About this series
Martin Tall Bear’s life was a complete failure. Decades earlier he had deserted his Mohawk Tribe of New Brooklyn to become a petty anarchist and criminal. Killed in an unsuccessful prison escape, a rogue colony of intelligent ants (jants) reanimated Martin as a human/jant ‘zombie’ that was unfortunately immediately returned to prison. He/they ‘escaped’ prison life by volunteering for Space Directorate duty, only to find himself on a suicide mission in a robot-controlled ship to explore the Ort Cloud that formed the outermost reaches of Sol’s solar system. The good news was that he had the companionship of an amiable stonecoat rock creature named Mary Rumsfeld that centuries earlier had been a human and a Mohawk Tribe member. The bad news was that they faced almost certain death and were the only hope to save Earth from destruction by a gigantic alien spaceship and robot treachery. Space adventure with the backdrop of Earth transformed by climate change and the struggle of humans, jants, stonecoats, and robots to all survive.
Titles in the series (7)
- Global Warming Fun 1: Saved by Right-Handed Grass
Fun? Maybe not so much! In this initial short story of a planned FREE fantasy/sci-fi series, hapless Virginia home-owner Ed Rumsfeld is attacked in his own front-yard by mutant man-eating insects. Thus begins a series of short stories and/or novellas that following completion will also then be merged into an epic novel that chronicles an increasingly unstable world in which nasty natural, technological and mythical forces are unleashed by climate change and other human induced problems. So what's 'fun' about global warming/climate change? If you’re a glass-is-half-full kind of person maybe global warming and other human-induced disasters aren’t really ALL bad, maybe they’re also opportunities: chances for mankind to further make a mess of things surely, but also opportunities for adventure, surprise, and (Maybe, maybe not!) triumph! Will humans survive? At this point even the author doesn't know; follow this gradually emerging series to find out!
- Global Warming Fun 2: Ice Giants Wake!
According to ancient Mohawk legends, in severe winters the long dormant Stone-Coats/Ice Giants awaken and feed. As predicted by some climate modeling, a few areas on Earth are cooling instead of becoming warmer. When climate change brings year-long snow to the Adirondack Mountains of New York, the reclusive Iroquois Mohawk tribe that guards against monster emergence enlists the aid of Ed Rumsfeld, a seventh grade history teacher with recently gained telepathic abilities (see the first story of this series). Can the Stone-Coats be stopped? And what do genetically altered intelligent ants and a Mohican NSA agent have to do with it? Steeped in scientific rationale and Mohawk culture, this novella/short novel is the second story of an ongoing fantasy/sci-fi series that chronicles an increasingly unstable world in which nasty natural, technological and mythical forces are unleashed in response to climate change and other human induced problems.
- Global Warming Fun 4: They Taste Like Chicken
Due to climate change ice sheets now cover the New York Adirondack valleys, and the legendary Atenenyarhu (Stone-Coats)/Ice Giants of Mohawk legend are active all year. Fortunately the Giants' Rest Mountain Tribe has established a mutualistic symbiotic relationship with them and with the intelligent ants known as jants. Now giant man-eating tsiks (flies) are beginning to attack, just when it is time for young teen Mark Dawn Owl to go on his two week solo wilderness spirit quest. The shadowy leader of the US Government is also coming to visit Giants' Rest to speak with the Stone-Coats and jants. It is going to be a tough month for telepathic Tribe Chief Ed Rumsfeld, and an even tougher one for Mark. Part 4 of the Global Warming Fun sci-fi/fantasy series.
- Global Warming Fun 3: A Tick In Time
Twenty-seven year old George Kelso went to sleep on a cold fall night in Central Park in the city of New York with a suicide note pinned to his jacket. He never expected to wake up; he expected to die from cancer and exposure. Instead, he woke up refreshed and telepathically exchanging thoughts with intelligent genetically engineered ants called jants! At first George felt disappointed that he hadn't died peacefully in his sleep, but he soon felt better than he had felt in months! But what were his new friends the jants really up to and what did giant ticks have to do with it? This short story is the third publication of an ongoing sci-fi/fantasy series of short stories and novellas that chronicle an increasingly unstable world in which nasty natural, technological and mythical forces are unleashed in response to climate change and other human induced problems.
- Global Warming Fun 6: Ice Giants Make Manhattan
Kidnapped! In 77 years during ongoing climate change the daughter and great-great granddaughter of ageless Mohawk Chief Ed Rumsfeld have been kidnapped in Brooklyn by a mysterious unknown assailant super-powered enough to tear to pieces a two-ton Stone-Coat ice giant. Who, what, why? A zombie police detective kept ‘alive’ by sentient telepathic ants and a Stone-Coat replicate of Ed’s long dead first wife set off with Ed to find and rescue the girls. Meanwhile thousands of Stone-Coat ice giants that have begun a centuries-long effort to remake New York City to prepare for the expected two-hundred foot rise in sea level take some time-off to help address the unexpected threat.
- Global Warming Fun 5: It’s a Dry Heat
Fifty years from now California is hotter, drier, politically unstable, and largely under the control of a biker gang. Though it may not be the perfect time to vacation in the chaotic Golden State, aging Mary Rumsfeld tells her non-aging husband Ed that it is her dying wish that they go on their long planned vacation to see the sequoia and redwood trees as well as the Pacific coastline. After all, given Ed’s political connections as a Chief of the Giants’ Rest Mountain Mohawk Tribe and his telepathic abilities, as well as his alliances with the Stone-Coat rock creatures of Mohawk legend and with the hive-brained telepathic ants called jants, what could possibly go wrong? Perhaps armed bikers, radical political enemies, and jant zombies bent on murder? This full-length novel is the fifth volume in a planned ten-release series of mostly short stories and novellas that should ideally be read in order but can also be enjoyed individually.
