On Moving Mountains

The author is a sea captain, offshore sailor, beekeeper, and licensed trapper. Besides writing books, he was one of the pioneers who figured out how to design large silicon chips with a computer - the essential step for the rapid evolution of electronics as we know it today. This is his first novel. He writes, because he has a lot to say. Quoting Robert Heinlein, he believes that a human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, write a sonnet, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, butcher a hog, design a building, solve equations, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Michal and Danna fall into this category.
