The Shadow of Olympus: Book One of the Lowellsville Chronicles

What Happens on Earth, Stays on Earth…not in the year 2048! Inhabitants of Luna's Jules Verne City and the young colony of Lowellsville on Mars learnt that when a new war breaks out in eastern Asia, even vast interplanetary distances are not enough to guarantee their safety.To complicate things further, some water well drillers and fossil hunters from Lowellsville find tantalizing clues that indicate an installation made by unknown builders may be hidden inside the big hill known as William's Bluff. If so, who-or-what were they and are they still there? As a retired, self-employed, real estate broker from North Carolina, and a lifelong reader of great science fiction writers such as Jules Verne and Robert Heinlein. Mr. Smith finally has the time to make his own contribution to the genre. He has received high praise from his readers, such as Bryan Hiatt, a master's degree holder and retailer in North Carolina: "This writer may be the next Michael Crichton!"; and from the Planetary Society: "To see what you should be doing in space, read "The Shadow of Olympus."
