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

       Juan and Julie both sat in the cockpit of the Kerkes as it came out of quantum speed, 10,000 kilometers from the edge of the Lion's Mane Nebula.  Their sensors didn't indicate any other operational ships, but the entire area was full of so much T-Class Plasma Radiation it was difficult to get a clear reading on anything.  Julie piloted the ship within a few meters of the remnants of a ship that had been blown into a dozen pieces.  Juan turned the shields to a frequency that would minimize the chances of being struck by a discharge from the nebula that flashed with plasma like a thunderstorm.


"Good, right there, full stop," Juan ordered as he was focusing a multi-spectrum camera on the wreckage.  "It's less than a month old.  Definitely destroyed by an external force."


Frank entered the cockpit eager to see new alien technology. "Did we find it?"


"Take a look," Juan said as he switched the images over to a larger screen on the other station.
