Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to announce that the *softcover* edition of my new original science fiction novel, "Greater Good" is now available!

The 400-page paperback sells for $12.62 (pocket paperback size, but priced by the company the way a trade paperback would be) through Lulu.com. You can find that paperback edition for sale right here:

I have made this available as a non-profit publication because I really would like to see as many fans of my podcasts, Echoes, and other work as possible to be able to check it out.

With that in mind, making the novel a "non-profit" project also allows me to make an Ebook version of the softcover edition available online as well, for FREE. Personally, I would not want to read a 400-page novel on my computer screen, but for those who enjoy long ebooks, it is available for free right here:

A hardcover edition should be available later this month, but I am still awaiting my "proof copy." The hardback has the same font and size, so it covers the same ground in less pages (250 or so). The hardback will be selling for $19.08 (also non-profit) with a free Ebook version of that edition available as well.

Once both are available, I will release a special episode of The Butlerniverse to discuss the project in greater detail without spoilers, but, until then, know that it is a time travel story that deals with questions of genocide, security vs. freedom, moral issues, and telepaths/telekinetics.

The (somewhat generic sounding, due to length) cover text reads as follows:



In the world of tomorrow, the American Regime dominates our hemisphere, ruled by a new nobility: telepaths. While this powerful new minority rules over the normal human majority, society enjoys stability and security. However, with this new world comes new prejudices and oppression.

Now, a powerful telepathic killer from the future has come to our present to eliminate this new world - a serial killer today, a genocide for tomorrow. It is up to a law enforcement officer from the future and an unwitting FBI agent to stop him before he can act in the name of the...

GREATER GOOD



I really hope you'll check it out!

Again, I'll let you know when the hardcover is available for those who are looking for a little bit better of a "Lulu price vs. bookstore style price" balance.

Thanks for your support, everyone!
