Far from Earth, on a ship carrying the 13th and 14th generations of descendants from the original crew, life is short.

He knows the intricacies of the system, how it works . . . and how it can be subverted. He is growing old. Rebellious. He also knows his name will soon come up in the computer for elimination.

Synopsis Android Avenger by : Ted White

All of a sudden I was moving faster than usual. The other passengers standing on the subway platform seemed rooted to their places. It took me only seconds to reach the top of the six flights of stairs, and then I was out of the station and moving down Fulton Street at better than forty miles an hour! What was happening to me? It was as though I were the helpless passenger in a runaway car. Something else had assumed control and was guiding me. My body turned into an office building and raced down the corridor to a room where a man was sitting at a console. He'd begun to swing around in his chair when my mouth opened, and a thin, blood-red ray shot out, cleaving the man from head to abdomen. Then it was over. My mouth closed, and I stood there, stunned. Up to today I was Bob Tanner, an average, sane Citizen. Now what was I, man or murder machine?

The hero of the novel is Ed Doukas, who is the nephew of the scientist whom everyone blames for the destruction of the Moon (though it's never clear if the scientist is actually guilty); this uncle survived, because he had left the Moon the day before the experiment.Soon, the government learns of the survival of the uncle, and he goes underground. Ed soon finds himself a pariah due to his relation to his uncle.As the story proceeds, there begins to be a debate, then more animosity between people who are natural, and the re-created android personalities, until it begins to resemble McCarthyism, as the naturally-born people believe the androids want to take over the world.Ed learns where his uncle is hiding, and decides to stand with the androids, since the natural-born are so hysterical and are becoming luddites, i.e. they are against all science.Soon, there is a war between the two sides, and that fills up the rest of the story.

Synopsis Ask Dr. Blackjack by : Sam Barrington

Ask Dr. BlackJack By Sam Barrington What do the Readers Think of "Ask Dr Blackjack"? "I struggled to stay even playing Blackjack and thought I could be a better player. After reading "Ask Dr Blackjack" my game really picked up when I instituted the extra plays in the book". Phillip Cuffman - Attorney "I have travelled all over the world gambling with my husband. We have both played professionally and done well, thought we knew all there was to know about Blackjack. After reading "Ask Dr Blackjack" we discovered plays that only enhanced our winning experiences. This book is well worth the price". Margaret Hinson - Midtown Billiards, Since 1940 (Owner) "Blackjack is a hobby of mine. I enjoy the game but had trouble grasping some of the methods involved. After reading "Ask Dr Blackjack" I understood why I was supposed to make certain plays. Barrington's logic was a big boost for my game". Dustin Monday - Computer Systems Engineer "As a recreational Blackjack player, Barrington's insight on the correct plays has made a great difference in how far my gambling dollars go when I visit a Casino. I just wish I would have found this book sooner". Greg Pumphrey - Architect "This book was extremely helpful in advancing my Blackjack winnings but the inside stories about the Casino activity is what made the book". Owen Ross - Retired Banker This book would bot have been possible without all the hard work of Billy Mathys and Arkansas Graphics, Inc.
