JSB #25 - Back To China - Dear Reader
Dear Reader
I've had requests for another Jim Scott book, because some readers evidently weren't satisfied with the help he gave Bob Becker in Bigfoot Bait or Pool Of Blood. So here is the requested book, Back to China, Sim Scott Boks #25. In it, the new President asks Jim to help retrieve two topflight physicists from China, where they were taken after the Chinese kidnapped them in a bloody shootout on the streets of Las Vegas. The President is made aware of Jim's capabilities by Tony Henry, now Sir Anthony, the British SIS (MI6) Chief. A previous President, who had served during the time the Janitors were together, happens to be visiting the White House at the time. He also endorses Jim as the man for the job.
A side issue in the book is the matter of a Chinese team bent on assassinating the new President.
When I was just a young lad, the thought of flying at the speed of sound was unheard of. Yet lo and behold, we now have planes flying at much faster speeds. Therefore, reaching the speed of light should not be written off as impossible. While the sci-fi folks have come up with ideas like portals, et cetera, for mankind to travel to the stars, in reality it will have to be done at least faster than the speed of light, to accomplish the job. Perhaps such speed is being worked on at Groom Lake (Area 51). If so, I am well-satisfied we don't know about it. I also hope no one in Washington, D.C. knows about it either, since no one there seems capable of keeping their mouths closed about our technological breakthroughs.
This is the story, in part, of a couple of guys who are working on that very project…in Area 51.
