Dear Reader
I’ve had
requests for another Jim Scott book, because some readers evidently weren’t
satisfied with the help he gave Bob Becker in Bigfoot Bait or Pool
Of Blood. So here is the
requested book. In it, the new President
asks Jim to help retrieve two topflight physicists from China, where they were
taken after the Chinese kidnapped them in a bloody shootout on the streets of
Las Vegas. The President is made aware
of Jim’s capabilities by Tony Henry, now Sir Anthony, and SIS (MI6) Chief. A previous President, who had served during
the time the Janitors were together, happens to be visiting the White House at
the time. He also endorses Jim as the
man for the job.
A side issue in
the book is the matter of a Chinese team bent on assassinating the new
President.
Dedication
President George W.
Bush, the best of my lifetime.
Forward
When I was just
a young lad, the thought of flying at the speed of sound was unheard of. Yet lo and behold, we now have planes flying
at much faster speeds. Therefore,
reaching the speed of light should not be written off as impossible. While the sci-fi folks have come up with
ideas like portals, et cetera, for mankind to travel to the stars, in reality
it will have to be done faster than the speed of light flight, to accomplish the
job. Perhaps such speed is being worked
on at Groom Lake (Area 51). If so, I am
well-satisfied we don’t know about it. I
also hope no one in Washington, D.C. knows about it either, since no one there
seems capable of keeping their mouths closed about our technological
breakthroughs.
This is the
story of a couple of guys who are working on that very project…in Area 51.
