About the Book

The story takes us beyond Earth, to the rim of the universe, the circle torus or ring symbolizing conservation, in both environmental and spiritual sense. It is a story of hope and prevailing faith.

Through crisis taking yound Todd Weaver from Texas to the far reaches of the universe, he tempers character during exile on Hollyarkia, and discovers the dangers of planetary environmental tampering, like that executed on pond-Earth.

At last thirteen plus years old, reached in a span of nearly thirty years, Todd, along with his satellite-captive friends heads home to the twin planets, born anew under the asteroid belt, as Earth and Mars.

About the Author

Born in Newark New Jersey, January 3, 1943, the author survived a painfully shy childhood that lasted through his high school years. Poor guidance (Project Talent) and inappropriate choices led him to a technical career, graduating in the upper quarter of his class from St. Louis University, summer 1964. The author’s last assignments in the Aerospace industry involved the Space Launch Initiative, or next generation shuttle-type launchers. Lawrence retired summer 2002 from The Boeing Company. The young adult book alternative followed a short flirtation with young children stories and poetry. The four books of the Pond Series are the resulting product of all literary attempts.
