SMOLIF is an off-beat science fiction story set in a distant future and concerns the fortunes of Contra Marlo, a retired, alcoholic, security specialist. Contra takes care of people, at least he did before he dropped out and became a full-time drunk. That's how Mr. Mortis, a Braithwaite Corporation representative finds him -- inebriated in a Bangkok bar. Before Marlo can gather his senses, he's tricked into signing a contract employing his services. The job is to travel to a distant planet in order to rein in a rogue Braithwaite agent. Rated PG-13.

This is one sci-fi novel that captures and keeps your imagination from the start to the finish without the vulgarity that is so commonplace in today's literature. I would recommend this tale to anyone that enjoys reading and I don't mean just sci-fi. If you like mysteries, adventure and just plain fun, this is one of those little diamonds you find once in a while." PJ Ireland at Amazon Reviews says: "Started the book this morning, finished it in 6 hours of off/on reading. Great story & characters. My new favorite author; have bought 5-6 of his books in last few days." Skip Skipper at Amazon Reviews says: "[Smolif is] Another good book by Thomas Stone. This is the type of planetary exploration/science fiction I like to read. I recommend it."
