His true love went to another galaxy... and then he had to rescue her. Follow the adventures of a boy learning to become a man, and then a man struggling to become a hero. Gilbert, a social misfit at the University of Eastern Indiana, follows his true love to the other side of the galaxy... where he is shot, stabbed, drowned, burned, poisoned, chased by a dragon... and then things get "really" complicated when he discovers there is a rupture in the space time continuum. It wouldn't be that bad... except everyone expects Gilbert to fix it! Sometimes confusing, and very exciting, Smashing Doves is a fun and exciting first novel by author Michael W. Greene (www.michaelwgreene.com.).
