Novels and short story collections available from Jerry Oltion

ABANDON IN PLACE in Hardcover or Trade Paper
     The ghost of the space program returns to haunt NASA in the form of an
Apollo rocket that appears at Kennedy Space Center, fully fueled and ready to
launch. Of course somebody takes it for a ride! What happens next will
probably not be what you expect. The first section of this novel won the
Nebula award for best novella of 1997.

THE GETAWAY SPECIAL in Hardcover or Trade Paper
     A mad scientist invents a hyperdrive engine that will take people to the
stars with hardware they can buy for a few hundred bucks at Radio Shack. The
exodus from Earth spawns trouble near and far, trouble that the inventor and
some newfound alien allies have to fix before humanity blows up its nest.

ANYWHERE BUT HERE in Hardcover
     Sequel to THE GETAWAY SPECIAL.  The human exodus from Earth is well under
way. Trent and Donna Stinson, of Rock Springs, Wyoming, seal up their pickup
truck for vacuum and go looking for a better life among the stars, but they
soon learn that you can't outrun your problems. America's belligerent foreign
policy is expanding just as fast as the world's refugees, threatening to
destroy humanity's last chance for peaceful coexistence. When their own
government tries to kill them for exercising the freedoms that people once
took for granted, Trent and Donna reluctantly admit that America must be
stopped. But how can patriotic citizens fight their own country? And how can
they succeed where the rest of the world has failed?
