But Love's Objected
"But Love's Objected" is a science fiction/fantasy novel by Joseph Dussourd which examines the practical and philosophical conflict that exists between debit- and credit-based economies as mining colonies are established on the moon, and as the middle class begins to colonize the solar system. "But Love's Objected" depicts these issues as a conflict of personalities between the two main characters, John Jake Jackson, and Richard Mendel Bellbridge, who are hopelessly deadlocked over the separation of church and state, and the value, cost and role of organized government as the earth-based economy faces collapse and as mankind begins to push out into the colonization of space. One will not survive this conflict. "But Love's Objected" is not a typical sci-fi adventure with aliens and ray guns and heroic humanoids; it addresses some of the most profound issues facing mankind as we enter the new mellinium.

Amistad's Orphans
The lives of six African children, ages nine to sixteen, were forever altered by the revolt aboard the Cuban schooner La Amistad in 1839. Like their adult companions, all were captured in Africa and illegally sold as slaves. In this fascinating revisionist history, Benjamin N. Lawrance reconstructs six entwined stories and brings them to the forefront of the Amistad conflict. Through eyewitness testimonies, court records, and the children’s own letters, Lawrance recounts how their lives were inextricably interwoven by the historic drama, and casts new light on illegal nineteenth-century transatlantic slave smuggling.
