Riassunto

While exploring a mesa near his farm, Ethan MX163, a young geologist and farmer, finds a tiny artifact from Old Earth civilization. The artifact is the first tangible evidence of civilization found since a small colony of Alpha Centaurian humans landed on Earth three generations ago, 5,000 years after near-complete devastation of the planet by impact of a giant asteroid-like object. Ethan traces the artifact and uncovers mysteries about the fate of Old Earth civilization. Solution of the mysteries involves Ethan, his fiancée, Laine, and two close friends, Si and Xana, in exciting exploration and discoveries that change all of their lives. Discovery of Site 39 and exploration of its suprising ancient, complex and historical contents lead Ethan, Laine and their friends through a maze of surprises, mystery and challenges, with promises of greater adventures and challenges to come.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Otis V. Goodwin III was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1935. His early life experiences were typical of a small boy in a southern town; Fourth of July celebrations, mandatory Baptist Church exposure, swimming in a muddy creek, bicycling all over the countryside, helping to build a house,, hayrides, football, and summers working on an aunt and uncle's farm. The year 1942 found the Author in Seattle, Washington. World War II caused the family to move there as his father performed work for the US Navy. The rented house on 13th Avenue was full of books that captured his imagination. After the war and through 1950,the B.B. Comer Library in Sylacauga, Alabama became an important part of the Author's life. The kind, friendly and patient libarians there provided guidance that led through many authors such as H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Roy Rockwood, Robert Heinlein, Ray Bradbury, and even William Beebe and Raymond Ditmars, to name a very few. They sometimes looked the other way if there were more books than the limit in the checkout pile, on a summer Friday afternoon. That early life reading stimulated an inquisitive streak, and interests, that led to life-long continuing education and a career of public service with the U.S. Government in the business end of the aerospace industry. The language of missiles, rockets and spacecraft became very familiar tools. As with many, a story line began to evolve subconsciously, over many years, without ever a pen set to paper. After the career ended, it was time to write something. There was nothing better to do than write an up-to-date version of the type of story that evoked the young boy's inquisitive streak and led to the interesting and sometimes exciting career of the young boy from the deep south. Those Librarians in Sylacauga deserve a very special thank you. "Ethan - Site 39" is but the first volume. "Site 39, Blue Orb" is the second. There are several more volumes in the Site 39 Series in the computer awaiting the finish and print processes. The author is retired, writing at leisure, at home in a small town in Washington State with his wife of 34 years, Elizabeth, and miniature Schnauzers, Abigail and Archibald.
