Pollux Paradox

By Ben Winston

The Citadels were the pinnacle of law and order in the Empire. They served as centers for trade and kept the peace in thousands of solar systems for centuries. Fleeing the destruction of their own Universe, one of these mighty stations arrived in ours, taking position in the atmosphere of Saturn. The only survivors were two doctors and the multitude of AIs that ran the station. Looking to Earth to repopulate the Station, a young man is selected to become the new biological half of the Controlling AI named Pollux. In addition to becoming the human half of an ancient computer, he learns of a major problem on Earth.

Ben Winston

Ben Winston (1965 - ?) was born in Iowa and grew up in Minnesota on the family dairy farm. Upon reaching adulthood, he joined the United States Army as a communications technician. Before getting out of the military, he decided to go to school for computer electronics. Shortly after getting out of the military, and after getting a new job with an over-seas company, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. A month after beginning the new job, he was laid off due to budget over-runs on the project he was hired for. Upon returning to the United States, he had difficulty maintaining employment because of the chronic illness. He began writing as a form of stress release, from being home bound and not being able to work, and found he liked writing erotica. Ben wrote a trilogy called the Talosian Chronicles (Currently in rewrite to remove the graphic sex and finalized his vision of the story). The first book, Star Dancer, won awards and was nominated for many others by the online communities where it was posted. Ben Winston returned to school for literature, after completion, he began writing professionally. Being an avid fan of science fiction he focused on this genre. He was, and still is, influenced and inspired by Gene Roddenberry, Anne McCaffery, David Weber, Isaac Asimov, and Ray Bradbury. Some of his favorite movies and TV shows are; Battlestar Galactica (both versions), Andromeda, Star Trek, Firefly, Star Wars, and many of the B-rated movies that were actually box-office bombs. To clear up some misunderstandings Ben Winston is NOT Michael McClain. They are different people who own Blue Space Publications, LLC. together. They are friends and roommates and have been for a long time.
