While today's real world slowly grapples with the causes and consequences of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the flood of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border of the United States, Stan Rogers, the entrepreneurial hero of Don Anderson's trilogy (Deadly Calm; Seas the Day; and Golden Results) employs a different method. Successful and wealthy due to his skills and vision in the world of technology, Rogers seeks to give back by addressing the global issues of the day. Rogers already has had a great impact on the issues of population control, drug running, illegal immigration, and unsustainable fishing practices. In Golden Results, Rogers turns his attention to energy. Combining both realism and idealism, Rogers cuts through the usual bureaucratic red tape while playing by a set of rules that will address a level field. Not everyone in the story does. Political intrigue includes red tape designed to trip-up Rogers and to marginalize his ideas and vision, while powerful cartel leaders, seeing Rogers' energy project as a threat to their drug routes, play by a different set of rules, trailing death behind them as they try to kill the project. The venue is Baja California and the ocean with the array of fish that live within. Whether the challenger takes on dorado, speedy tuna, strong trevelly, or spectacular tarpon in native waters-or monstrous billfish prowling the oceans with weapon unsheathed-the chance of success or failure looms at any time. So it is when Stan fishes; so it is when Stan addresses a global problem. A strong sense of conservation winds through the story like a line pulled from the reel by a powerful fish yet linked to a fisherman who knows and values the integrity of the sea and its inhabitants.

Personal life stories of Starseeds and ET Hybrids incarnated on Earth. Their purpose for being here is to help other Starseeds awaken, to unite Earth's Star family, and to help expand the minds of Humanity. A Starseed, or Starbeing, is someone who lives on Earth, but whose soul is of Extraterrestrial (ET) identity and origin. This self-awareness and knowledge of having ET origins is what we call being awakened. Awakening to one's true self is a very personal, spiritual and self-empowering journey. This path is most often lonely, challenging and not understood nor supported by mainstream society.

Stan Rogers, a successful software entrepreneur, has a plan to help third world countries speed up their progress into the developing world and to give back some of what he has reaped from the hi-tech boom. He sets off on a journey to visit heads of state and CEO's of large corporations to implement this idea. The vehicle for this trek is his super sportfishing yacht, "Micro Fiche." Along the way he samples world class big game fishing, his other passion in life. Many of these spectacular days of blue-water angling are taken from the real life experiences of the author. Unfortunately, there are those whose special interests are threatened by Roger's scheme for these poor countries. These include a U.S. Senator, former Navy Seal, and a couple of corporation executives. These and other people set out to sabotage the negotiations and Roger's comrades as well. A series of incidents from Cairo, to Baja California, to the Northern California Wine Country brings the reader inside the action as Stan and his fishing buddies attempt to protect, and finally deliver, a library of computer disks back into the United States. The premature revelation of the data and agreements on these disks could very well scuttle the entire project. If you have ever wished for a little more in-depth view into the sport of offshore fishing, the boutique wine business, and a fresh tack on international philanthropy, along with the intrigue swirling around this voyage, pick up this easy reading but thoughtful book.

Here is a book for both the wannabe angler and the seriously afflicted. If it's saltwater gamefishing you are after, you will find the secrets that help 10% of participants catch 90% of the fish. From Barracuda to Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail to Dorado, Wahoo to Marlin, and many other species, you will learn which techniques are common to areas such as Mexico, Australia, Central America, and especially The Pacific Coast of California and Baja California. You will also examine techniques that are uniquely successful in certain local areas of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The author traces fisheries from the 1950's to the present, showing how declining abundance can be overcome by trying new areas, refining techniques, and becoming a student of the hunt for these spectacular fighters. Curl up in front of the fireplace to warm you through the winter months, then take the book aboard to try the tested methods outlined in each chapter. Experts will pick up tips or reaffirm their own systems. Conservation issues are addressed, and some unique, simple ways to cook your catch. And a complete list of fishing terms so you can swap stories using the proper jargon.
