Sanclem - Book Tour and Giveaway

5/13/2020

Sanclem
by Richard Earl Rice
Genre: Speculative Fiction

A century from now, the California Republic creates a lifetime penal colony for hardened criminals on San Clemente Island, sixty miles off the southern coast. Jesse Long, a dedicated Frisco cop, finds himself exiled to the colony, for daring to take on corruption and misconduct traced to the highest levels of California law enforcement. But Jesse, aided by friends, does the impossible…he escapes from Sanclem and starts a war with the evil establishment. Only two outcomes are possible: the establishment is brought down, or Jesse either dies or is exiled once again to the island.

The pilot settled the craft onto the gray soil, but kept the engine running, ready to abort if any threat developed. Travis opened the egress door, picked up an automatic weapon and stepped outside. The inmates waiting below must know the drill, Jesse thought. None made a move up the hill. The co-pilot came out of the cockpit and approached the prisoners. One at a time, he unlocked their restraints and pushed them out the door.
Travis waited until they had all exited, then herded them away from the helicopter. They stood in an uncertain group, alternately staring at Travis, the aircraft, and the island welcoming committee waiting below. After Travis gave a thumbs up to the pilot, a pair of clamshell doors yawned open underneath and a large pallet of supplies descended on cables to the ground. Travis leaned underneath and disconnected the cables.
“Coming back on,” he shouted, waving his arm in a circle. He scrambled aboard and the pilot lifted off as the egress door and cargo doors thumped to a close. The chopper had been on the ground for less than a minute.
Jesse watched the aircraft climb and turn away. Down the hill voices rang out and the men who’d been waiting at the brush line started dragging wagons up the hill to collect the rations. And to greet the new prisoners. He drew a deep breath, staring at the men approaching, some with wicked grins on their bearded faces as they eyed him and the other arrivals. He didn’t know what to expect, but knew this day was about to get much worse.

Richard Earl Rice is the author of several novels and a variety of short stories.Though he has dabbled in other areas, Richard's main interest is Speculative Fiction, where he extrapolates current events and difficulties from our present society into a near-term future. There, he creates worlds filled with unique problems for his characters to deal with. He tries to make his projections plausible, ones that will perhaps serve as warnings to his readers that we are living in an exponentially unstable time and significant changes can be expected that may not be good for our descendants.

You ask what is speculative fiction. It used to be that any story set in the future would be classified as science fiction. The images SciFi often portrays are space opera, bug-eyed monsters, robot societies or computers running amok. I don't know who came up with the category of speculative fiction, but I like it because it is a better fit for stories like Sanclem, that are set in the future, but are more driven by people dealing with problems unique to a world that has moved on from what we are now living in. If you get a chance to read Sanclem, I'd like to hear from you about it. I think you would enjoy it.

I'm assuming you want honest feedback on the cover. I like the image but it looks cheap. It looks photoshopped. I'm not sure how to fix that but I just feel like it is very obvious that three separate images were spliced together. Sorry!
