"So, they come equipped with their own transportation then?" Greg asked.
Carl chuckled. "Well, yeah, but they have conventional aircraft, so they would be slower than we could move them. What are you planning?"
"Well, if we could get other bases on board with this, maybe we could at least try to keep it from getting too violent; at least in the larger population centers. We could always work with them to get smaller teams into trouble spots quickly." Greg said thinking out loud. "Why don't Jarad, Lionel, Carl, and I have a talk with the General, and maybe we can all work this out. The other base commanders would be more likely to listen to him than they would to us, I'm sure."
"That sounds like a good idea. That way, it's still their own troops and not us 'invading' them. We might want to see if other countries would be amenable to something like this," Jarad said. "But North Korea, China and Libya are going to be problems no matter what. We're going to have to figure out a way to deal with them with the least amount of casualties."
"I have a rather unorthodox idea for China and North Korea. But as far as Libya is concerned, I think we should let the rest of the Islamic nations handle them," Greg suggested.
"That's a good idea for Libya, but what's your idea for the Orient?" Jarad asked.
"Well, I heard that before she became a politician, the Harclen Ambassador was an actor…" Greg grinned and wiggled his eyebrows.
About the Author
Ben Winston (1965 - ?) was born in Iowa and grew up in Minnesota on the family dairy farm. Upon reaching adulthood, he joined the United States Army as a communications technician. Before getting out of the military, he decided to go to school for computer electronics.
Shortly after getting out of the military, and after getting a new job with an over-seas company, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. A month after beginning the new job, he was laid off due to budget over-runs on the project he was hired for. Upon returning to the United States, he had difficulty maintaining employment because of the chronic illness.
He began writing as a form of stress release, from being home bound and not being able to work, and found he liked writing erotica. Ben wrote a trilogy called the Talosian Chronicles (Currently in rewrite to remove the graphic sex and finalized his vision of the story). The first book, Star Dancer, won awards and was nominated for many others by the online communities where it was posted.
Ben Winston returned to school for literature, after completion, he began writing professionally. Being an avid fan of science fiction he focused on this genre. He was, and still is, influenced and inspired by Gene Roddenberry, Anne McCaffery, David Weber, Isaac Asimov, and Ray Bradbury. Some of his favorite movies and TV shows are; Battlestar Galactica (both versions), Andromeda, Star Trek, Firefly, Star Wars, and many of the B-rated movies that were actually box-office bombs.
