MYRON J. MITCHELL* The biota of soils constitute an integral part of both natural and agronomic ecosystems. The soil microflora and fauna in conjunction with the belowground portion of the Metaphyta or higher plants constitute the living milieu, components of which are in intimate association with each other as well as the abiotic constituents of the soil. Since these associations or interactions are important in regulat ing both the flux and availability of energy and nutrients, the central theme of the present book focuses on these interactions. The effects of microfloral and faunal inter actions with regard to overall ecosystem dynamics and specific critical processes will be examined. HISTORICAL ASPECTS The coverage of this volume is an extension of a vast body of literature which dates back to the 18th century. A brief compendium of major books and reviews published from 1960 to 1983 is given chronologically in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Russell (1961) has reviewed work in the 1800's during which some of the basic tenets on the relationships between plant nutrition and soil properties became estab lished. In this period agricultural science was founded and the study of soil bacteriology began. The evolution of soil biology up to the early 1970's has been described by Satch211 in the volume edited by Dickinson and Pugh (1974). *Department of Environmental and Forest Biology, SUNY, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, NY 13210 2 ~ .

Before the events of Fragments, there was one story that had to be told... Destiny: a predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency. Newly promoted Lieutenant Logan Starr thought he was being assigned to a second tour with his flight crew of the Galactic Command carrier Sentry. Instead he found out that he was being assigned to escort duty of some top Military Advisors. As his mission begins, things seem easy...a little too easy. Suddenly raiders attack the escort, forcing Logan and Kari Trask, a young military advisor, to abandon ship. Crash landing on a nearby planet, Logan & Kari must try to find a way off the planet, while dodging the local gangs and raider militia. In their journey, Logan learns that he has been chosen for a greater destiny...one that he has no idea of.

2068...Lieutenant Colonel James Wolfe, U.S. Special Forces Operational Detachment-Omega, volunteered to undergo an experiment that would enhance the abilities of all soldiers in the program, creating the "perfect Super Soldier." Shortly after the experiment was completed, he was placed in cryosleep for future deployment along with others that had undergone the process. 2278...He is suddenly awakened from his cryosleep and discovers that he is the only soldier left from the experiment. Upon entering the outside world, he discovers that in the 200 years he was asleep, nuclear war had claimed the world he once knew. Now awakened to this strange new world, James wanders the Wastelands of what was once the United States of America, searching for answers to the reasons that led to these events. Along the way, he encounters strange mutated creatures, various fractions trying to take control of the desolated area and a few survivor-built towns. The journey for answers has just begun in the first book of the Wastelands Saga. *THIS BOOK MAY CONTAIN SOME VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER READERS*

On the planet Sitara, an old man advised Logan Starr he had been chosen as part of a mysterious destiny. He was also told his destiny was linked to Kari Trask's. Together, they would have to solve the mysterious meaning of this joined destiny. Along the way, they will acquire missing pieces of a map, which will lead them to the answers that lie in an ancient location known only as the Celestial Citadel, or does it? Along this journey, not only will they need to find the missing map pieces, but they will encounter new allies, explore strange worlds, and most of all learn one of their companions is not who they appear to be.

Fragments-a part or piece that has broken off or detached; an isolated, unfinished, or incomplete part; an odd piece, bit, or scrap. Memory-the mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving facts, events, impressions, etc., or of recalling or recognizing previous experiences. What started as a simple test flight of his ship's new systems turns disastrous for Logan Starr, causing him to awaken with missing memories. As Logan tries to cope with the process of regaining his absent memories, an old nemesis from his past emerges seeking revenge. Along the way, gathering and trying to piece back together all of the fragments of his repressed memories, Logan and his friends not only have to deal with the vengeful foe but also with the Federated Galaxy Command pursuing them.
