John R. Carden

Back in the 1970’s I ran out of science fiction books to read, so I started writing science fiction manuscripts on my TRS-80 computer. I started sending manuscripts to publishers, and I had one of my manuscripts accepted to be published in 1776, but just as it was to be published, the publishing company went bankrupt, and it was never published. My next novel, Three Time Winners!, was published in 2006.

The Cy-Soldier from Earth

The Cy-Soldier is the story of a young United States soldier, Samuel “Slate” Steele, who is critically injured by a terrorist bomb while serving as a pilot and soldier in a Black Ops team in the Middle East. He is immediately airlifted to a military hospital, where he is stabilized and sent to a secret hospital in Germany. At that hospital, located deep underground, and using advanced medical technology, the United States military has his arms, legs, ear canals, and eyes successfully replaced with electronics and steel. After a very successful recovery, the young man serves for several more years; then he tries to retire and marry his childhood sweetheart back in his hometown. But this does not work out.

Deeply saddened, Slate starts roaming the North American continent, trying to forget the last image of her blue eyes staring into his eyes.

One day, while camping in the far western United States, the young man happens to see a UFO land on a high mesa. This leads Slate to a string of far-out adventures. His life path eventually leads him from Earth to fantastic exploits out among the stars, journeying through the planets of the Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empire (ICOPE), meeting and dealing with Reptiloids, Insectoids, Snakoids, and even other Humanoids and Colloid Cloud beings.

A Blow in Time

This Imperial document relates the life story of one Jonathan Baines Blow, a very famous Earth and Imperial admiral of the Interstellar Condominium of Planets and Empires; (ICOPE); for almost five centuries! At first, the admiral had the misfortune of losing an important battle against the Reptiloids of the Thunder Worlds when he attempted to rescue Johnny Trevor; one of his patrolmen. He lost the space battle, his right arm, and Johnny Trevor was ultimately killed by the Reptiloids! Soon after he returned home from the battle, his wife died of cancer. This caused the admiral to ultimately retire; living alone in the forests of east Texas and with few friends; and no family or children.

But after he retired to live out his days alone on the planet Earth, the admiral regularly went to the library in Madisonville, the town where he lived and researched to find out what he did wrong that lost the battle for Imperial forces; and what he should have done to win the battle and not lose his arm. When he finally researched enough to know what he had to do; the admiral contacted one of his military friends, Captain Gallant, and called in several hundred years of favors in order to get some military equipment that he needed. In the library Blow also researched cancer cures; and he researched areas in present-day Egypt where two archaeologists were spending their lives searching for valuable ancient Egyptian artifacts.
