Star Traders: a review

The short-lived television show Star Traders (1972-73) has long been legendary among fans of science-fictional TV with good stories and bad special effects. Canceled after less than two seasons, it was never widely syndicated partly because of the small number of episodes and mainly because of rights disputes in the wake of the bankruptcy of Silver Silo Studios.

A boy has finally become a man. And as a man, he craves adventure. And he is about go through more adventure than he hoped for.

As a boy, he was known as Bobby. As a man he is known as Bob.

This story story is about Bob, and friends he makes along his journey.

One second, Bob was at his job, and the next thing Bob knew, he was on a terraformed Mars, colonized by humanity, in an alternate, future reality.

And the clock is ticking. He has less than forty-eight hours to cross the two-hundred and forty million mile distance, from Mars to Earth. And the mileage is the least of his concerns.

The locals call such a trip, a Comet Run. He is going to call it a miracle, if he can pull it off, in time.

Bob is going to have beg, borrow, and pray, if he hopes to make it back to Earth, on time to return to his home reality.

Unfortunately, he is going to attract attention from all the wrong people. From rock and roll space truckers, to crazy bounty hunters, to corrupt cops.

But, if Bob can keep his wits about him, he just might make it back to Earth, right under the wire.

The horror show is over folks. Now, here is the beginning of the adventurous, fun, third act.

For this is chapter one of book three, “The Student, The Hacker, and The Soldier.”

In the chapter, “Where they are now.”

Caution: Mature Subject Matter Discussed.

We have now reached the climax of book two of this anthology. Rock and her teams finally face off against Chang's organization. With an ending that will probably leave you wanting more.

The the title of the chapter, says it all: “Babes, Boomers, and Badasses.”

Caution: Nudity, Mildly Suggestive Sexual Scenes, and Mild Adult Language.

In the not too distant future, evolution has taken humanity down a different path. In a society where gender is controlled with numbers, one young man finds that being evolved might not be such a good thing.
