Ex Terra Expeditions (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

One last, great adventurethat's all they wanted...
But when Benjamin and a few of his buddies from the old troop consider their fleeting youth, they realise that they need to do something special before going their separate ways into the adult world, and what would be a more appropriate celebration for a bunch of scouts, now in their early twenties, than a campout?

But not just a normal campout. Oh, no, nothing normal about this group of young men. If there are two paths, they always take the more difficultjust to prove a point.

They get together to plan, but prodded on by one of their fellow scouts, the plan they make will entail some travel...some extended travel...to a distant planet.

Taking advantage of some technology discarded by the government (declared to have "no military value"), the scouts agree to be instantly transported by a device of possible alien origin to a world where not only are their rules of social conduct challenged, but also their assumptions about reality itself.

Autor

Westley was born in Lancaster and raised on the site of a Spanish ranch and vineyard belonging to the Cordova family. He brought up his own family in the small town of Lincoln. He currently resides in the Sierra foothills near Sacramento, California, with his wife, two dogs, and a few children constantly coming and going.

Having been trained from his youth by two school teachers (his mother teaching English and his father teaching music), his education took him far and wide. Initially completing a series of degrees in computers and electronics, he later returned to the same university where his mother had taught to work towards a teaching position himself.

On the way to his goal he discovered that more than just his children wanted to hear the stories in his head, and so entered into a writing career, joining with other writers in his area, helping them as they helped him. Beginning with the bedtime tales he had told his children, he put figurative pen to paper and wrote. Never suffering from writer's block, when he got stuck, he merely asked any one of his children what came next then continued on from there. Keeping up with his children and their changing outlook on life, he pieced together the various narratives, as they remembered them, resulting in a rather disjointed fabrication.

When he decided that he needed to address a wider audience, he undertook to tell his own tale, with only occasional help from his children, thus Ex Terra Expeditions was born, incorporating many experiences and desires from his own youth.
