Reloading the Colts

by G. Alvin Coon

Overview

They were madly in love for fifty-three years. They were old, and Bill's doctor told him that he was not long for this world. And was he ever right.
A seventy-five-year-old Bill went to bed one night in the 23rd century on Earth, and woke up the next morning to find that he and his wife Cookie were now non-biological, and destined to be marooned on a freshly terraformed planet in another galaxy.
Like Adam and Eve, they were given a paradise, and they had to fight to keep it. Would they move fast enough to defend against an attack from space? Would non-biological reproduction of human children work? Would living forever be a blessing or a curse? They were in a realty that only seemed possible inside a dream, and only they could prevent it from turning into a nightmare. Fate dealt the hand, and it was up to them to play it.

About the Author

I was born in Loma Linda, California, but I have visited all 50 of the states in the USA, and spent enough time to receive mail in nine of them, with full residences, driver's license etc, in six, including border states north and south and coastal states both east and west. My oldest son was born in California, and my youngest son was born in Hawaii when my wife and I were living on Midway Island. I also spent a year in the middle of the Indian Ocean on an island, officially named Diego Garcia, but the 1200 of us guys, with no women residents, affectionately called it The Rock. My working expertise has been technical. I have worked as a field service engineer, maintaining CAT scanners, and Ion Implanters. I spent nearly a decade teaching electronics and other technical fields, with four of those years teaching sailors how to maintain HF transmitter systems for the fleet on the east coast. While I spent decades as an electronics technician, my heart was in engineering and science. Writing has been part of my life for decades, and it only has grown more important to me with time. My first short story that I remember was written around 1984. I have written many more short stories over the years, but most of my writing has been non-fiction, until now. From very long emails, to essays for web pages, and maintaining a blog, I have typed out millions of words. I have always loved to document events so I can read about them again later, or share them with others. It is now something I must do everyday. Writing has become that important to me. I can still hit a fastball, but my running days are over pretty much. Age has taken things from me, bit by bit. But it has given me things as well. I have been blessed with the best wife in the world for over forty years, two sons, and three grandkids. I have watched things like handheld calculators come into being replacing the slide rule I had to use in physic class in high school. Personal computers, came into being, and grew more and more powerful with each passing year. From party lines to cell phones, it has been an exciting journey for me.
