Cle Curbo, author

Adult; Mystery/Thriller; (Market)

Simon Silibus is unflinchingly devoted to Ryger Deacon's comatose body, planning to give Ryger a new life, but the law and the Trackers are after Simon. After leaving Ryger at Heavenly Hospice, Simon borrows a memory pearl from old friend Maggie O’Die, head of All Bio. He catches a late evening’s flight to Arizona, intending to disappear into the desert below the Mogollon Rim, where he hopes to find the fabled old woman of the hill. Maggie sends an awakened Ryger Deacon to recover her pearl, and Deacon arrives in time to see five men place a fallen Simon into a van and escape. Maggie entrusts Ryger with finding her long lost husband, Sam, and when Maggie unexpectedly collapses and is taken to Grader’s secret hospice, Ryger’s tasks seem overwhelming, as he learns he is the executor of Maggie’s vast estate, and must find the true Cara, who is Maggie’s heir and missing granddaughter.. When Cara after false Cara show up, Ryger’s task becomes impossible, until one day a waif appears on the floor in front of his office. Is she the true Cara, or just another pretty face seeking unrightful fortune? As they evade abductors who would sell them to the Trackers as Simon feared, Cara and Ryger search for the Mogollon Rim trail where Simon was captured, and realize the strange and unique truth of who they really are.

"The Space Trade and The Space Trade Update"

Described by the author, L. Paul Turner

 

 

Our current living in space is without a gravity-feel spaceship. Such lack hampers efforts to make permanent self-sustaining habitation in orbit. I feel the great unspoken desire of billions of people all over the world is to see us take our place in the cosmos. I believe we must build and sustain economic prosperity in space, in order to achieve success, wealth, and the thriving community life we ardently seek every day. We can succeed in space where governments have failed. I wrote the book to show us the way.
