About this ebook

Daniel Curran was getting old, and he knew it. He was retired now, and after years of working and being generally useful, he was finding that retirement wasn't as much fun as he had thought. In short, he was feeling useless...

Until an Alien started talking to him in his head, that is. Not just any Alien, but an Alien AI that controlled a Star Ship, and it asked Daniel for help. When he accepted the responsibility, he thought he would just be useful again.

What he ended up with was far more important than just being useful...

Michael Black

I was born in 1948, to two delightful parents, in Brockton, Massachusetts. From about 5 years old I knew I loved Science Fiction and Horror movies. I graduated from Braintree High School in 1966. The Military draft was going strong then, and since I didn't want to be conscripted, I joined the Naval Reserve the next year. From 1968 to 1970 i served on my first ship, going to the Mediterranean on one 6 month cruise, being released after my 2 year obligation. From 1970 to 1972 I did Weekend Warrior time on two reserve Destroyers once a month, and two weeks in the summer. Just before my enlistment was up, I found I liked the life of a sailor, and reenlisted in the regular Navy, for the remainder of a twenty year carreer.After that, I went to work for a private Ship Yard, and spent the next 24 years working on more Navy Ships, making much more money of course. I retired in 2016, and have been learning how to enjoy retirement ever since.
