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

       Captain Roche sat by the campfire they had built reviewing star charts on a data pad while the two younger pilots, Franklin and Baker took inventory of their supplies.  It had been three hours since they landed on the no-name green moon.  During that time they put up their small one-man tents, collected enough safe-to-eat fruits, nuts and water to stretch out their rations for a week, collected firewood, dug a shallow sanitation pit and even located a few stones large enough to sit on.  After all of that, there wasn't much more to do.


"Why don't the two of you do a complete systems check on your birds while we still have some daylight.  I want to know that we are ready to go on a moment's notice."
