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

Before returning to the farm Roy, Katreena and their children stopped off at the little cottage that was still their family secret.  It was cramped with all five of them sharing one room, but the closeness was exactly what they needed.


During the night Roy's computer began to chirp.  Collecting it from his coat pocket, he went out into the field to read the message.  It simply said, mission complete, returning to starting point.  Looking up into the sky he could see a pinpoint of light moving across the sky.  Soon it grew bigger, and with a familiar soft roar of the engines, his tomcat fighter hovered overhead and then softly touched down in the spot by the trees that it had been resting prior.
