    About this ebook

    Two adventure stories packaged together! In “Rallying Cry,” an aimless youth meets two old geezers who spin bizarre war stories. They tell of a secret World War I regiment in France with ship-sized helicopters and mechanized walking tanks. Just as an inspiring shout can move soldiers to action, perhaps all Kane really needs to turn his life around is a rallying cry. In “Last Vessel of Atlantis,” a ship captain and his crew of explorers return to find Atlantis gone. While facing violent savages, braving fierce storms, and solving internal disputes, they must somehow ensure their advanced Atlantean civilization is not lost forever.

      Rallying Cry (Story)

      Chapter 1

      Kane Jones felt like he’d entered a video game set in some bygone era. Two geezers looked up at him from where they sat, each in a wheelchair, playing cards at an old oak table. Each face bore more wrinkles than Kane had ever seen on just two people. He wondered whether dinosaurs had manufactured their radio: a wooden box with large knobs and a bent coat hanger sticking out. A news program blared from its speakers. A film of dust covered the TV on its credenza as well as its remote. Few decorations adorned the room, except a number of framed family photographs.

      Maintenance, Kane repeated loudly. He’d used his key to enter the room only after knocking and shouting for several minutes from outside the door. Someone called about a leaking sink faucet.

      Eh? the old fossil on the right asked. He looked like he might once have been stocky, but that was before time had collapsed his body.

      He’s here to fix my sink! the one on the left shouted at him. That man’s face and body looked too thin and cadaverous to be alive, but Kane decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

      Less than a month into his term, the voice on the radio said, President George W. Bush spoke today to troops in Fort Stewart, in Georgia . . . The man on the left switched off the radio.
