THE PLAN - Book 4: Sacrifices

By R.W. Frazier

***THE PLAN - Book 4: Sacrifices*** As individuals and groups pursue their objectives in THE PLAN, sacrifices mount. Sacrifices are inevitable in achieving worthy goals. They are often necessary, even when pursuing dastardly, selfish acts. Some sacrifices are freely given; some are grudgingly accepted; some are ruthlessly imposed; some are totally unexpected; some are borne by innocents, who deserve better. The prospector should be quite vulnerable to the traps set up by his adversaries, yet somehow he always manages to escape. The advanced civilization is frustrated that the ultimate sacrifice cannot be imposed on him for the benefit of humankind. His earthbound enemies share the mounting exasperation; their hatred for him grows. The even more advanced civilization is providing some help to Granger, but it largely relies on the prospector's own ingenuity to keep its plan on target.Unique miners are hired by the prospector's competitor. Cowboys trap mustangs. The Squad contemplates drastic actions on a different front. Everyone is anxious when Granger disappears. The Specialist suffers multiple injuries. The Pod awaits decisions from superiors. A 3D effort fails. The Marshal's legwork pays off, but he is not satisfied. All is in transition as the story continues. ******************** THE PLAN, a five-book novel (quinogy) by R.W. Frazier, is a nineteenth century Western blended with a Sci-Fi vision.... The adventure and charm of the Old West, wrapped in the intrigue and excitement of a unique space opera.... An intricately-plotted story with romance, action, bold scientific concepts, thoughtful social insights, witty popular-fiction references, and nuanced plot twists. Unknowingly, an 1878 prospector's plan for success may trigger an extinction event on Earth... a Yellowstone supervolcano eruption. He is recruiting new friends to help his gold mining efforts, but also making enemies who are intent on stealing his ideas and eliminating him. A hidden organization, bent on protecting humankind, plans to stop the mine work and forestall the extinction disaster. However, another deep-space group, hidden even more thoroughly than the first, intends to foil any plot to eliminate the prospector. That group wants the supervolcano eruption accelerated, and the prospector serves as its needed catalyst. Complicating everything are the plans of other intelligent species, who are sabotaging human worlds. They present humankind with a threat far more dangerous than a supervolcano eruption.This book is the fourth of five that cover the full story. THE PLAN. You will be glad you read it. ******************** Everyone has a plan. The plan may be immaculately structured, with incredible detail and a rigorous action schedule. It may be only a passing intention, barely started before being discarded at the first hint of inconvenience. The plan could be a mere hope or dream. It could be so vital that civilizations and cultures may not survive without it. The plan is never perfect. The plan is ever changing, evolving, growing or shrinking, perhaps succeeding brilliantly or failing miserably. Usually, the plan proceeds as a mixed bag of all possibilities. For everyone, the plan is life.... The ideas that each of us have at a particular time about how to get through life, how to make the most of life, how to enhance life, how to perpetuate life... or end it; that's the plan.
