Now late in the afternoon in mid-spring, the typical summer beach crowd visitors were still weeks away. Then Scotty became aware of an odd-looking object, hovering just above the crashing surf. In an age of hobbyist's drones and all sorts of flying gadgets, he wasn't overly concerned until the large flying object moved much, much, closer. A storm was brewing and dark clouds blanketed the sky. Nervously, Scotty turned and tried to spot his house-somewhere off behind the dunes-but it would be sixteen years before he'd see it again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHuman meets alien story with a heart. A must-read Adventure SciFi Space Opera.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have long read Mr. McGinnes' stories and always look forward to his new tales. I started with Scrapyard Ship, then the Star Watch box set, and then Ship Wrecked Stranded on an Alien World, all of them, great action adventure military science fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis one, Boy Gone, is excellent. He develops his characters with a fine hand. They are real and imperfect but interesting. This story also brings in a cautionary note about what could happen if we don't take the time to listen. It's an easy read. Progressing through the necessary background to a hopeful conclusion. I am eagerly awaiting the next part of the journey that this novel promises.- Irene \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow would you feel if faced with this problem?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery interesting concept and well thought out. I could picture the unbelief of listening to the 'wild' tales that were being told and the urgency of the message the 'boy' was trying to get them to believe! This story is a great blend of hardcore scifi and fun space opera- Gwen \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBoy Gone by Mark Wayne McGinnis \u003ci\u003e\/ \u003c\/i\u003eAnother NEW (to me) author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOh boy, oh boy!
