Long-listed for the ReLit Award, 2009 Reese Larkin is desperate to find the perfect mattress. His job is in jeopardy and he’s been forced to separate from his wife and children, but he believes that if he can find the ultimate sleep system his life will begin anew. In her seventh novel, Cordelia Strube grabs readers by the neuroses with a dark but wickedly fun story about a former Greenpeace activist forced to turn marketeer who battles against a world in which he is confronted by shift mattress sales clerks, a Fred and Ginger-obsessed strip-bar waitress, derisive colleagues, and a wife who has mysteriously turned cold and is keeping his children from him. Alone in his damp basement apartment with his daughter’s hamster, he longs for a good night’s sleep and, though faced with despair, begins each day hopefully as he grips tighter to the edges of his life. Engaging, enlightening, and always entertaining, Planet Reese is an intensely personal and endearing tale of a man holding on to his sanity against all odds in an increasingly unhinged world.

"Since 1995, I set out as an artist to create characters who were hideous, strange and did not fit within the normal boundaries of a modern society. The Circus Freaks, my 1st creations, are such examples of de-humanizing humans, placing them in a world where they are not accepted by the majority and must push their way uphill to gain power. After 15 years of creating many people, places and things based on the real world, publishing books, including this one, I came to an epiphany. Who you are in relation to someone else depends not on skin color, age, religion, sexual preference, language, biology, country or planet. These short stories contain individual lives of those you are familiar with in one social category or another as opposed to those of your neighbor, family member, significant partner, your enemies, and those unlikely you've never met. In the end, a world, a galaxy of prosperity comes with the efforts of all who are related because they are unrelated and that's exactly what this book is about." --Maestro Drake

When a new international religion explodes on the world scene with the goal of unifying all faiths into one body, Reese Maxey is recruited to bring his skills to the movement. But as he becomes more involved in the rapidly expanding worldwide church, he discovers not all is as it seems in the new faith. His discoveries bring to light his own inner spiritual struggles, and more disturbing, he finds there are human forces around him determined to make him and break him. Or kill him. From the lofty powers who meet annually in Davos, Switzerland, to the streets and corporate corridors of Midwestern cities comes a story about one mans spiritual struggle and the intrigue of spiritual wickedness in high places.

A military venture class ship code named "Exploration" is sent through the rift, and arrives far beyond what science labeled the edge of the universe. Shortly after arrival the Exploration sends transmissions to Earth that holds the key to unlocking faster than light travel. The next few messages from the ship come in the form of blood soaked screams from the crew members begging for their lives. Almost three decades later, humanity is locked in a civil war, between two alien factions. Questions behind the human involvement in the war have long been silenced by the world government. That is, until a small group of soldiers happen upon the truth of how the war actually began.
