Emma Avenue has always been the heart of Springdale, Arkansas.Once that heart beat strongly in the breast of a thriving town. Like so many smallcommunities in the 1920s and 1930s, Springdale bustled with activity-most of it alonga few blocks of Emma Avenue. Small trucks bringing strawberries to market; big truckshauling freight for the fledging Jones Truck Line; families shopping and socializing atthe movie houses and drug stores on Saturday night. Even the seedy side of Springdaleseemed to congregate along a short stretch of Emma Avenue, sometimes punctuatingthe usual peaceful atmosphere of the community with moments of violence.Long-time businessman Bruce Vaughan recounts his memoriesof growing up in Springdale using an effective blend of personal anecdotesand interviews with other "old timers" to recall those sometimes difficult years when electricity, cars, and radios were beginning to change the very fabric of rural American life.

After his parents' deaths, Juno is left alone and isolated, but heading for a new life on a planet that turns out to be Earth. Nothing however, is that simple. Aliens are little green men from Mars, not intelligent individuals who speak English and look human.

Yet Juno must persevere, for some greater force is guiding his future. Earthlings face their greatest threat and Juno offers the only hope the their future.Bruce Vaughan's refusal to be confined by the familiar parameters of the science fiction genre, his willingness to blur the boundaries between reality, science fiction and spirituality, is the great strength of Regenesis. For the serious Sci Fi reader.
