About a year ago I had my new 290-page science fiction novel _The
Interstellar Slingshot_ published and placed on the market by Xlibris
Corporation, an Internet Service Provider. I would like to include the
copyrighted novel in a science fiction-oriented online archive where it can
be easily accessed by the general public and copies freely downloaded.
I would be pleased to respond to questions and provide a brief description
and/or a sample chapter of _The Interstellar Slingshot_ to a 'science
fiction' archive that might consider accepting it.
The novel was reviewed by Brenda Gayle, _The Write Lifestyle_ at
>> http://www.geocities.com/theritelifestyle/ << Following is an
excerpt:
"The main characters are well written and secondary characters are very
active. You can't be sure whose side a couple of them are on, which adds to
the suspense. Dialogue is well suited. Description of life on Planet Pluto
is vivid and fits into events throughout the story. ... The Interstellar
Slingshot is a different kind of science fiction story, one which I can
imagine on a movie theater screen. Sci fi fans will enjoy this tale of a
future we would hope to avoid."
I've read the OnLine Books Page and several of its relevant links on getting
a book online. FYI, I am an 84-year old former tech writer (civilian) who
was aU. S. Air Force employee for about 33 years. One of my titles: _A
Grandpa's Notebook_, is currently listed in the Gutenberg Archive at:
