Read an Excerpt

There it was out in the open now. 2-200! He could only laugh helplessly. Yes, it was getting very interesting.

For men, love at first sight is basic physics. But taming the male ego also requires chemistry. It's enduring slavery after that. For women, much gets known to the wise. But, alas, such wisdom also teaches silence.

While they walked to the Hunter's Lodge, Raemon was pleasantly reassured that Ranie found his jokes rather funny. She was still laughing at his last one as they entered Hunter's Lodge. Thereupon she abruptly halted, stopped laughing, and, taking a quick look around, hastily grabbed his arm. In a thrilled tone, she exclaimed the obvious: "This is a jungle!

The walls, partitions, and ceiling displays gave the realistic impression of being out in a forest at dusk.

"Yes," answered Raemon, looking around admiringly. "It certainly is realistic.

"Hoot, hoot," came a cry.

Ranie clutched his arm tighter. "What was that?" she said, looking around wildly.

    Great, if you like Sci-Fi

    I admit, it took me awhile to get through this book, but that's because I'm not seasoned when it comes to reading sci-fi. The ideas take longer to sink in then with any other genre. However, this book is very well-written, and very funny. The author has an excellent way with words, and I really enjoy his creativity. The only thing that made it a slow read for me were the pages and pages of explanation. If you're into sci-fi, this is a great book.
