Jim Long space agent series is an e-book series by Robin G. Howard.

Through the many centuries of Earth’s history leading to space travel and then the capability to travel at the speed of light to visit new civilizations in the twenty second century, the population of earth was never alone. The Galaxy Police Federation had been around for thousands of years gradually expanding as new civilizations reached the age of light speed and aware of its existence. This new scientific age classed as Ratio-Five came into being and before that time only invisible observation was accepted. Some planetary cultures caused their own self-destruction in the incredible advancement of technology. Others struggled and were set back a century by the quest for individual power and territory. Many planets never survived their own planetary environment and although earthquakes, meteorite bombardment and destructive weather wiped out the surfaces of these worlds, the survivors were ready to start again.

The speed of light signified an advancement of such magnitude that allowed a single spacecraft and crew to travel to the nearest star systems in order to visit other civilizations. At this point, the Galaxy Police Federation would openly visit and initiate diplomatic relations in the form of a Galaxy Police Embassy. A signed charter then protected the planet and its inhabitants from being an aggressor to another civilization or falling prey to a high technological advanced group of predators.

Police Federation Headquarters currently based in a small solar system near to the very centre of the galaxy incorporating two suns and five planets. Three of the planets were full life supporting and the principal Krakor specially manufactured and landscaped by the ancient ones of light, primeval creatures of the spirit and guardians of the galaxy. Krakor was a place of great beauty with oceans, rivers, lakes, streams and waterfalls viewed throughout the landscape. Recruitment for the federation was from every life-bearing planet in the galaxy above ratio five and the other two planets were living quarters for five million members and their families.

The transport for the federation consisted of Inter-galactic craft (IGC’s) that traveled at light speed and then switched to an alternate dimension that diverted the craft out of time allowing it to travel ten thousand light years in just twenty-four hours. Travel from one end of the galaxy to the other and back could be attained in twenty days in the same time continuum allowing the occupants to arrive back at Krakor with only normal time loss.

In some areas of the galaxy, inter-dimensional problems were now causing anxiety and the ancient ones of light had introduced two new computers of immense size and power positioned at the centre of the planet Krakor. Computer one called the CTD allowed its recipient’s unlimited travel to other realities of time co-existing alongside our own, allowing inter-dimensional transportation. The second computer TC permitted the spirit to travel out of body in astral flight in the domain of the spirit world. Only two men had the knowledge and operation of the computers activated by their own brains and engaged by bracelets operating on their wrists.

Jim Long was one of a few specially trained space agents a man of high integrity and moral standards but with normal human instincts. He had human vulnerability, always trying to attain a higher level of understanding.
