This is an epic adventure story, the first in a series of soon-to-be five, that will take you below this earth, over mighty oceans, even beyond the stars, to find a place where this orphan can fit in. “Even though this book is written for a younger audience, I found myself more than once, tensing up a little bit wondering how Jimmy was going to get out of whatever the current predicament. The lessons in this book are well presented: bullying is bad, but you can overcome; confidence in yourself is powerful; beauty comes from the inside.”

Endowed with a bright red mop of unruly hair, big blue eyes, a small snub nose, pointed ears and enormous feet, Jimmy was ridiculed by the neighbourhood children and decides to run away. In his midnight flight through the forest, he stumbles into an underground world. He discovers and rescues the town of Roombelow from the curse of the sleeping spell, cast by Matilda the Witch, and is ‘adopted’ by Mr McDonald, the Mayor. Matilda and Gemma, the little lady who lives at the bottom of the well, but doesn’t know how she got there, become Jimmy’s close friends.

When rain threatens a flood, with the help of The Great White owl, Jimmy locates the sleeping Weather Man who turns off the rain.

The well dries up and Jimmy and Gemma search beneath Roombelow. A giant eel has plugged the flow of water from the spring that fills the well. They return Olsen to the sea and restore th flow of water to the well.

Jimmy visits Aunt Ethel to let her know that he is well. She explains that Jimmy is an orphan from the starworld of Attalia and hidden in the forest is a starship which could take him home. Jimmy chooses to return to Roombelow.

Roombelow is threatened by one-eyed trolls and Jimmy outwits Erg, their chief. His return to Roombelow is delayed by a cry for help from the cliff-side world of Lithuania. It is inhabited by little people, the Diamonites who look just like Gemma.

Jimmy returns to introduce Gemma to her lost family. Lithania relies on a supply of goods from The Traders but two of them are stealing diamonites. Jimmy seeks justice but Gemma is kidnapped by the thieves who intend to sell her as a curio in their land across the ocean.

Jimmy seeks the help of Witch Ira, Queen of water sprites, when he sets sail in pursuit. He discovers where Gemma is imprisoned and rescues her but their escape is threatened by a mighty storm – Ira’s magic helps again. Then, with the aid of a pod of dolphins, they safely reach home.

Jimmy decides it is time to visit his birthplace – star world Attalia. The hidden starship is reactivated and heads homeward through the stars.

The ship is damaged during a skirmish with Kursh, the head of the planet Ock. Jimmy abandons the starship, ejecting in a life support capsule.

The Attalian Rescue Mission saves Jimmy and he is befriended by its Commander, Zaru. On Attalia Jimmy is welcomed by President Alpha, who awards him the honorary rank of Commander. There are no surviving members of Jimmy’s family.

Tension builds as they face an attack from Ock and interplanetary warfare follows. They repel the invaders but Kursh plans to rule over Attalia.

Jimmy devises a plan to close the time warp linking Attalia to Ock. The destruction of the warp maroons Kursh in nether-space. Once continued peace is assured Jimmy decides to return to his family of friends in Roombelow.

If you have ever sat at the knees of a family member or neighbor who regaled you with their wild stories and hard-earned lessons, you have probably learned a thing or two about how others’ stories can help prepare you for life. Through Boy to Successful Man, you will gain invaluable information from two authors who have seen it all.

For anyone who feels misunderstood, for anyone who feels angry, for anyone who feels lost-this book is for you. There is no shame in feeling trapped or confused by the expectations for you to grow from a boy into a man. This book is a tool to give young men great lives, no matter their circumstances.

In Boy to Successful Man, Rico Austin PhD and Dr. Suave Powers have collaborated to create a literal “pocket” book of advice for young men. Specifically, it caters to young men who may not have had the guidance of a father figure. Each chapter teaches basic lessons, often through short, anecdotal stories of Rico’s life. Many of the lessons are simplistic, but that is exactly the point. This is a book of the basics for anyone whose education is lacking. In today’s fast paced world, there are not many people who will go out of their way to ensure that the gaps in others’ educations have been filled. Rico Austin and Dr. Suave Powers do exactly that within the pages of Boy to Successful Man.

In addition, Rico Austin shares information about his upbringing, which many would call challenging. However, he does not write solely for individuals who have been raised in similar situations. His advice is ambiguous and versatile enough to apply to people from all different backgrounds. Whether one has grown up in a family with an absent father or with well-meaning parents who were simply too busy to instill life lessons into their children, Uncle Rico’s advice holds true.

The authors of this book boast a great deal of credibility. Both are highly educated with multiple degrees, and they often reference quotes by experts. These experts range from Ernest Hemingway, to Lil’ Wayne, to Eleanor Roosevelt, to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to Mahatma Gandhi. (The level of exposure that readers gain from the quotes themselves is noteworthy!) In the chapter about education, Rico Austin states that, “education, in its general sense, is a form of learning in which skills, knowledge, and habits of a group of people are handed down from one generation to the next.” That is precisely what the quotes shared in this book are intended to do-pass on a great deal of wisdom from previous generations. Overall, Rico Austin and Dr. Powers’ advice reads as a family member providing guidance to a beloved child. It is clear that each chapter in this book has been written from that same place of concern and care for our future generations.

During one of his travels to Brazil, the protagonist received by radio a message in Morse code in which a mysterious Russian, embarked on a Yugoslavian motorship moored in Rio Grande do Sul, asked him for a meeting, upon his arrival to that port, scheduled after a few days. During the meeting, which the young man had accepted out of pure curiosity, the Russian proposed to him a vague collaboration with a transnational organization with not very clear contours. He refused, but the Russian, to convince him, announced that the next destination of the s/s Bayhorse, the ship on which the young officer was embarked, would be Jacksonville, Fl, USA. Since no one could know it at that moment, not even the shipowner who usually concluded all chartering contracts, time by time, he did not believe the Russian and thought of a hoax even if made for inexplicable reasons.

When, a week later, the captain of the Bayhorse, as soon as he heard the news of the new destination from the shipowner, communicated it to all officers and was precisely the one indicated by the Russian, the young man wanted to meet him again to deepen what had been told earlier. During the second meeting the Russian was not much more detailed in the explanation but told him that a mysterious object had been hidden in the first-aid room of the ship, and the young man was to deliver upon his arrival, to an appointee, who would also provide him with all the details about the future collaboration. He, driven by his innate curiosity, accepted and once sailing, he struggled to find the mysterious object hidden on board. After delivery on arrival, the appointee did not have time to provide enough details but informed him of another similar item to be delivered to the next port, this time to Bombay in India, where every aspect, until at that time mysterious, would be clarified.

During the meeting in India he was proposed to collaborate with this organization, The Phoenix, which operated worldwide and had unlimited financial resources and technologies unthinkable in those years. He was chosen because he was considered fit for the task they would assign to him, on the basis of some mental analyses to which he had been subjected without his knowledge. He accepted because he fully agreed with the goals the Phoenix wanted to achieve in the long term. After a few trips on board of s/s Bayhorse, during which he had the opportunity to verify the extraordinary technologies at Phoenix disposal, he was asked to disembark and reach their underground base, in the desert of Nevada, in the United States.

At the base he discovered a world unknown and wonderful to him. The technologies they had were so advanced that in the 1960s no one would even have guessed them. What astonished him most, was the way of transferring information from a computer archive directly into the human mind. He himself underwent gradual notional treatments that took his knowledge to unthinkable levels before then. Gradually his position grew in importance in the organization, until he reached the highest levels of management and joined the Council, after receiving the final notional treatment. At that point it was clear to him many political, economic and social events that had occurred in the last fifty years that had been communicated to the masses but adapted for political, economic or military purposes. The Phoenix archives had the true answers to all the mysteries of that time as its external agents, working in the shadows, discreetly sought to influence the various governments. The ultimate goal was to achieve, for all the inhabitants of the planet, a coexistence and a well-being equally shared and to guarantee everyone an individual freedom that, however, was prevented from turning into a prevarication for others. At that time it was still utopian, but over the next hundred years, the target, that the Phoenix had set at the beginning, will be fully achieved.

The protagonist at the age of 70 retires with his wife to a ranch in Arizona and his place will be taken by his son, but only his grandchild will see, the results of his work.

In the following years, The Phoenix worked in the shadows to influence governments to practice more supportive policies not subjected to international financial powers. When, within a hundred years, the Earth becomes a single nation populated by wealthy people, without conflicts, racism, economic rivalries, The Phoenix manifests itself to the masses and publicly offers all its technologies making them available to all, for the common well-being. At this point the world government entrusted The Phoenix with scientific research and the exploration of the space. One of the most valiant commanders of spaceships will be, indeed, the grandson of the young wireless officer.

After a boy named Kimbo is kidnapped from the jungles of Africa while on his first hunt with his father, we learn of his journey through a book of recollections he wrote once he became a man, wherein he describes the life he’d led while in America as the slave of many masters. He eventually gains his freedom with the help of a minister who becomes his dearest friend. Let me encourage you to read the reviews on amazon or elsewhere, from those who’ve read it. The following is an excerpt from the award winning book, The Slave’s Diary.

“She stopped rocking and pulled the pipe from her mouth and held it in her wrinkled hand.

“Well, now, how do you s’pose you’re gonna eat it if ’n yer hidin’ in them there woods?”

Leaving the safety of the brush, I walked slowly up to the porch and told her my name.

“Hmmm. Rastus, is it? I like it. It’s a good strong name. I knew a Rastus once. A good man he was, an’ kind to animals too. Well, what are ya standin’ there like a lump fer? Come on up here and set fer a spell an’ tell me about yerself, Rastus.”

“Thank ya, kindly ma’am, don’t mind if I do.”

“You might jest as well call me Miss Owens. Evrabuddy else does.”

She patted the chair next to her and told me to sit for a while and talk with her.

“So tell me about yerself, young feller.”

I told her my story, and I mean everything. Well, almost everything. I told her about how I was a boy when I came to America from Africa, and then about Jed an’ Miss Kassie, and all about the Masters I had. But I didn’t tell her anything about Lizbeth ’cause it just didn’t seem like a good idea.

She seemed real interested when I talked about the draft horses I used to work with, and laughed when I told her some of the things that happened while I lived with Miss Kassie and Jed. But when I told her that I was a set-free man, she tipped her head and looked at me over top of her spectacles, almost as if to say out loud that I was a liar. I don’t know how she knew it, but I could tell that she knew. But instead of calling me out on it, she started to tell me about herself.

She was married for a long time to a man called Wilbur, but he died almost a year before from something called the pox.

“Tain’t been an easy road, son, but this homestead’s been paid for in bitter coin. If it wasn’t the Injuns, cold weather, or poor crops, there was always some kinda illness tryin’ to git us to move on. My man Wilbur was a fine man, Rastus, an’ I think he’d a liked you. Did I tell you Wilbur was a horse man jest like you? He’d go on an’ on about it, always talkin’ about raisin’ them dang horses and makin’ it big by sellin’ ’em to the rich folks in the Bay Colony. A course he never got around to it other than all the talkin’, but a man has to have his dream now, don’t he, Rastus?”

She stopped talking and looked at me as if waiting for me to speak.

“So tell me, young feller, what’s yer dream about?”

I didn’t know what to say. I wasn’t sure I even had a dream apart from being free, which I already lied and told her I was.

“I don’t reckon I have a dream Miss Owens. Leastwise, nothin’ I kin think of. An’ tha’s okay ’cause I don’t aspect a whole lot outta life other’n what I already got.”

She looked at me kinda serious like and told me that that was just crazy talk. Then she leaned her chair toward me and pointed that corncob pipe my way and shook it at me.

“Now you listen to me, Rastus, ’cause I’m an old woman an’ I know what I’m talkin’ about. If a body don’t want much outta this life, then by golly that’s usually all they’s ever gonna git! Not much! Now you got to reach down deep inside yerself an’ think on what makes ya happy. An’ what it is that makes ya happy that you ain’t got yet, well, that kin be yer dream. Can ya see what I’m sayin’, boy? A body hasta have dreams. It’s what keeps us goin’.”

She put the pipe between her lips again as I lowered my head and thought about what she said for a bit before saying anything. Her words made a lot of sense, and I thought about it hard for a few minutes more before a smile came onto my face.

“Well then, I has a dream, Miss Owens. I think I wants ta go home. Yes, that’s what I wants. I wants ta go back home to Africa someday.”

She pulled the pipe from her mouth and smiled at me.

“Now that’s a good dream to have, Rastus, a real good dream, an’ I hope ya git it one day. An’ soon too.”

She stood up after some effort and asked me if I’d like some of that apple pie. “For it goes to spoil,” she added…”
