First published in 1987 (ISBN 0-8062-2872-5) this futurist "what if" science fiction story branded the Vietnam Veteran changing his career. He would never find full placement with his Master of Arts Teaching degree in biology, or keep position in the Officer ranks of the military reserves. Instead the direction would be a career of much travel with work in the creative and theater arts, per diem teaching projects and social services often related to corrections or exceptional needs service organizations. Ongoing academic research and applied science will lead to US Patent 10404370 from page 15 of this original sci-fi novel presenting the "Newell Computer Code" and light signal communicator device.
