Matthew O. Duncan is part of the resurgence of Old School Sci-fi.  His books are a mix of Military Sci-fi, Fantasy, Romance, and Mystery weaved together with non-stop action.  Matt started his writing career as a playwright. He won a number of awards and had his plays produced on local stages.  He put his pen down in the late ’90s but picked it up again in 2011.

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

       Deb didn't have any place to go as her quarters were just a reminder of the friends who had kept secrets behind her back, so she went directly to the rec-room near their barracks.  The video wall had been left on, and some leftover beer pouches and tin plates hadn't yet been cleaned up from the night before.  She walked in and sat in the middle of the room feeling its emptiness.  Tears began to run down her cheek, and she started to sob.   The room was a perfect example of her life; the mess after the party.


A voice spoke up behind her, "Hello Love.  Did you need any help cleaning up?"  She turned to see Bruce standing behind her with a big grin on his face.  The grin vanished as soon as he saw the water lines running down her face.  "What's wrong?"


She quickly wiped her face and tried to put on a smile.  "Oh, nothing.  It's silly.  You guys did great out there today.  I'm very proud of you."
