Born this date in 1876 was Jack London, US author of Call of the Wild and White Fang. Here are some words of wisdom from him.
- You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
- The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
- I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
- Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.
- Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past.
- It is so much easier to live placidly and complacently. Of course, to live placidly and complacently is not to live at all.
- The most beautiful stories always start with wreckage.
- Fear urged him to go back, but growth drove him on.
- I was jealous; therefore I loved.
- Love is the sum of all the arts, as it is the reason for their existence.

Secrets and Skies
Scientist Desi Troyes has developed a nuclear bomb to counter the ever present threat of an asteroid hitting the planet. When Ward signs the order giving the go ahead for a nuclear test on the remote Bird Island, he has no inkling of Troyes' real agenda, and that he has signed the death warrants of millions of people.
Although the island should have been evacuated, there are people still there: some from the distant continent of Classica; protesters opposed to the bomb test; and Innovians who will not, or cannot, use their communication devices.
Power Blaster knows he must stop the bomb from hitting the island. He also knows it may be the last thing he ever does.
Meanwhile in Innovia, Ward and his staff gather to watch the broadcast of the test. Nobody, not even Troyes himself, has any idea what is about to happen.
Part One of The Raiders Trilogy.
