Second Base

by David J. Wighton

Overview

Wilizy operations always had a degree of uncertainty. Sometimes, a random event could mean a wonderful plan had to be adjusted. Sometimes, an ally acted in an unexpected manner. Sometimes, an enemy struck without warning. Sometimes, the Wilizy just got lucky and an impossible operation became possible. You'll find all of these in the thirteenth Wilizy book.

In the book's main plot, the Wilizy found the home base of the Safe Haven slave owners and searched for a way to bring them to justice. Their attempt to penetrate the defenses of Safe Haven's home base in Switzerland didn't have a ghost of a chance until... well, until the Wilizy joined forces with a ghost. The plan to rescue the slaves imprisoned inside was perfect; and then somebody ignored the plan. Ooops.

My favorite part of Second Base featured Bean. She met the sheriff of Helena Montana, a man who spouted terrible country witticisms like this: "Well, hitch my butt up to a pair of ponies and call me a stage coach." At first, she considered him a buffoon, but he grew on her. He was attracted to her as well but they decided to go their separate ways. And then, he was dying on a deserted Montana prairie. The Wilizy would have helped him if they had known, but they were busy fending off an attack on their base camp.

About the Author

David Wighton is a retired educator who enjoys writing youth novels when he's not on a basketball court coaching middle-school girls. The books in his Wilizy series peek at how people lived after the word's governments collapsed in the chaos that followed the catastrophic rise in ocean levels and the disappearance of the world's last deposits of oil. Luckily today, in the 2080s, the citizens of Alberta are safe because their It's Only Fair society uses brain-bands to zap people whenever they break a rule. That way, all children grow up knowing the difference between right and wrong. Unfortunately, they're also taught that women's ankles need to be covered so that men can't see them and turn into perverts. Plus, no-one in Alberta can have babies any more because the government manufactures them in a way that ensures that no child has an unfair advantage over any other child. All of this makes sense to Alberta's dictator, but not to Will and Izzy – two teenagers who are decidedly different from everyone else.

Wighton's novels have strong teenage characters driving the plot and facing challenges that, in many respects, are no different from what teenagers face today. His novels are intended to entertain and readers will find adventure, romance, suspense, humour, a strong focus on family, plus a touch of whimsy. Wighton also writes to provoke a little thought about life in today's societies and what the future might bring. Teachers may find the series useful in the classroom and the novels are priced with that intent in mind.
