The Mysterious Adventures of Marshal Yeager, Professional Engineer - Book 1
In the Matter of Sandra Bullock's House, Governor Rick Perry, and Corruption at the Texas Board of Professional Engineers

AUSTIN, 04/26/2010 – Engineer and author June Melton, III, P.E. announces the availability of his new book, a historical and mystery fiction based loosely on factual events with names and timeframes changed.

STORY: Beginning with the report of the deadly Texas A&M Bonfire collapse in 1999, professional engineer Marshal Yeager is confronted with widespread government corruption under Governor Rick Perry as giant interstate homebuilding corporations partner with the State of Texas to undermine smaller homebuilders and deny homebuyers and professional engineers their First and Seventh Amendment rights, ultimately contributing to the collapse of the worldwide economy. Marshal learns too late that his investigation of the Sandra Bullock house case has drawn the attention of a globalist superlawyer and his engineer-henchmen. Does the corruption go as deep as the Texas Board of Professional Engineers? Marshal learns the answer as efforts are made to undermine Marshal’s clients and his professional career-actions that even result in the death of one of Marshal’s clients.

CHARACTERS include engineer-hero Marshal Yeager, agency spy Brooke Kamaka, greedy international super lawyer Bernie Rothenstein, various suspects at the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and the (recently abolished) Texas Residential Construction Commission with descriptions of fraud, witness tampering, perjury, threats, defamation, and murder. It also details the kinds of construction defects too common in new homes in Texas.

AUDIENCE: This book should be required reading for young people ages 15-30 since it will take a lifetime for that generation to pay off the irresponsible debt and interest that the collapse has laid upon them. HOT also recommends this book for politicians and public officials, especially in Texas; owners of defective homes and prospective buyers of new ones; reputable builders and contractors; home inspectors and engineers; and others interested in improving the Texas homebuilding industry.

AUTHOR: June Melton, III, P.E. received his engineering degrees from the University of Texas at Austin in 1965 and 1966 and is licensed as a professional engineer in several states. He specializes in structural, civil, and architectural engineering. His engagements during his 40-plus years of engineering practice include 8 years as CEO of an engineering/construction company, 22 as CEO of an architectural engineering firm, and thousands of engineering design, inspection, and construction projects. He has conducted forensic investigations nationwide in the public and private sectors. June is a member of several technical societies, has lectured on national security matters, and has authored several technical papers and seminars. His reports are routinely used by attorneys in settlement discussions and at trial. He can be reached through the Contact box at www.MartinAndByrdBooks.com.

THEY ALSO SAY

No other states' public policy poses a greater burden for defective homes squarely on homeowners like Texas.

Stuck with LEMON... need Lemon Law for homes

In Texas LULAC has witnessed a disturbing trend in substandard new home construction, which can be attributed to the lack of adequate inspections during construction, lack of effective new home warranty protection, home durability as well as lack of consumer redress for defective new home construction.

The industry-wide use of Binding Mandatory Arbitration (BMA) clauses in new homebuilder contracts and third party warranties further deny home buyers their constitutional rights of holding a builder accountable through the courts.
