After years of effort, Carl Raines finally dials in the correct physics that opens a small portal into the next day, yes, always tomorrow, by folding space using the legendary enigmatic Alcubierre Drive (see Addendum) (see NASA).  After two years of playing tomorrow’s stock market today, Will Burleson uses his new millions to finance a larger Alcubierre Drive Portal that takes him anywhere and to any time.

Will’s cardiologist grandson, Kaid, and his mother Amanda convince the Portal Team to drop them into Ben Franklin’s printshop in 1732.

Travel with Will where his fascination with “The Real Father of our Country” takes the Team to Philadelphia in late 1732 where they become involved in the whirlwind life of young Ben Franklin.  

Franklin Library Curator Professor Dr. Abigail Bearden eventually convinces Franklin to visit 2040. Acting on Will’s lifelong fascination with Benjamin Franklin, the Portal Team brings him to 2040 where he sets off political turmoil and blindsides the Portal team by taking knowledge from 2040 back to 1732, threatening asingularity event in the fabric of the Timeline.

…which sets off an unexpected chain of national disturbances and international calamities, and despite Bill Gates’ theory of an immovable timeline, Ben changes history forever.

In the vastness of the cosmos, where countless stars and planets drift unnoticed, one traveler stirs from eons of indifference. He is no adventurer, no scientist, merely a curious being compelled by an inexplicable urge to investigate a faint signal from a distant, unremarkable star—our Sun.

In his sixth book, David Pickett utilizes the same wisdom and experiences evident in his 10 cutting-edge US patents to create this penetrating exploration of curiosity, AI, and the mysteries of the universe. Traveler! is more than just a science fiction tale—it's a thought-provoking journey into the very essence of discovery.

As Traveler approaches Earth, he finds more than he anticipated. From the electromagnetic whispers of humanity to the chemical intricacies of life on our planet, the AI analyzer on board processes it all. But what will Traveler find? Is there anything truly remarkable in this corner of the galaxy?

Pickett's narrative is deeply rooted in real physics and plausible science, based on cutting-edge physics like the Alcubierre Drive and the Gravitational Effect. This book challenges our understanding of the universe and our place within it.

Accompanied by insightful addendums and appendices, Traveler! is a must-read for anyone curious about the potential of AI, the future of space exploration, and the timeless quest for knowledge.

Join Traveler on his journey of curiosity and discovery, and decide for yourself—what would an advanced being find if they stumbled upon our little planet?

Explore the unknown. Question everything.

Ishmael was born east of the Garden of Eden, in the reign of Caesar Augustus to a noble family of caravan traders ruled by the Candaces, warrior queens who were the daughters of Solomon, and daughters of Adam and Eve’s son Seth and the daughters of Ham, the son of Noah. 

As a young polymath, Ishmael is given the finest tutors from ancient India, the birthplace of math.

His disinterest in the arts of war finally frustrates Ishmael, so his father has him tutored by the legendary warriors of his ancient world, some are princes and even princesses themselves.

Come with Ishmael as he trains with the world’s elite, fights his way through the Horde of the Kahn, defeats the legendary pirate fleet, raiders of the Indian Ocean, and venture with his Grandfather who chases the Star that Hovers to its astonishing location.

This tale covers the keystone period of history and fills in the blanks with The Rest of THAT Story.

This is a story about the great and the fallen, about the hard working and the lazy, about war and peace, and about good and evil.  There is birth and there is death. There is suffering and there is triumph.  It is a story of life.

Take an insider's seat and witness THE REAL TEXAS at the ending of the cowboy era; cars, phones and electricity are new, in real life there are no dime-novel heroes; the enemy comes raiding, the reluctant Marshal; what did he really do? Is this real-life scoundrel, my Grandfather Ross, really the hero of the old west? Were such men behind the curtain of the unexplainable rise of the old West to moder Texas in a decade? And what did one woman do that unknowingly changes history? Based on actual happenings, go with Ross Burleson as he cutthinks Blackjack Pershing, Poncho Villa, Austin and DX as he weaves and executes behind-the-curtain actions that morphed into modem Texas and the heartbeat of America.

And the untold tales of his deputies; indeed, the last of the old west.

Finally, Little known stories of Wyatt Erp, from family lore, newspapers and not in any book. They sure sound true. Don't all books about Old West Marshalls have some stories about Wyatt Earp?

CALL ME MARSHAL is an adventure that rivets together facts, history and reluctant acts that become heroism that is not just fiction or just the same old material.

As an insider, try to keep up with the parsuits, and how the outlaw didn't always have the worst hand.

Acclaimed storyteller David Pickett pulls back the curtain and breaths live into his black sheep grandfather's selfishness springs to strategy and tactics that pull Pancho Villa's fangs. The story about an unexpected conman who did the unexpected. Facts are woven into plausible fiction for a compelling, fresh story.

Desperation is checkmate to morals and good sense. Good people get in the crassfire in many ways.

Anyone who has read the Bible knows the story of Tabitha, or Dorcas / Gazelle.

Why is this little story in the Bible?  What happened before?  And what happened AFTER?

Who was she?  Weren’t there many philanthropic women at the time; and many who wove cloth and many who made clothing from that cloth?   Did they buy the cloth? Spin the thread?  Were Tabitha’s garments common homespun or of commercial trading quality?

Was she a widow?  How did her husband die?  Sickness?  Violence?  If so how did she respond?

How did she die?  What brought on that fever? Most likely an infection, but how?

What do we know?  Question is, what is most likely probable in those times?

Desperation is checkmate to morals and good sense. Good people get in the crossfire in many ways.

This is a story about the great and the fallen, about the hard working and the lazy, war and peace, and about good and evil.  There is birth and there is death, there was suffering and there's triumph.  It is about God’s unselfish gift of His Son to us.

Isn't that life?

Take an insider’s seat and witness WWII Eisenhower; what did he really do?  Who was behind the curtain of the unexplainable successes that led to Germanys surrender? Based on actual happenings, go with Charlie Robertson as he directs strategic events with Generals Eisenhower, Marshal, LeMay and Ira Eaker as they weave and execute behind-the-curtain actions that brought the enemy to its knees.

Ike is an adventure that rivets together facts, history and unwritten heroism that is not just fiction or just yet another viewof the same material.

As an insider, keep up with Captain / Colonel Charlie Roberston as he breaks the Mafia’s hold over unions striking and blackmailing, choking our nation’s strategic war materials plants, changing the rein of the Mafia for 20 years; and with Charlie’s carte blanche from Ike, Marshal and FDR, how does he change the tide in the Atlantic and strategic bombing and then planning the ultimate invasion in the Pacific? 

Acclaimed storyteller David Pickett pulls back the curtain and breaths live into Eisenhower’s go to guy whose strategy and tactics pull the enemies fangs. The story about an unexpected man who did the unexpected.  Facts are woven into plausible fiction for a compelling, fresh story

Desperation is checkmate to morals and good sense. Good people get in the crossfire in many ways.

Tell me what you think.

And in the end, He is Risen Indeed!!
