    About this ebook

    When space ship Aurora was ready for its maiden voyage, the best crew available were put together by the Administration. It worked out excellent, until a young female staff member mixed up two names. She was supposed to put the presidents' son Harold Potter, a mathematical genius, as Commander. Instead, she entered only H. Potter and the computer picked out an H. Potter. The computer sent the telegram to Henry Potter, another young man deeply interested in anything concerning Space. When he got the telegram he, of course, realized that it was a mistake. But our Henry Potter accepted the title of Commander and went up to the space station. The mistake wasn't noticed before Aurora had past Mars orbit and was closing in on Jupiter's orbit. It took some time before the bridge crew, under Donald, the second in command, understood that the wrong person was set as Commander. A lot can happen during a space flight, and with Henry Potters street smarts a few dangerous situations were taken care of in a satisfactory manner. A rogue spacecraft called on Aurora and said that they would have to come on-board to check their cargo. Henry Potter took care of the situation by returning to normal space speed and hiding Aurora behind some asteroids. Aurora then found a planet fairly close to Earth, within the Goldy lock zone, that our astronomers should have found long ago. Contacting this planet, they were told, "Welcome earthlings, took you some time getting here didn't it?" With all the new inventions these people gave us, it all worked out well for everyone, except for the young lady that had mixed up the H. Potters names in the computer, she was looking for a new job in the private sector.

      We Are Not Alone - Bo Widerberg

      We are Not

      Alone

      by

      Bo Widerberg

      Written with large letters for easier reading for our young and elderly readers.

      Fortunately, what you read

      in this story is pure fiction, and any

      resemblance to persons, living or dead

      is purely coincidental.

      Why I wrote this story? It was done in self-defense, and I must blame my wife; it was because of her, and her constant harassing of my person. That I worked on the computer too much, but never made any money off it, so here it is, the up till now untold story about Henry Potter, at last in e-book form.

      I dearly hope that someone is going to buy this book, novel, or short story, whatever it happens to be. I need to get that woman of my back.

      The story you are about to read, happened in the late part of the year two thousand and sixty. As the scientists to date, had found four planets of Earth type, all within our own galaxy. And in what is called the Goldie-lock zone, close, well,
