Paul Bunyan in the 23rd Century” by David White In tall tale lore Paul Bunyan was a giant lumberjack whose logging escapades took him from Maine to California. Babe the Blue Ox was his gigantic friend. Along the way he was responsible for clearing land, The Thousand Islands, and digging The Grand Canyon by dragging his axe through the heat of the desert. 2248 A.D. Man has reached the stars. Man has also along the way nearly destroyed the Earth. The Rain forests are all gone. The United Federation of Earth comes up with a plan to reseed the Amazon Rainforest. One councilman disagrees—Othello Ferax , Governor of the African Territories. From a long line of Druids, he wants Earth to be abandoned until the planet recovers. 2252 AD. Paul Bunyan, a genetically enhanced beaver—who appears to be an animalistic cross between Captain American and Wolverine—patrols in his ship, Babe. Othello Ferax and his men are committing sabotage using the stolen super seeds in an effort to discredit the science that has re-grown the rainforest. They have also slain geneticist Karen White, whose formulas produced Paul Bunyan, leaving Paul the only one of his kind. Now Ferax must be stopped. Paul and Babe will have a major role to play before the battle ends. Mr. White has chosen to build this five star story by blending folklore with science fiction in a brew to sate the thirst of any Pulp reader! A special nod goes out to the author for the subtle references to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
