“To survive in this galaxy, you need a wand in one hand and a gun in the other.”

On a little-known planet, Archmage Varic Vallenar casts a grand spell to empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves. The ritual works too well, granting Varic not only the magic but also the memories from six lives.

Including their gruesome deaths.

Now, Varic has power greater than any wizard in galactic history, but he knows that won’t be enough. The enemies he faced in those alternate lives were apocalyptic in scale. Terrors of technology and magic. Nothing that he, or anyone, can defeat.

Sun-eating extra-dimensional insects, shadowy secret organizations, genetically enhanced alien super-soldiers, ruthless mega-corporations, and hordes of cyborg undead all lurk in the darkest corners of the galaxy, and Varic knows that any of them can become a world-ending threat at any moment.

All these are beyond any wizard, no matter how many spells he’s mastered or how many interstellar warships he’s rallied to his cause. Hopeless, Varic finds himself trying to preserve what little he can from the coming doom.

Until he hears rumors of a mythical starship, an invincible vessel of heroes made to do battle against galactic threats.

A ship called The Last Horizon.

The Captain is Book One of a planned seven-book series.

Zach Croft wants to forget the Prescott colony ever happened.

He wants to forget the crimson sand dunes, violent dust storms, and meteor impacts. He wants to forget the sight of his neighbors bleeding from their eyes as boils ravaged their bodies. He wants to forget the fact that his best friend was left to die. Most of all, he wants to forget that, without Prescott, humanity is doomed.

But when a Prescott dropship plummets from the sky twenty-three years later, he has no choice but to remember.

As Zach embarks on a life-or-death quest for answers about the dropship’s impossible return, he discovers something even more important: there is still hope for humanity’s survival.

With conditions rapidly worsening on Earth, he is in a race against time to return to Mars, finish the work that Prescott started, and save the human race from extinction. To do so, he must face the truth about what really happened in Prescott—a truth that calls into question everything he thinks he knows about who he is, who he trusts, and what he has done.

Haven was colonized by humans who fled from Earth centuries earlier to avoid a conflict. They built an advanced, thriving civilization on Haven and began construction of modern cities around the planet. Life was good and a far departure from the former lives they lived on Earth. However, ninety years after the planet was colonized, an extremely aggressive civilization known as the Vrang attacked the planet destroying all the cities and carrying off ninety percent of the population enslaving them. All that remained of the once beautiful cities were blackened ruins towering above what was once an advanced civilization.

The survivors of the attack decided to stay out of the former cities; that would be the first place the Vrang would search if they ever returned. For the next two hundred years, humanity has lived a primitive farming existence. That’s how things remained until one night a large group of aliens were discovered sitting in their fields. No one knew where the aliens had come from or who brought them to Haven, and the aliens weren’t telling anyone; they ignored each other as well as the humans living on the planet. It wasn’t until one young human and one of the aliens became entangled after an accident that everything changed. The human communities living on Haven know the universe is not a nice place; they stare at the stars at night and fear what could come out of them. They discover the appearance of the aliens on Haven has placed all of them in danger and that danger could be coming soon.

But the Alien and Epic Story are now communicating with each other and the communities are being warned of what's coming. Haven is a primitive planet and has no means of defending itself from an advanced civilization and the only option appears to be hiding in the forests and pray enough humans survive to rebuild the planet.

This is a story by Saxon Andrew of innocence lost and the struggle to survive in a universe fraught with dangerous civilizations that prey on inhabited planets. Epic learns that those that appear to be friends, aren't and the only one he can trust is a tall alien who just wants to die.

Excerpt: The Alien and Epic Story

Epic took a breath and said, “It took me some time to determine you want to die. And after that other alien showed up and ordered you to leave that rock and stop causing us issues, it finally dawned on me that you are also forbidden to communicate with the others like you that are here. So why did one of you come and communicate with you? Someone had to break that protocol to send that messenger to order you to move. That means you and all the others of your species here are being watched by an outside agency.” Epic paused and saw Rocky’s body start to relax. Epic waited a moment and then said, “Have you thought about what might have happened if you had refused to follow the order you were given to leave?”

Rocky actually turned around and stared at Epic and it was clear he was surprised by the question. “What’s the worse thing they could have done if you did that?” Rocky continued to stare at Epic, as he added, “Is there a possibility whoever is watching you might kill you for refusing to do as you’re told?” Rocky blinked at the question. “I mean think about it, Rocky. If you really want to die, communicating with me would be a good way to make it happen."

In a dangerous universe, The Alien and Epic Story shows how two beings so radically different from each other can come together and become much more than they are alone.
