We Lost Earth

by Bennie Grezlik

Overview

Gate World is connected to Earth through a star gate in geosynchronous orbit. The Gate World colony produces amboria, an invaluable mineral for Earth, so Earth treats the dictatorship in the colony as a resource, ignoring brutal suppression of human rights. Anything is tolerated to get the amboria. A young woman leads a revolution that literally severs ties with Earth by destroying the star gate. Gate World is now free but the colony almost dies without external support. This is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the ultimate test of human endurance, first against a ruthless dictatorship, then against nature itself.

About the Author

Bennie Grezlik has been writing and publishing lies since 1978. In the last few years, Stonegarden.net has released three of his novels, the latest being The Search For Earth. He has written stories for a number of anthologies, the most notable being a series of zombie tales for Yard Dog Press. He also wrote and produced for about five years the Skip Thruster, Space Detective plays that were brought to life for ApolloCon by enthusiastic actors, otherwise known as fans. Skip Thruster radio plays were first aired on KPFT, Houston.

In another life back in the psychedelic sixties, Bennie was a technician at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston from 1966, through 1969. You read that title correctly. This was before the center was named for its mentor, Lyndon B. Johnson. And, yes, Bennie used a slide rule because it was sexy and because it was B.C. (Before Calculators).
