The Eleventh Commandment - A New Science Fiction Novel By Richard Van White Jr.

    PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- First-time author Richard Van White, Jr. takes readers on a journey across galaxies to explore this issue in The Eleventh Commandment (376 pp, $14.95). Available now on Amazon.

"I am less a reader of science fiction than a reader of great stories, and I think this is one. The writing is incredibly detailed and imaginative, and the pages turn themselves once you get a sense for the characters and impending crises. I expect this marks the beginning of an ongoing action packed adventure..." -Tony Shober

Van White, Jr. creates a new world faced with some very familiar challenges, and in doing so draws on classic struggles of mankind including power, class and the very essence of right and wrong.

Richard Van White, Jr. has long been fascinated by space travel and the mysteries of the universe. His love affair with science fiction began while watching Star Trek on a black and white television in 1969, the same year that man landed on the moon. He soon developed a voracious appetite for all things sci-fi--from classics by Robert A. Heinlein and Frank Herbert to Doctor Who, Space 1999, and the Star Wars Trilogy. This is Richard's first science fiction novel, and one he hopes will inspire an entire generation of young African American authors to look up and say 'What if?"

He resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but also spends considerable time in Maryland with extended family.

A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to Girl Power 2 Cure, Inc., an organization dedicated to finding a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects girls almost exclusively. The author knows a special young lady living with Rett Syndrome and wants to help her find a cure soon.
