The highly popular SciFi — the supernatural adventure continues ... In book two of The Simpleton trilogy, the story of Cuddy Perkins continues. He’s no longer the same mocked, often tormented, Woodbury, Tennessee village idiot. In fact, he’s quite brilliant, trading his simple, country town existence for a life spent amongst the stars—voyaging on the spacecraft Evermore. Cuddy’s life mission? Help an alien race, called the Pashier, and the being called Tow—the alien who’d changed his life so dramatically only weeks before. Supported by his brother, Kyle—also Tony and Brian, and his childhood best friend, Jackie—the team of five must find a way to combat the vicious Howsh before Primara is annihilated. Undertaking one last-ditch mission, the team must uncover certain hidden truths concerning both the Pashier and the Howsh—two races far more connected than previously known. The answers they seek can only be found in the distant past—in the ancient vaults of Calirah. To venture there, they will go up against vile savage beasts, treachery, and a fleet of alien warships that might be unstoppable. Not everyone in the group will survive. Emotionally and physically spent, en route to their next Interstellar destination, someone new will need their help—someone both vulnerable and powerful.Wonderful alien Contact ScifiCuddy is not unhappy as he lives his life. He has many people who love Kyle, his older brother, his mother who watches out for him every day, his best friend in the world, Jackie, and his dog Rufus who goes everywhere with him. One day while coming back from the store, two mean bullies beat him up and really hurt his dog. His brother finds him and takes him home. Unknown to Cuddy and his family, an alien hiding in the woods sees what happens. When he heals enough to walk, Cuddy and his dog happen to glimpse a man who glows like an angel. This angel makes friends with Cudy.Cuddy, Kyle, Tom, and Jackie become involved with the alien Tow. They fight the bad aliens that chased Tow to Earth trying to kill him.Oh, the wonderful marvelous things they see as they join with Tow and learn more about his story and his mission. Every page is part of a new heroic mission. Human lives are changed forever. Thank you Mark Wayne McGinnis for a fantastical, fun, and enchanting young adult science fiction space opera.- BabbieA MWM SYFY Novel / Sci-Fi Space Opera / New Friends / The Simple QuestMWM has penned the second novel of the Simpleton series. After numerous running gun battles, they finally arrive back at Tow's homeworld and drop the passengers off. After the fact, they make new friends in strange places. One side of the cannot remember why they are still fighting. The look-alike bear no longer remembers, but they continue. This is an excellent read for the genre. Thanks, Mark for an engaging young adult Syfy space opera, the sequel to the Simpleton.. I also highly recommend Junket Untamed Alien Worlds. Absolutely brilliant!- DEHSLove MWM's BooksI love all of Mark's books... Scrapyard Ship, Star Watch, Ship Wrecked, Gun Ship, Guardian Ship, Boy Gone, and his latest, The USS Hamilton series. With the Simpleton and The Simpleton Quest, Mark has taken a slight detour from space battles, and pure hard military science fiction with navy seals and hardcore aliens. In these Simpleton books, Mark shows a more tender side. The books are still full of conflict and tension and entertainment. I loved these books as much as his previous ones. It takes a talented author to write a broad spectrum of situations in closely related genres.
