Free Trader

A Cat and his human minions fight to bring peace to humanity.The reviewers had these words: "Engaging characters...fun and interesting...enjoyable and light reading...you won't want to put it down!"Compared to Andre Norton, the Free Trader series takes you to a colonized world across the galaxy where humans and their sentient creations struggle together to build a better world. Not everyone believes. Some think that being stronger means they can take what they want. People suffer, until the Free Trader arrives. He only wants to trade, but the takers have other ideas.Join the Free Trader as he journeys across the world of Vii in search of something better. I'm retired from the Marine Corps, spending time both as enlisted and as an officer. Then I went to law school, took my law degree into business consulting where I became a business diagnostics specialist and leadership coach. I retired from that at age 52 because I was away from home way too much. That's when I started writing full time, and I have not looked back since. This is a great ride! I have a variety of stories now since I've been at this for a little while, lots of short stories so you can see if you like my style. I have a number of best selling novels in categories that matter to me - space opera, military scifi, Space Marine, colonization, and genetic engineering. As a serial daydreamer, it's nice to finally get the stories on paper (virtual and digital paper, that is).Visit my web page, craigmartelle.com for the latest posts and updates or find me on Facebook, Author Craig Martelle.

A Cat and his human minions fight to bring peace to humanity. For readers from 13 to 65, find compelling characters engaged in an adventure of search, conflict, and discovery.An island where experiments on people yield horrific results. An undersea city populated by humans dragged from the beach by unrelenting Bots.The Western Ocean, an untapped source of food and power. The freedom of the open seas. When the AI finds an open ocean exploration laboratory, the Free Trader and his companions head to sea in search of the abducted residents of White Beach.The ocean welcomes them into its embrace as nature tries to reclaim its own, but that's not the worst challenge that the companions face. What creatures lurk beyond the ocean's waves, patiently waiting for new blood?"Immensely Enjoyable! Fantastic story set in the far future on a distant previously colonised planet that has forgotten its past because of one of humanities favourite past-times, war. Being a big fan of sci-fi and post apocalyptic adventures this author has captured everything I love about these two genres and melded them in a wondrous land full of genetically engineered creatures and old technology forgotten by the majority of the humans on the planet. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a good sci-fi adventure." Evan, Five-Star review I'm retired from the Marine Corps, spending time both as enlisted and as an officer.
