Semi-Terrestrial A New Car


Book Description

Donald and Spider’s family operations are churning, fast and furiously. Nate has taken a distinct dislike to people on the internet who think they can say anything, with impunity. Silver can help with that. Karen does not like the filth on the internet. She is not too happy with the filth, in the American streets, either. Silver can help with that, also. Donna and Donnie have decided that it is time to make something of their lives. And why not? They will be two years old, soon. What should they do? Cure cancer? End the violence in America’s inner cities? Create a multi-billion-dollar business that lifts the residents of those inner cities out of poverty? Why not all of the above? Silver can help with that, as can the rest of their family team. The obstacles of city hall, the unions, organized crime, and, of course, other aliens, are no obstacles, at all, to Donald’s family. The opportunities are limitless, when Silver gains sentience. Spider says that is impossible for a machine to feel. Silver says that the word ‘impossible’ is no longer relevant. He may be correct.




Semi-Terrestrial Extinction Reset


Book Description

Donald and Spider’s family continues to grow. Their multiple, specialized operations continue onward and are doing great things. Not so great things for those in positions of power and those on the underbelly of society, but great for everyone else on the planet. When the twins, Donna and Donnie, take on the ambitious, impossible project of mapping the entire universe, the Waldheim family finds itself living off-world for a year. A lot can happen in a year. A lot does happen in a year. When the family returns to Earth, they discover a human population of less than three-hundred-million and that number is dropping, precipitously. No alien force, microbe, or world conflict has resulted in the deaths of the billions of humans. Something else is at work. The Greys and the Nordics are not going to be any help. It appears that they were the first to be killed. The family has to get to the bottom of things, rapidly. Throw in the Gospel according to Spider, a family operation combatting worldwide human trafficking, an addition of more Saskaç family members, a few kitten family members, and an unprovoked assault upon Donald’s Island by a military coalition of ten nations, and you have just another, business as usual, doing the impossible and making it look easy, romp for Donald’s family. Keep your arms and hands inside the car, at all times.




Semi-Terrestrial Vigilance


Book Description

Donald and Spider are back in the continuing saga of Semi-Terrestrial. Karen and Nate are along for the ride. The Earth has problems, Donald wants to fix them. Drought? Donald has a plan for that, but he needs assistance. Money is no issue. Karen and Nate are on top of that end of operations. Donald cannot turn to other humans for the kind of help that he requires. His reasons are complicated, but valid. Donald must enlist the help of extraterrestrial aliens that share the occupancy of Earth. He does not trust these aliens. These aliens do not trust him. It is the perfect recipe for efficient operation. However, the problems intensify, exponentially, when Donald’s efforts enrage an entire, separate species of extraterrestrial aliens…mean, flesh-eating aliens. Earth is doomed. Unless, Donald and Spider have another plan. Oh, I forgot to mention Bigfoot. Yes, Bigfoot. It seems that…well…you will see.
