Book Description

June 1, 1996
HEART OF GENELLAN
Hotshot pilot Sharl Buccari was a living legend. She had led her crew of civilians and space marines to safety on the raw frontier planet Genellan. She had engineered peace with both alien races that claimed Genellan as their own. Now she faced building a colony, forging diplomatic relations among the three races, and raising her infant son alone.
But alien rebellion and xenophobia threatened to tear apart the fragile truce for which she had fought so hard and lost so much. Worse, the dread aliens who twenty-five years earlier had massacred entire star systems were back--and on the warpath.
The military needed Buccari like never before. The other survivors could take care of Genellan, and her alien friends could take care of her child. But only Buccari belonged to all three races of Genellan. Only Buccari could hope to unite them all against a common--and deadly--foe . . .

More About the Author

I am a lucky man. Born and pretty much raised in Hawaii (I went to the same high school as the president, although I am pretty sure I had better grades), I graduated from the US Naval Academy and became a Naval Aviator. There are no smarter, more genuine, more professional people than those that you will find in the American armed services. I am honored to be a veteran. There are also no better toys than Navy jets, and there are few adrenaline-pumping routines on this planet that can match landing on or taking off from an aircraft carrier. I was also privileged to be a regular watch-standing officer-of-the-deck, underway, on board the USS Hancock, a WWII vintage attack carrier.

After six years in the Navy (the Vietnam War was ending), I went to work for the next quarter-century or so in Silicon Valley, California, where I was again privileged to work with individuals of exalted intelligence and ambition: entrepreneurs. Working primarily in manufacturing and later in project management and customer service, I participated in the technological miracle of lasers, computers, and corporate software almost all at the start-up company level. Believe me, if you want to have fun (and angst) working, go join a start-up in the San Francisco Bay Area...

I have always enjoyed hiking and the outdoors and have come to believe that humanity's most important asset (after our respective families) is the Earth beneath our feet. That love of nature and my experiences in the military and high-technology companies define my novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great writing in the tradition of George Lucas, January 25, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Genellan, Book 2: In the Shadow of the Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
In addition to being a great friend with a sharp mind, Scott writes one mean book. It is not too technical so that it loses the audience, but flows at a natural pace with surprises that keep the audience interested. The reader should read both Genellan books, and I am sure they will then demand book three in the series, due out this year. I would be surprised if you don't see this series made into a movie in the near future. m. clark willis iii ceprn@techie.co

5.0 out of 5 stars ***Don't Miss This Series***, July 21, 2006
This review is from: Genellan, Book 2: In the Shadow of the Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
The book covers don't do justice to the content. This is the 2nd book in a series of 4. This is a great read, you'll want to start the next one immediately after putting this one down. It has everything. It develops into lots of great characters, Politics, seemingly genocidal ET's and successful first contacts and alliances against a common threat. Fans of David Weber, Heinlein, Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, John Ringo, Lois McMaster Bujold and Anne MacCafrey--to name a very few favorite authors-- will like these books. The themes are well thought out, and the characters all deal with the choices, sacrifice and agony of war, loss and hope in a realistic manner and sometimes with a little humor and romance thrown in. It has some great turns on themes others ahve used for books with much more depth, turn of phrase, and compassion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Xenophanes, April 1, 2007
This review is from: Genellan, Book 2: In the Shadow of the Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
Fantastic series. Definitely movie material. Anyone interested in interspecies dynamics should check this out! The majestic Kones and Noble Cliff Dwellers are fantastically written and life like in not only in biology, but in culture as well. Don't miss this series.
