Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for The Elorian Conscript: "This novel has a nail-biting, white-knuckle plot. Fiction thrives on conflict, and this book has conflict in spades. Danger jumps out over and over. This is a plot full of switcheroos. Whom do we trust? Whom are we fighting for? This is a high-concept novel about standing up for our ideals. The Elorian Conscript is a highly entertaining and thought-provoking read." - John M. Daniel: Editor,Writer,Consultant - www.danielpublishing.com "A true page-turner! With The Elorian Conscript, Rob has crafted an imaginative sci-fi/fantasy tale with plenty of action, adventure, intrigue, and even some interspecies romance and interstellar war to boot. The engaging story and compelling characters drew me in, and at the end of the book, I found myself wanting to jump right into the sequel!" - John David Kudrick: Editor, Writer, Consultant www.johndavidkudrick.com Disgruntled assistant plant manager and ex-Army Ranger, Dustin Atropos, is a man of conscience who often feels like he's surrounded by soulless zombies. Living on modern-day planet Earth, it's no wonder Dustin can't seem to find his place in the world. It's no wonder he feels like somewhere along the line he missed out on his true destiny.As it turns out, Dustin didn't miss his destiny. It just took it's sweet damn time finding him. While Dustin is on a fishing trip to sort out his life (and catch all the cutthroat trout he can eat) his destiny picks him up, along with his dog and his truck, and moves him to a new square on life's chess board; four million light years away, in a different galaxy. Thus begins the saga of Dustin Atropos as he fights to stay alive, overcome the devious schemes of his adversaries, win back the love of his wife, and, along the way, save his home planet ... a place he sometimes loves to hate ... a place he, in the past, has had to escape from with his retreats to the mountains ... and a place that, deep down inside, he cherishes with every fiber of his being. Along the way some questions get asked. Some of them receive answers. Some can only be answered in the future. Where are we (humans) headed? What constitutes ethical behavior? Can an Eagle Scout and member of the Order of the Arrow, save the Earth, and possibly the universe? Will Linda Atropos ever get her husband back? What happened to Dustin and Linda's pet German Sheperd, Took? And what the hell is a Nornak? The Elorian Conscript is the first book of a planned trilogy. The sequel is in progress and stands at 60,000 words to date.
