MCMURRAY, Pa., Oct. 16, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Humans are irrational beings living in a universe of infinite time and space. Life has its many wonders and unlimited possibilities which man struggles to cope with and understand better. In a world filled with billions of people, very few dare to answer the most profound questions man could ever face. Jump into the universe of author Fred Gaertner whose new book Six Days Till Sunday takes you on a highly philosophical journey to tackle the greatest mysteries behind man's existence.
Six Days Till Sunday is the first of a related series of novels by Gaertner. In this book he tells a story of the enslavement of one racial group by another racial group. He brings Aaron the Wayshower (the author's spokesman) for a visit to America's antebellum South (1855-1857) to oppose the institution of human bondage. Within our galaxy, Earth's sister planet (Aumni) is dominated by the Kingdom of Verde where twenty million whites are enslaved by sixty million blacks. Slavery has long been an economic and social practice of this kingdom resulting in the build-up of great tension between Verde and the other seven kingdoms of Aumni, which do not recognize slavery. With both sides having mighty military power, an all-out planetary war seems likely to happen.
Aaron the Wayshower approaches Prince Vada (the heir apparent of the Kingdom of Verde) in an effort to convert him from slave master to abolitionist. He convinces the prince to translate to Earth and experience life as a Southland bondsman in the year 1855. Will Prince Vada realize the dehumanization behind slavery and change himself before it's too late?
As the story unfolds, it logically answers the most challenging questions that readers will encounter: Why are we here? What's it all about? Where are we going? Why? How long will it take? What happens when we get there? Life after death?... The book is expected to attract readers from the general public.
The eventual assumption of Aaron-like responsibilities will be seen as a logical long-term goal for each one of us! Our reward should be an expanded view of the meaning and purpose of human life. Order a copy today.
