| All The Marbles
began many years ago while Dusty was actively involved in Sci-FI conventions, Trekie Meetings and
jumping out of airplanes. After several hard landings and a few of those funny little cigarettes, the plot outline came
into existence.

Starts with a galactic Ma Bell and the equivalent of the Wichita Lineman on
the run from thugs demanding an object Chandra's never even heard of, then
throw in space pirates who steal party supplies, a cat who's even more a law
unto himself than most felines, and oddball planets where the inhabitants
have deified Fifties TV sitcom characters or the drunks in the gutter at
night are lawyers in court by day. It all adds to make All the Marbles a
highly entertaining ride. --Lee Kilhough, author of Wilding Nights, Blood Games and many more. |
Rainbolt taps into the heart of science fiction; all that can be imagined is
possible. "All the Marbles" is fast paced, outrageous, and of a cosmic
scale. Rainbolt will take you on a trip far from home, a trip well worth
taking. -- Gary Moreau, author of ALMOST HUMAN

The first drafts of this story were actually written using an ancient CP/M Kay-Pro computer that is now in the Smithsonian.
The intriguing story revolves around a Turkish Van Cat and his precious secret
cargo. IVan the Terrible is a real "take no Crap" character
who is constantly claiming his space and scratching the crap out of anyone who
sits on him. But rather than listen to someone who hasn't actually read the book,
here are some testimonials to this exciting adventure!
I stayed up half the night reading this book, I couldn't put it down…I had to find out how it ended….

Crossing screwball comedy with space opera, Dusty
Rainbolt’s All The Marbles is a fast, funny take on far-future
shenanigans and some eternal verities, like corporate monopolies and human
idiocy. Readers will love this wild space chase after a mysteriously valuable
object through galaxies far, far away with spunky heroine Chandra Solomon, a
large cast of oddballs along for the ride, and Ivan the top-dog
cat. – Carole Nelson Douglas, author of Cat in a Neon
Nightmare
A humorous romp around the galaxy with an ending that will surprise every reader. Dent N. Ceitkomin - Dallas Morning Picayune

Send me the Synopsis and the first five pages, and I'll let you know
whether to send the whole thing in. Here's the thing, I'm busier than a
cat covering shit on a marble slab right now. - Lynn Stranathan |
Well, you know, Mary Lou, the story is real cute, but you had quite a few misspelt words - Aunt Dot |
