In the last year of mandatory school each soon to be graduate takes
a multitude of tests to efficiently funnel them into the right
career. Personality profiles showing you to be low IQ, bigoted and
prone to senseless violence really increase your chances of being
denied. Scores mean enough to tempt test takers to cheat using
answer sets bought from sketchy characters. You don't always get
what you pay for though you may still live a life of extraordinary
adventure as Felix Dernoft discovers in Destined for...Something, a
Next You novel.
If you had the option to come back after death, what would you want
to be? Still want to be human or would you like to try something
different? How much is it worth to you? Live in the extra-solar
human civilization and experience your next incarnation in Next You
Interstellar, LLC.

splinters into many different yet similar iterations of himself.

The Earth is hurting from radioactive wastelands, over crowding and
a xenophobic fear of the inter-system alliance. While adapting Next
You Interstellar LLC donated technological innovation to reclaim
areas of Earth made uninhabitable by wars of the past, religious
and ethical movements threaten to unleash more war. How many people
are too many? What can aliens and alien technology do to nudge the
balance between war and progress? Read Having Nice Things, a Next
You novel, and find out.
What happens when a Graduate student competes for a PhD in a
dystopian society by experimenting with dangerous alien technology?
Does humankind need technological help to leave Earth? These and
other questions are awkwardly dealt with in The Legacy of Daddy.
The first real sci-fi I have read since Ender's Game. Angus Day is
a master engineer who makes science and literature merge
seamlessly, and apparently with an ease I envy. Legacy of Daddy is
an amazing journey, at times witty, heart breaking, at times heated
and sexy, it was simply true to emotions we as humans feel
throughout our tiny lifetimes. You can discuss this book on so many
levels, you can debate over ideas and ideals, or just simply kick
back and enjoy the ride. Angus Day challenges you, demands that you
think outside of your magnificent brain and get your hands dirty.
Politics, hierarchy, scheming, conspiracies, love, hate, revenge,
secrets, it's all here J.S. Turner
