Skullcap
Autor Steven Burgaueren Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 apr 2015
REJUVENATION . . . .gateway to eternal life or doorway to never-ending bondage? . . . .game-changing advance or shackle forged from hardened steel?
SLAVE CAMP #5, DOMTAR PROVINCE, VENUS . . . .final resting place for an expendable drone or launchpad to a new horizon?
ESCAPE TO FREEDOM . . . .impossible dream or the only true reality?
Three planets, three lifetimes. A boy, a man, a slave.
What begins with a future constricted by mind-numbing tentacles ends in a faraway dungeon walled-in by a barrier of writhing jungle. Tech that might have been a source of incalculable power becomes instead a tool that suffocates personal freedom.

Notă biografică
Steven Burgauer, Biography
Avid hiker, Eagle Scout, and founder of a mutual fund, Steven Burgauer resides in Florida. A graduate of Illinois State University and the New York Institute of Finance, Steve writes science fiction and historic fiction.
Burgauer's The Road to War: Duty & Drill, Courage & Capture is based on the journals of an American WWII infantryman who landed at Normandy, was wounded and taken prisoner by the Nazis.
A member of the Society of Midland Authors, Steven is included in The Dictionary of Midwestern Literature, Volume 2: Dimensions of the Midwestern Literary Imagination.
Some of his SF titles include The Grandfather Paradox, The Railguns of Luna, The Fornax Drive, and SKULLCAP. Other books of his include The Night of the Eleventh Sun, a Neanderthal's first encounter with man, and The Wealth Builder's Guide: An Investment Primer. Steven contributed to the zany, serial mystery, Naked Came the Farmer, headlined by Philip Jose Farmer.
His work has been reviewed in many places, including LOCUS, SCIENCE FICTION CHRONICLE, the PEORIA JOURNAL STAR, the EUREKA LITERARY MAGAZINE, and PROMETHEUS, the journal of the Libertarian Futurist Society.
A review of The Railguns of Luna from the prestigious SCIENCE FICTION CHRONICLE (June 2001):
Steven Burgauer writes old style science fiction in which heroes and villains are easily identified, the action is fast and furious, and the plot twists and turns uncontrollably. His newest is the story of a crack team of military specialists who discover that the brilliant but warped Cassandra Mubarak is planning to use advanced scientific devices to seize control of the world. To stop her, they must infiltrate her heavily guarded headquarters and rescue the fair maiden in distress. This is action adventure written straightforwardly and not meant to be heavily literary or provide pithy commentary on the state of humanity.
