Visionary Must Sacrifice Bold Dream or True Love in Dream Jockey, Published by Outskirts Press
Malin, OR, February 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Dream Jockey: Vacuum Transit by Winfred Alan Jewett. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the action and adventure fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/dreamjockey was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
David is a “dream jockey”, a visionary riding hard, myopically fixed on reward’s trophy at the finish line.
He turned his back on his profession to construct an idea he and his brother Brian had for a new vacuum transit system that proposed to levitate a shuttle and send it through a vacuum conduit. Having eliminated air resistance, the craft would be free to achieve fantastic speeds very efficiently.
Dream Jockey is a story about a revolutionary new mode of transportation, battles with factions resolved to cripple and destroy the new company, and a special, unique love affair between David and his chief engineer, Monica. The forces of destruction move in for the kill just as David prepares to make the first run from Reno to Vegas. Though David narrowly escapes the first attempt to demolish his dream, he knows that the nefarious factions are not finished. David resolves to fight, but he never imagined he would soon have to choose between his new love for Monica and the coronation of the 7.5 billion dollar company he envisioned.
David’s heart, Monica, was held captive, bound and gagged, and they demanded the destruction of Star Line for her release. For anything of value there is a price to be paid. David’s choice is save Star Line, paying with Monica’s life, or destroy the company with a bomb and hope they will let her go.
Which one will David choose: his bold dream or his heart’s true love? He thought he had been blessed with both, but now the price to be paid for one is the loss of the other.

About the author:
Winfred Alan Jewett grew up in a small farming community nestled in the mountains of southern Oregon. Mt. Shasta crowns Winfred’s front yard and Crater Lake is the divine signet, the deep blue jewel of his playground. It is this great land of mystery, of adventure and discovery, filled with a magnificent diversity of wildlife that ignited Jewett’s imagination. Winfred joined the U.S. Navy in 1962, explored the Orient, Japan, China, the Philippines, and traveled the United States coast to coast, but never found anyplace as peaceful or awe inspiring as the great Oregon mountains, the wonderland of his youth where he lives still.
