Bob Freeman combines his scientific expertise and creative vision to craft the H2LiftShip Saga, a five-volume space opera that captivates young adult readers. Inspired by classics like Star Wars and Star Trek, Bob’s stories avoid familiar tropes like Faster-Than-Light travel and aliens, instead focusing on science-driven adventures. The series follows Captain Graciela Lourdes and her crew of genetically enhanced animals aboard a solar sail cargo ship, encouraging readers to explore the science behind the tales. Bob's path to authorship is as unique as his stories. After beginning his studies at UCLA, he transferred to Humboldt State (now Cal Poly Humboldt), where he worked on research projects involving anaerobic bacteria. His career in public health labs spanned decades, including his role as Laboratory Director in Imperial County, where he contributed to cross-border tuberculosis studies and virus research. Bob also participated in a tuberculosis laboratory assessment in Peru, sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. An accomplished scientific writer, Bob has developed laboratory manuals and software for his company, BtB Software, LLC, drawing on his extensive computer background. In 2021, at age 70, he began writing science fiction, blending education and entertainment in his works. In addition to the H2LiftShip Saga, Bob has published short stories and is developing a new series, TimeWall. Bob lives in Northern California with his wife and two Australian Shepherds.
