Spindown

$15.00 – $25.00
George Wright Padgett
For over a hundred and fifty years, the rarest and most valuable substance in the solar system has been mined from the only location where it exists in significant quantity: Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede. For all of this time, the remote mining outpost has been serviced by clone slaves who are drugged into mindlessness, and all of it has been monitored, controlled, and administered by the artificial intelligence known as Prinox. But what happens when a failed rescue mission causes a small band of escaped clones to begin questioning their lives, their society, and their very existence? Hunted by deadly killing machines, confused and scared, these renegade slaves are about to find out–for better or worse–just what it means to be human.

Inspired by such classics as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lord of the Flies, THX-1138, Brave New World, Logan's Run, and The Black Hole, Spindown will appeal to all fans of "hard sci-fi" writers such as Clarke, Asimov, Bradbury, Gibson, and Heinlein

Wayne Basta
Firefly with aliens, Star Wars without the force . . . and a dash of the American Revolution. "I like a little rebellion now and then...The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all." — Thomas Jefferson Unlike her brother, Saracasi Ocaitchi has always known that her loyalties belong to the ideals of freedom and democracy, not the government of the Alliance, and that protecting those ideals would require a fight. But now that the rebellion she has dreamed about has finally begun, she must come to terms with what that truly means: for herself, for her brother, and for all of the people who will die in the coming war.
