Roger Russell 
Second Spin 

The corporation had won the war, and peace filled the three galactic spirals. Or did it?
One grainy intercepted message tipped that thinking on its ear.
’Audra, were so desperate. The men we have left are doing the best they can. But we cant raise enough food to feed ourselves. The lichen is hard to scrape, and the children and women cant harvest enough to support our population.’
Quiet sobbing filled the gap before the second woman spoke softly.
’Milly, I know. Even our last two priests have started working in the food caverns.’
Any advanced human society can be nice to someone that deserves it. But what about an enemy that doesnt? Their far-flung trade worlds knew the Blood Star System to be mortal enemies. Could they put a ’second spin’ on the story to turn things around in time to save the dying planet?

Om författaren

Roger Russell has a strong interest in people watching. He thinks anyone that finds people boring just isnt paying attention to the right people!

Roger has 17 nieces and nephews and loves being the uncle that spoils them and sends them home. The only thing I wont do for them is change diapers.

The local library knows him by name and wonders what book he will be looking for and requesting next. The only thing he hates to read is something predictable.

One of his favorite phone calls was after he sent his brother a copy of Enders Game and heard how much he enjoyed it. And his stuffy bear? It was a big red stuffed rat named Ralph with floppy ears.
