Hank was a dying breed on the space station Belvaille. The criminal gangs that had once made their homes there were forced out by the corporations that had taken over since the facility became an Independent Protectorate.Instead of the gentlemanly gang wars that had once dominated the scene, and made Hank's services prized as a negotiator, the city was now plagued by the clash of corporate armies using heavy weapons. Even tanks roamed the streets regularly.Most everyone from the olden days had either fled the station or was killed due to the organizational changes. Changes that Hank personally brought about when he had negotiated Belvaille's status with the Navy.As Hank contemplates whether he can survive in this increasingly hostile environment, he realizes that things aren't as bad as they seem--they are quite a bit worse. The constant power plays among corporations might have further reach than just the alleys of a backwater space station at the edge of the galaxy.NOTE: Sequel to Hard Luck Hank - Screw the Galaxy

Dad, before you go to work, explain what I’m seeing on TV. It seems like cops are only shooting people who look like me. With the growing number of police shootings, communication with our children is very important to ensure their safety. Are Cops Only Shooting People Like Me? presents a poignant conversation between a concerned son and his father about why encounters between citizens and law enforcement can get out of hand, and how children can best be aware and prepared to handle these situations. Through his thoughtful words, Stan Campbell continues his mission to advocate for the justness and security of today’s youth. No matter your race, this is a conversation that everyone should have with their children as well as the youth in the community, so we can all join together and stand for a unified action of de-escalation.
