Texting and Teleporting is an original science fiction action and adventure story that predicts future societies and technologies. I recommend this novel for all readers. In the future, travelers star-surf to distant planets, communicate with cerebral implants, and live in comfort booths that provide rest, meals, and entertainment. The mission to rescue a colony on a distant planet is dangerous. Then Space Marshal Glenn Hunter discovers this is only a hint of an underling conflict that threatens humankind. He leads an army to fight two-ton aliens but he loses control when pirates hack his cerebral implant. Glenn's affection for a star surfer, Ligeia, grows while he battles pirates and aliens. However, an artificial entity, Delphi, has other plans for him.
