Andrew Barton is an ordinary man with a deep-seated curiosity about science. Even though he has a college degree in Agricultural Sciences, he works in a warehouse driving a forklift. But he wants more from life—much more!

Andrew tinkers in his garage each weekend, buying strange-looking devices from a local college surplus store and working on things he only minimally understands. It’s this lack of understanding, however, that allows Andrew to discover things no one else could imagine.

Mistakes and accidents lead Andrew to places he never thought he could go, taking his friends on perilous journeys and finding world changes in other dimensions he could never imagine would be real!

Lines of Force will take you on adventures you’ll never forget and want to enjoy time and time again. Let Andrew Barton take you to unexplored territory in this book about mistakes becoming adventures!

Author Biography

Drew Bankston lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two amazingly perfect dogs, and a garden.

Before he started writing science fiction, Drew received his bachelor’s degree in Bio-Ag Sciences from Colorado State University. After that, just to shake things up, he never really used that degree but worked various jobs in retail and Asset Protection with some really important people who are way too dignified to be named here. He’s still working but would eventually like to write full-time and stop working for other people. He likes pie and chocolate, as everyone should.

Book Excerpt

Lines of Force: The Weekend Adventures of Andrew Barton

Kota said timidly, “Well then, maybe you should just show them.”
Everyone turned to Kota and stared. She took a small step back, suddenly becoming the center of attention.
Matt thought he knew where this was going, but for the benefit of everyone else there, he asked, “What are you talking about? What’s your thinking on this?”
“Well, if they want to see what you’re doing, they’ll probably figure out how to do it on their own terms, right? But if you just showed them before they’re ready, it might take them by surprise.”
“You know,” Andrew started, “I think Kota’s on to something. Maybe we should just let them know what we’re doing. Give them a show.”
