O’Hara never wanted to be a hero. He was a combat pilot only because his skills made him the best and Earth needed men like him to fight the enemy amongst the stars. Living a life a service and duty, alone in a cockpit suited him well, but fate had other plans for him. Shot down over an alien planet he was saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Katreena. He soon learns that the world is populated by people who seemed to have been lost by time and controlled by stones that the people believe to be divine magic. Wanting only to return to his fleet, he discovers that he has more than a passing connection with the world’s people, a love that resurrects a heart long thought dead and a decisive battle to the war that followed him.

The New Terra Sagas

As the first sun dipped below the horizon, Roy and the Kings moved their men into position.  Juan returned to his fighter and stood ready by taking off into a high enough orbit to be out of sight of the enemy's sensors, but not so high that he would not be able to breathe.  His life support system was offline, so he had to deal with the thinner air and bitter cold.  As he approached a position several kilometers over the kingdom, he released a mixture of plasma radiation from his engines and a few bursts of electromagnetism from his QSG.  The result was a scattering of radiation that mimicked a solar flare and effectively scrambled their sensors for a few minutes.
