Synopsis

The book is about a labrador retriever owned by a captain John Silverman who is a solo personal of a shuttle space ship to mars that delivers new settlers from Earth to their new Martian home. Usually, John spends the 250 days of flight flirting with single ladies passengers at the shuttle, and Bobik (Robert or Bob) is just getting bored but not during thins particular flight. You see a female labrador retriever boards the ship and with her a huge set of trouble. There are terrorists, some sort of a cult that tries to sabotage the flight according to their belief that earthlings should only live and die on Earth. Captain John, Bobik, Catlin (His newly found cryptologist friend), and Leila (Catlin's female labrador) fight their right for life and do their best to sabotage the fanatics.

The book would be perfect for adventure lovers, and dog lovers in particular. If you ever read any Jack London books about the west and gold rush, his dog and wolf books are the main inspiration for this one.

Sales arguments

  • The Call of The Wild and White Fang by Jack London are few of the classics that were given to us by the western authors from the past century. Bobik was influenced by this kind of books.
  • Recently there was a film shot Starring Harrison Ford about Buck the dog from Midwest being stolen and delivered to Yukon to be sledge dog. The audience really like the movie. I liked it myself I have to admit. I believe the market is ready for another dog book that very likely could turn into a movie.
  • I Adam Prockstem Smith have published over 25 books in the past decade. I have quiet a following I could market to. My experience with words and turning them into stories is very likely selling point that will be noticed.

Similar titles

  • The Call of the Wild (1903). Jack London. Recently hitting the screen (2020) great short story about a dog and its way to freedom. Classics no kid or adult should miss.
  • The White Fang (1906). Jack London. Another Classic by the great author showing how a white outcast wolf saves a human girl and fights both human misunderstanding and animal violence in order to survive.
  • Old Yeller (2001). Fred Gipson. About a rascal dog that protects a family of farmers and cowboys while the head of the family is far away. The question is can the family answer with the same warmth and tenderness to an ugly looking mutt.

Audience

Adults and Young Adults | Dog Lovers | Jack London Fans | Space Action Fans | Travel To Mars Fans

Advance praise

Buddha, Me, and a Cup of Tea by author Adam Smith is filled with inspiration. Its voice is familiar and personal in tone. In the beginning pages, readers are taken along on one of the author’s journeys into Jerusalem. One of the particular lines that I enjoyed so much was, "That day was full of weird, unforgettable experiences, but I think it's what you sign up for when you’re weird by nature." I found it to be beautiful with also a touch of humor. The descriptions that he paints are vivid and surreal. Later, as the book continues, the author provides us with exercises for meditative purposes, as well as tips for defending one’s own self.

I really enjoyed Adam Smith’s Buddha, Me, and a Cup of Tea. It made me want to travel to Jerusalem, to see exactly what it was that he was describing around him. He also created within me this desire to meet new people. And, although unintentionally, he even made me want to be homeless, briefly, although he said it was something he did not recommend. I have lately found myself gravitating to meditation and his book gave me some new terms that I was not acquainted with, such as the term 'zazen.' I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to look outside of the normal constraints in order to find something more spiritual in nature, and perhaps to even find out something about themselves that they would not be able to learn otherwise. A wonderful read!

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
