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

The Titan Jewel was brought into the flight deck under a quarantine security protocol.  The flight deck was cleared of all personnel except for five crewmen who were needed to secure cables and lines to the ship.  A garrison of troops surrounded the ship armed with laser rifles, and it was pulled into de-con.  The Kerkes was treated as an unknown alien and possible hostile, a level three de-con.  It was washed down like a normal ship but then hit with an extreme acid wash to kill any imaginable parasite and a full spectrum radiation sweep and purge.
