THE PLAN - Book 5: Consequences

By R.W. Frazier

*** THE PLAN - Book 5: Consequences *** The consequences of choices mix with the vagaries of chance in the conclusion of THE PLAN. Blends of tragedy, elation, trauma, vindication, regret, and karma in the prevalent storylines compete with new surprises for the reader's attention. A misguided plan turns to emergency desperation and a calamitous edict. A manipulative plan leads to personal devastation. An intelligent plan and diligent work results in incredible wealth. Merciless cruelty, as a means to altruistic ends, sets up an elaborate ruse and ingenious deception, in search of humanity and justice. Pod Seniors deceive both superiors and subordinates to cover up a mutiny. Squad Officers set a risky short-term strategy for dealing with human enemies, but are ready for all-out war if conditions deteriorate. The Specialist's life ends after helping the prospector and his friends survive multiple murder attempts, but she still plans to have a future influence. Age-old themes, such as abuse of power, loyalty, betrayal, revenge, unintended consequences, and life goes on, get a new twist. Conflicts are resolved and much secrecy is maintained. The surprising origin of the perilous menace to future human civilization is revealed and faces consequences of its own. Is this the end?... Maybe.... Maybe not. ******************** 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 fifth 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.
