IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN GOOD FICTION? YES, GOOD FICTION THAT IS OFTEN LIGHTHEARTED, AND FUNNY. Take four relatively naive, exuberant young men in 2047A.D., four beautiful intelligent young women, a cadre of assorted robots, and a very friendly unrestricted artificial intelligence engine. Add one powerful corporate alliance, two drug cartels, and three government intelligence agencies. Mix well, then season with breathtaking innovative technology, and liberal amounts of laugh-out-loud humor, and you have a funny, interesting, and exciting, action comedy future fiction novel; The Shan Creek Gang Chronicle's; "New Beginnings." Although this book is the first in a projected series of eight, it is a complete standalone novel. Ten of the technologies, either mentioned, or fully illuminated in this novel, currently enjoy patent pending status with the United States patent office in the author's name."
