Remember these iconic words from Star Trek? "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." According to Wikipedia, in the Star Trek 'verse, this is known as The Captain's Oath.
Well, be forewarned. I've raised my right hand and taken a similar author's oath! My science
fiction book, G-1, is out now from Kindle Scout. This is epic for me as I
venture into the realm of science fiction writing as Rigel Carson. I hope
you’ll come along for the voyage of the Guardian of Earth series.
[Yes, G-2 and G-3
are already written. If Kindle Scout shows little interest in acquiring them,
you can bet they will come out through Muddle House Publishing!]
Some Insider Scoop:
G-1 incorporates
a few of my favorite things, including an island off the Georgia coast, water
research, robots, conspiracy theories, pop singers, think thanks, really bad
guys, a twist on media coverage, and a surprise ending.

Here’s the book blurb:
It’s 2065 and
Earth is beset by locusts, plagues, and earthquakes. Tensions escalate as food
and water shortages destabilize governments. A secret society poised for world
domination hunts for the keystone, an object of great power. The Chameleons
have already murdered in their quest to acquire the keystone, and now they
believe brilliant and reclusive scientist Zeke Landry has it.
Zeke’s Institute
bosses want answers ASAP on the water crisis, so they supply Zeke with a souped-up
robot named Forman. Zeke knows water can’t disappear, but the data suggest that
improbability. When Zeke’s uncle drops off the grid, Zeke and Forman suspend
the water analyses to find the missing man. A routing snafu sends Zeke’s travel
pod into the clutches of his enemies.
If Zeke doesn’t rise
to the challenge and assume his late father’s mantle as Guardian, chaos will
reign. The clock is ticking, for Zeke and the world...
