Romance | Science Fiction

Quinn Conlan had it all: a fast ship, a great crew, a gorgeous girlfriend, money, and adventure around every bend. That was before he agreed to ferry a shipload of weapons to the besieged planet Marica. Now he’s stuck in the prison colony on Marica-3, enduring weekly sessions with the camp’s “medical team,” and praying for a quick death before he breaks under the torture and spills everything he knows about the Marican resistance.

When opportunity strikes, Quinn takes Elsa, a Rhenian med tech, hostage and heads into the inhospitable interior of the small moon where he formulates a plan for getting his crew out of prison, his ship out of impound, and everyone out of orbit. But when Elsa professes her love, can Quinn take the beautiful doctor at her word, or will trusting her—and his heart—condemn him and his crew to an eternity on Marica-3?

Re: Fortune's Hero

I have seen a few Sci Fi movies that take the future in polar directions, either returning to the "Victorian Age" or "Blade Runner". If I could fast forward 100 years into the future, I am more likely to think that:
Cures for certain diseases have been found, along with the gene and have been eradicated.
Society has more of an agricultural need and more little farms - everyone cultivating their food -which could be engineered to feed more and have more nutrients
I could believe a break down of the monetary system and more of bargaining or reward
I also can believe that with science possible communication within other galaxies can occur
I think it would take longer but I would love to have a Tardis - that would most likely be my favorite invention

1a1a1 great contest

FAVORITE FUTURE INVENTION WOULD HAVE TO BE FLYING CARS THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME AND COOL.
(Shelly Caggiano 1:07pm December 13, 2012)

good idea, cannot wait to read, thanks
(Debbi Shaw 1:41pm December 13, 2012)

I imagine that there would be ways to live under the sea in
perfect comfort. Would love to be able to dine and sleep
while sea life swam innocuously by.
(G. Bisbjerg 1:57pm December 13, 2012)

Hmmm, the future... more solar powered things... can not imagine what tech can & will be made.
(Colleen Conklin 3:59pm December 13, 2012)

My Granny used to talk about going everywhere by horse or train a d then,
watching a man walk on the moon on TV!!! She was born on 1901. Look at
the short space of time that was. On the other hand, they Promised us
flying cars when I was a kid and are just now getting prototypes!!! And no
one fore saw personal computers or mobile phones then. So it's a mystery
to me what could happen!! ;)
(Penny Mettert 5:54pm December 13, 2012)

favorite future invention would be more cars that are electric and don't require gas
(Dwight Younger 6:15pm December 13, 2012)

Teleporting! Just like star trek! :)
(May Pau 8:42pm December 13, 2012)

I would want to see what my family history is like from the point where I lived to the point I entered the future.
(Donna Holmberg 8:44pm December 13, 2012)

In the future, space travel and space colonization would be available. More food will be soy/soy bean based.
(Kai Wong 8:59pm December 13, 2012)

I'd love to win this book.
(Wilma Frana 9:01pm December 13, 2012)

Can't imagine what the world would be like...that's why I
read. Others have a better imagination than me.
(Mary Hay 9:11pm December 13, 2012)

Let me start off my response by stating that I, too, remember the same things you do, so that must put us in the same age group. I remember going with my Dad to the store to shop for our first Color TV!! It's a bit odd, when you read about it in black and white - makes you look like someone who should be sitting in a rocking chair on a porch somewhere, with a piece of hay between their teeth or a corncob pipe!! LOL Anyway, in answer to your question, I could picture some type of transport to take you to the planet of your choice for a getaway vacation. By then, most, if not all of them should be inhabited and built up. They will be climatically controlled, and if you want to go to a Tahitian-type vacation, for example, then perhaps Mercury would be more to your liking. Venus would be the new "hot spot" for lovers. I'm sure someone would come up with ideas in advertising. They'd probably even have "stretch limo" types, for those that have the big bucks and don't want to drive- so to speak. In the medical world, all of your injections are taken care of by just passing through something like a doorway or like a metal detector. You don't feel a thing. That's all I can think of. Would love to read your book in print, since I'm so old-fashioned!! LOL Have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year!!

a self cleaning house, laundry area that folds clothes, moving sidewalks, cars that can hover...
(Michelle Schafer 10:00pm December 13, 2012)

I can't even imagine. As fast as technology is going, it just boggles my mind what they will have, if the world is still going!
(Vicki Hancock 11:05pm December 13, 2012)

Oh, and don't forget actually getting up to change the
channel on the tv. I can remember when my grandparents got
a new tv that had this incredibly new feature, something
called a remote. The remote was big boxy and had 6 buttons:
on/off, channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down and
mute. It was the coolest thing ever. The tv that I watched
Saturday morning cartoons on was in black and white and had
3 dials on it. When you stop and think about it, the
changes that have happened in my lifetime just boggle my
mind.

The one thing that I would love to see by the year 3012 are
the molecular transporters like on startrek. Beam me up
Scotty!
(Judith Cauthan 11:46pm December 13, 2012)

A device that would allow one to read any book that's been published.
(Mary C 11:46pm December 13, 2012)

How about a device to alter the weather (sitting in Dublin where it's raining).
(Clare O'Beara 7:19am December 14, 2012)

Definitely more cures for diseases would be great, although I
like the idea of living under the ocean!
(Rebecca Whitehead-Schwarz 12:21pm December 14, 2012)

Those are some awesome suggestions! Thanks for much, y'all, for stopping by and playing!
(Jennie Bentley 2:59pm December 14, 2012)

Thanks SO much...
(Jennie Bentley 3:00pm December 14, 2012)

I imagine that a lot of people will go back to simpler times.
Grow your own food for one. More control over what you eat &
cheaper.
(Mary Preston 5:31am December 15, 2012)

Love the idea of living under the ocean !! More jobs so the economy can get better. I wish they invented more homes for the homeless
(Danielle McDonald 1:03pm December 15, 2012)

I'm sure in the future we will all drive some type of vehicle that uses no gasoline (all electric or some other newbie invention to make them run), and our new homes will all be computerized for everything, and when you go to a drive-up at fast-food restaurants, you'll touch-screen your order in (self-service), instead of giving it to a person on an intercom, and our cars will be equipped with more gadgets including built-in telephone, back massager, remote steering, and a device that suctions away rain and no more wiper blades! More jobs will be done from our homes.
