The time for change had finally arrived. Little could anyone imagine how the events surrounding the lives of Darryn Red Horse, a humble Native American , and John Maynard, Republican presidential candidate, would work to change the lives of individuals and a nation as a whole. Red Horse and Maynard met while attending M.I.T., where Red Horse got his PhD. in physics/LASER engineering, and Maynard got his in Poli-Sci. Red Horse worked at the local high-energy laser manufacturing company, engineering systems and parts for Lawrence Livermore National Labs’, National Ignition Facility. (N.I.F.). N.I.F. is researching and studying hot nuclear fusion energy. Red Horse was doing research on his own, and he had found a way to sustain hot nuclear fusion in a controlled environment. Super Computer modeling had proved it! The repercussions would be immense. He took his findings to his best friend in collage and Republican presidential candidate. Together, they had plans to change the world. Rachael Lancaster had paid her dues, ‘in spades’. She had joined the Army out of high school, became an M.P. and excelled. However, when she got out, she had left some business unfinished in Iraq. When she took the test for the FBI, she passed and rose rapidly through the ranks to be one of their most prized agents. Maynard’s assassination was going to be just another in a long stream of gold stars in Rachael’s file, she thought. Robert Edlestone controls the world’s largest energy company Global Energy Resources Inc.(G.E.R.I.) His rise to power in G.E.R.I. had been through contacts and cunning. He’s a shark. Edlestone would do anything to protect his corporation, and he did. ‘LETTING GO’ is an intriguing story about individuals, and society as a whole, having the strength of character, and courage to let go of the bad habits, and baggage of the past, and move forward into a brave, new future that is very real, very bright, and very near.

“Tex” Graves earned a Bachelor’s Degree in electronic engineering in 1974. Before that, he served as a radio- intercept operator/electronic inteligence for four years in the USAFSS- United States Air Force Security Service monitoring the 'Chi-Coms' and European communist block counties. He admits to always being a “techie,” with a lifelong interest in thermonuclear physics, as it applies to sustained nuclear fusion (“hot fusion”). “Tex” currently lives on a homestead he calls 'Buzzard’s Roost' in the Texas Hill Country with his wife Annie, and cat Pumpkin (who answers more readily to the name Piss-Ant). He enjoys traveling, fishing, cooking (especially BBQ), and tinkering. The product of his last “tinkering project” is the weathervane/whirligig pictured in the background of this webpage. He has three daughters, a step-son, and eight grandchildren. "I bleed the RED,WHITE, and BLUE. There's nothing we can't do!" |
