Distant Challenges: Shirra and Zent's New Life

This is the newest adventures of Shirra and Zent as they make their way from the Univullerum starship to a recently colonized planet. This story entails more mayhem, thrills and mystery, which carries over from the first novel, Distant challenges: Anthony's Adventure.

Shirra and Zent have left the Univullerum Starship and moved on to a recently colonized planet, 'Fronatilla'. Even though they are only looking for a better way of life, there will still be unforeseeable obstacles and tragedies awaiting them and others within the colony. Along with our old starship friends, we also find Hop-R and his robots in crime have managed to escape their negative fate of being destroyed, and will have a second chance at their synthe' lives. This story also includes a host of new characters who will make you laugh as we continue our Sci-Fi adventure...

Gregory Hewitt was raised just off the coast of North Carolina. Having played music from an early age until his mid-thirties, the adage of him being a jack-of-all-trades would be an understatement. After attending classes in the 80's, he began his work as a CAD layout and design person for the next twenty-two years. Gregory has enjoyed reading Science Fiction since an early age, and now follows many science related sites on the Net. He's also written several other non-published short stories and essays, while dabbling in photography, clay sculpting, ceramics, and acrylics. With more time to write after his retirement, it now feels natural for him to sit in front of a keyboard and bang out some of the thoughts and humor that have kept him going throughout his adult life. ***Update: Having had a stroke two years ago, it's taken this long for Gregory to recover from his own tragedy. Now being close to thinking and moving as he once did, he's worked hard to finish his second novel. Hopefully, he'll have more time to finish other stories he started writing a few years back.
