Books with author Michael Smith

Fixer 13 is the first book in The Forevers, featuring Jayne Wu Jayne Wu is a brilliant and inexplicably-lucky 13-year-old in a future Earth obsessed with its own survival. The Swarm, a meteor field billions of kilometres across, will soon smash through the solar system, destroying all life and possibly the planet itself. The only hope for humankind's survival are the biomes - twelve asteroid-size escape vessels constructed in orbit to travel to and colonize far distant worlds with the best Earth can offer. Jayne - whose nickname is Thirteen - wants only to leave the Nursery, study to be a Technical Electrical Mechanical Fixer and become part of the great adventure. And, of course, play GravBall. But Jayne's mind is extraordinary and she soon attracts attention from the organized crime Consortium, the Sentinels, the World Police and the Forevers - a cabal of ultra-rich who will stop at nothing to subvert society's colonization plans to their own diabolical ends. They all want to use her. In order to survive Jayne must decide who to trust. 5-Star Review by Kim Anisi for Readers' Favorite Fixer 13 by G. Michael Smith is one of those rare books that you can't separate yourself from. I lead a very busy life, but finished the novel in just two days. I was immediately drawn into the life of Thirteen, who might just be 13 years old, but definitely feels more mature than some adults. I really like her and we probably would be good friends in real life. I also liked the way the biomes were described, and how they have such diverse environments. I am sure it would be very interesting to read about the other biomes and visit them with Thirteen in one of the sequels of the series. The plot was exciting and you will be worried about what will happen next - let me tell you one thing: there aren't happy endings for everyone, which I love because "happily ever after" is just for cheesy fairy tales. I prefer the bitter-sweet moments that show more of a realistic side. This novel offered great escape from real life for a few hours, and I definitely would recommend it to fans of the genre.

This book is about Physics and Chemistry. It is based on the notion that all of physics and chemistry can be learned from 40 pictures drawn on paper Napkins. It includes the pictures handed down to us by the early scientists who have gone before us. This book is to viewed by children and students but shared with parents and teachers who will more fully describe the pictures. The book is based on the Socratic Method that a child's questions are as important as adult answers. This book is based on Einstein's insight that "Imagination is More Important than Knowledge."
