About this ebook

Confederate soldier Homer Lusta returns to Earth 150 years after the Civil War, the War Between the States, or as Homer would say, the War of Northern Aggression. He remains invisible as he searches for an author to write the "real story" of that war.
Finally Homer selects "Old Bob," materializes himself, and convinces Bob to write the story according to his memory. Homer's adaptation is reasonably accurate and loaded with "Homer humor" as he recalls his endeavors to save the South and protect underage brother, Lack, who illicitly has sneaked, early on, into the battlefield.
The boys are deceived by a corrupt gang of Rebel deserters into thinking the War is over. Unknowingly, they join these renegades, but soon realize they are traitors involved in iniquitous activity.
The boys decide to right this wrong. They search out and inform appropriate Rebel officers. Now having become heroes, the boys return home to accolades few in that war-torn land could ever imagine.

The Ghost of Homer Lusta
Author

Bob Taylor

CEO, founder, and owner of Alliant Enterprises, Bob Taylor graduated from Michigan State University in 1986 as a mechanical engineer and entered the Air Force as a B-52 navigator. He flew 11 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm and received the Air Force's Air Medal, before serving as a KC-135 navigator and eventually rising to the rank of Major. Over the past 30 years, he has held positions in engineering, operations, marketing, sales, and Chief Operating Officer, until eventually becoming a CEO in the medical device industry. In 2002, Taylor sold his 27% stake in his first startup, Aspen Surgical Products, in order to create Alliant Healthcare Products, a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business which is celebrating its twentieth year in business. In 2019, the company was recognized by the Small Business Administration (SBA) Michigan chapter as the Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year. As a veteran owner, Taylor has been a staunch advocate for legislative initiatives supporting veteran-owned concerns and has spoken on Capitol Hill several times. From Service to Success is a cornerstone of the Patriot Promise™ Foundation—a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that Bob Taylor created to drive down the rate of suicides among veterans and to provide a clear path forward as warfighters transition into a new mission and purpose following their military service. This foundation equips veterans with new skills for the workplace and their lives through a training program based on Taylor’s approach within From Service to Success.
