Eetoo: a Historical Space Opera
Ben Hur of Science Fiction. Eetoo, a shepherd from an obscure planet, realises his mission in to search for the golden tablets that will complete his tribe's knowledge of the truth. They are located on the forgotten Planet of Red Earth, the birthplace of humanity. He has help from fellow humans as well as non humans. Some alien species would rather see humanity extinct, and for good reason. The ancient Nephteshi Galactic Empire showed how evil humanity can be. The paradox keeps Eetoo searching for answers, taking him to first century Earth. The parts of the narrative set on the Planet of Red Earth (our earth, actually), are influenced by readings of first century history in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Pseudopigrapha, Rabbinical sources, as well as readings of Shalom Asch's The Nazarene. Some study of Quantum Mechanics also helped. Such a combination of rabbis, Essenes, and aliens could only exist in a historical space opera Robby Charters was born and raised in Thailand, and presently lives in Northern Ireland with his Thai/Chinese wife, Bless and their son, Abie. Among his experiences in Thailand, were getting to know of the Karen tribal people, on which he based the Fa-tzi-zhi, Eetoo's culture. Robby's other novels include, Pepe, The Zondon, and The Story of Saint Catrick. Information on these and some free downloads, are available at www.Tinyurl.com/RobbysBooks, or on Robby's blog, BobCharters.blogspot.com.

About the author
Robby Charters
56Ìýbooks18ÌýfollowersHello. That photo you see there is of me and my son. It's actually a few years old. My son was about nine when I took that selfie but now, he's twenty, and is in Uni in Scotland, becoming smarter than me. I still like that photo, and I'll keep it until he tells me to take it down. And I probably look a bit older than that as well. Anyway, my wife and I live in N. Ireland. I write stories, draw pictures, design books, and work at a day job. In some of my books, there's a character named Boz, probably with the surname of O'Brian. If you happen to come across him, that's me making a cameo appearance. From Boz, you'll know that my roots are in Thailand, where I was born of an Irish dad and American mum. Though American, my mum was also born in Thailand. We're all missionaries. You'll read about that bit of history in The Eurasian. In Pepe, you'll find that I worked for a year in a homeless children's shelter similar to the one you'll read about there. I still think fondly of that place. The Zondon will tell you about the school I attended for two years that I think define my childhood in Bangkok, with other missionary kids. If you like how my covers look, and the interior design of my books, I can do yours as well - if you're a self published author. To find me, just Google "Robby Charters", or go to my website: .
