Engleman, Robert Louis: - Robert Louis Engleman is a retired electrician who found pleasure in reading science fiction and fantasy novels from a time, well before TV, while he was in his early teens. When he was eighteen, and still in the army, he wrote his first full length novel. That was actually well before computers believe it or not. The arrival of computers simplified the process greatly, and retirement gave him the necessary time. This book is one of a series of fantasy and science fiction novels that he has called the Lodestone Saga. He lives on a small ranch in Washington State and raises horses, (three, at present), dogs (one, at present) and plays servant to cats (three, also at present). He enjoys horseback riding, skiing, and sailing. He hopes that you'll find even a small portion of the pleasure reading his stories that he had writing them.
