the Science Fiction genre is fertile ground to understand ourselves and where we're going. Ray was a Command Pilot in the US Air Force with over 4,500 flight hours. He traveled to 27 countries around the world in the C-130. His assignments ranged from landing in a farm field in Paraguay to entering West Berlin and experiencing Russian controllers giving him false headings. Ray's other assignment was as a T-38 instructor pilot. "The T-38 is the best plane in the word; two pilots, two engines, and two afterburners." Two of his remarkable experiences included training the first class of female pilots and receiving an Air Commendation medal for saving a T-38 that blew an engine during a touch and go, saving himself and the student pilot on board. After his Air Force career, Ray enjoyed a long and exciting career with Northrop Grumman. During the 28 years at Northrop, some of the highlights included work as the Lead Wind Tunnel test engineer on the F-20, F-23, F-18, and B-2. His career progressed to be the Deputy Manager of Engineering for the Tri-Service Stand-Off Attack Missile (TSSM). Later he was responsible for all of the computers at Ryan Aeronautical, then all of the computers on the B-2 Bomber program. Ray hopes you enjoy his work, and he looks forward to sharing many new and exciting stories.
