About this ebook
Earth Gets Even is the fourth book in the Shonak series and details how Earth finally catches
up with Shonak’s key technologies allowing inter-phase travel and communication, anti-gravity
flight, and virtually unlimited power from small, eco-friendly devices. The technology leap made
by Earth is not made by the science or technology community, but rather by a high school senior
in Phoenix, with a knack for seeing the possible and then making it happen. What Benjamin
Post learns first is that he can now see the extent of Shonak surveillance of Earth, and he works
with some others and the World President to bring Shonak to heel over it. Rather than ban the
surveillance they decide to cash in on it and monetize the habitual vid-watching of Earthtaking
place on Shonak. This book is a fun read that helps bring some closure to the historically tentative
relationship Earth has had with Shonak. Beginning at the start of Earth’s recorded history it
has continued unabated and largely unknowntill now the fourth millennium on Earth. Ben
Post becomes something of a savior to a planet with some fifteen billion people and he also
becomes the world’s first and only trillionaire. Enjoy his transition from kid to owner of the largest
manufacturing conglomerate in history of Earth, and watch as his ideas change the planet forever,
and for the better. Dennis Patrick Treece’s Shonak Series is written in his distinct story-telling style.
This book, the fourth in the series,has a coming-of-age story where Benjamin Post is the hero. It
follows his saga as a young inventor turned global relationist and entrepreneur. The book ends
with his meeting the World President and formulating a plan to monetize Shonak’s near complete
invasion of Earther Privacy. Though this ending is dramatic, especially due to Benjamin’s humble
start, it shows how Benjamin has grown and changed over the course of the novel. Whether he
made the right decisions is up for the reader to decide. This book is a fun sci-fi read for mature
audiences. Though Benjamin Post is a bit naive and awkward, he is 100% teenager, and the
narrator reveals this to us throughout the book. Taking place in the far away future - the book
features many other fun elements of science fiction such as phase weapons, autonomous taxis
and secret spy communication with invisible heat-reactive ink. Treece’s entire series takes a close
look at the human condition and how people react to power and fortune, in stark contrast to the
way things are done on Shonak. Treece’s series is wildly imaginative yet realistic. The author uses
believable characters and situations decorated with elements of the future and the foreign. He
shows a tense relationship with “the other” which is such a prevalent topic in the world today. Not
only did Treece invent a completely alternate world belonging to an alternate universe, he also
designed the future of our planet. Dig in, and enjoy!

Dennis retired from the Army in 2000, after thirty years, and five wars, if you count The Cold War and the Global War on Terror, to Vietnam, Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and the Peacekeeping mission in the Balkans. He is a retired Army Colonel, a combat wounded veteran, and not at all religious. The first part of his life was entirely conventional. He grew up in a non-religious Navy family, living around the country and around the world, and his father retired in Phoenix, Arizona when he was in the seventh grade. After graduation from Arizona State University Dennis went into the Army via the ROTC program and his first tour was in Vietnam where he was wounded by enemy mortar fire. He served for thirty years, half of which was overseas, and participated in the Gulf War and the peacekeeping operation in the Balkans. He was the US Army’s first “Cyber Cop” and when he retired as a full colonel in 2000 he went to work in the cyber security business. After the tragedy of 9/11 he was hired by a major city Port Authority to run the security program for three airports and the city’s seaports. As he got older things in his life changed. He married an artist with a PsyD and ordination as a minister in the Church of Spiritualism. He became a Reiki Master and studied spiritual things while being “coached” through the contents of what would become the book A Million Monkeys.He found the whole thing difficult to accept, but finally translated the thoughts from these Spirits and published the book. Dennis accepted his role as Narrator of the story, not the originator, and wrote the book in the second person, since it is essentially a lecture to Humanity by a Spirit describing itself as a “Super Soul of great magnitude”. It should not be seen as religious although it covers religious subjects. And it should not be seen as the enemy of established religion. They are what they are and as creations of Mankind, are understandably flawed however well intentioned. Essentially they get it about 60% right. If you are looking for the answers, that is the actual answers to Genesis and the Meaning of Life, this is the book you need to read. The next book, The Crown of Happenstance, uses elements from the Million Monkeys story and creates the sister planet Shonak, and the character Bon. The third book, soon to be published, is called It's About Time, and fully examines Bon's relationship with Earth and also the matter of TIme. What is it, exactly? It has no weight, color, size, sound, feel - but it is real enough, or is it? Read the book to find out.
