Dear Friends and Colleagues,

> I have just finished my first novel, Major Tom, and published it on
> Amazon.  Here is the description from the back cover of the print
> version:
>
> “Fellowdelegates, our mission is nothing less than to restorethat hope,
> to give the people of our planet a future they can believe in.To counter
> the despair of war and violence and neglect. We have a uniqueopportunity
> to set an example and create a new future for humanity, to buildthat
> shining city on a hill that will light the way for all.” - MajorTom
> Liping, from her speech to the Space Treaty Conference advocating
> adoptionof the Moon Treaty.
> Major Tom is a realistic,near-future story of two Chinese taikonauts and
> their U.S. counterparts who getcaught up in the race to establish the
> first permanent human settlement on theMoon. Their idealism conflicts with
> national leaders who want their own country’seconomic system and
> political philosophy to dominate. At stake is humanity’sdestiny as we
> leave our home planet and begin our journey to other celestialbodies. Who
> will prevail?
> Major Tom is one part politicalthriller, one part science fiction, and one
> part romance. It entertains thereader while exploring the future of space
> exploration and commercialdevelopment. A must read for anyone interested
> in the next great conflict - andthe next great cause.
> I have attached the first seven chapters, plus the full address of Major
> Tom Liping to the San Francisco Space Treaty Conference.  The address
> is a stand-alone legal/policy analysis of space law and space commerce. 
> That, and Chapter Four ("Conflict") will be of the greatest interest to
> those working in the field.  Those wishing to read the rest of the
> narrative can purchase the complete book from Amazon.
> Thank you for your interest, and a special thanks to those who are already
> working for a better future for humanity.  As Major Tom says at the
> conclusion of her speech:
> "There will be only one time when humanityleaves its home world, only one
> chance to create a new pattern that will leadeach of us, and all of us, to
> our best destiny. That time is now.  Please join inthis effort to
> restore hope and create a better world – and a better universe –for
> all of us.
> "Thank you very much for your time andattention.  May we all find the
> wisdom,strength, and courage to do what is right."
> Sincerely,
