If you want a good laugh try saying something like this to a twelve year old and see what happens: “Well son/daughter, let me tell you why doing good is so important.” I can guarantee you will see their eyes roll into their sockets and their brains turn into mashed potatoes. You might as well be puffing air into to their ears because that’s about all they’ll get out of it. Instead of the direct approach, I like the indirect approach. Think about this line of reasoning.
To travel faster than the speed of light you will need to look at space exploration in an entirely new way.
1. The first thing you will need to know is that the universe is connected by rivers of eternity that combine and interconnect with each others like worm holes. These intergalactic worm holes are called space vortexes. A space vortex is made of pure flowing intelligence, energy so elementary it has a consciousness of its own.
2. The space vortex flows outside of the dimension of time. It is eternal in nature; therefore it cannot be corrupted or manipulated. To enter a space vortex you need to call it with music. If it likes your song, it will let you in and drop you off where you musically told it you wanted to go.
3. Once inside a space vortex all decay stops, time ceases to exist and distance becomes meaningless. Eternity is multidimensional and non-linear. Once inside the space vortex your body stops functioning because it is a machine that burns energy to function.
4. In the space vortex your eternal soul comes alive like it has never been alive before. It remembers everything you have ever done, good and bad, light and dark and it judges it against what you know you should have done.
5. If your soul has been strengthened by your good deeds it will fill you with light and happiness and take over the function of your body. If you haven’t done what you know you should your soul will wither and try and hide leaving your body in absolute torment, unable to live, and unable to die.
6. Who wants to go for a ride in a space vortex right now? What would you do to get ready for a space vortex voyage?
Captain Justo from the Planet Is is based on the rules of the space vortex. Being good isn’t just the right thing to do; it is the only way to survive a space vortex voyage. To lie, cheat or steal is to bring on almost certain death if you choose to enter a space vortex so unprepared.
There are so many other themes it is hard to mention them all. What if there were people on other planets who believed in the same basic theologies that we do? What if their origins were the same? What if through science or intelligent design people from our own planet mixed in with theirs? What part does music play in gravity or anti-gravity? What kind of principles would need to be taught to enter into a space vortex? How would someone who traveled in a space vortex be different from a regular person?
The answers to these questions are rolled into an engaging story that keeps you guessing what is going to happen all the way to the end.

About the Author
Captain Justo from the Planet Is stands as a monument to Stephen’s perseverance in finishing something he believes in. It has played such a major part of his life the writing and production of the book must be included in the biography of the man.
Stephen Miller was born in Provo, Utah in 1962. While attending high school, Stephen won several statewide debate competitions and received high marks at statewide drama competitions for two years running. His school took State both years.
He met his future wife, crowned Miss Payson, while attending school in Payson. After graduating with honors, Stephen took on more adventures by joining the Utah Air National Guard. He later served the people of Brazil for two years without pay. Captain Justo is named after the Portuguese word justo, which translates into the just or righteous. Captain Justo’s home town of Petropolis is modeled after a beautiful mountain town near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Upon returning from Brazil, Stephen attended Brigham Young University where he studied the Portuguese language, Aerospace Studies and Physics. The love of flying machines, languages and physics are core concepts in his writing. He was a member of the Air Force ROTC for four years.
While he lived in Sacramento, California, serving in the U. S. Air Force, Captain Justo from the Planet Is was first told as a bedtime story to his children. It was so loved, he was urged to write it down, and Captain Justo from the Planet Is became a rough draft. After several more years, the manuscript went through further modifications which added depth and meaning to the story.
Stephen took a break from writing Captain Justo and finished his first published book entitled The Home Buyer’s Coaching Clinic, also published by TriQuest Publishing. The publishing experience was very positive. It encouraged him to keep writing his science fiction work. Captain Justo from the Planet Is was completed in the early months of 2008. After over 15 years in development, not only the philosophy, but the characters and the final plot of the book were finished.
Stephen has also written other works. He wrote the music for “Christmas Time Again” and “Possum City USA” in 1997 and 1998 and wrote and produced “The Peddlers Muse” in 2005. He is working on a CD with his wife Edna, who is a classically trained vocalist. He is currently getting an MBA from the University of Phoenix which, when completed, will form the basis of his next installment of the Isian Series. Stephen and Edna have seven children and three grandchildren.
