Steven Paul Leiva will read from his new satiric science fiction novel, Traveling in Space, a Gulliver’s Travels for the 21st Century with Homo sapiens as the Lilliputians. Steven will also bare his (non-existent) soul and present "Confessions of a Homo sapiens chauvinist."

Traveling in Space was recently given a positive review by Russell Blackford, a leading atheist in Australia and the author of Freedom of Religion and the Secular State.

Steven will be available after the talk to sign copies of his book. If you bought the book on the Amazon Kindle, bring it along to receive a unique signature card from Steven. We will also have Traveling in Space available for purchase for $14.99 during the meeting.
