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

After two weeks the Phoenix's QSG was rebuilt, and it was escorted home in a single jump that only took 18 hours.  Dropping out of the jump just 300,000 kilometers from Earth it slowly cruised into the ribbed open box, specially constructed to house it, at the Alliance Terra 1 Space Port.


The bridge crew stood at attention, except for Lieutenant Parker who was piloting the ship, as the Great Alliance Warship T.S.S. Phoenix came back to its nest for its final rest.  Sounds of metal banging against metal echoed throughout the ship as the large clamps of the port closed down on 80 points to hold the great bird in place.  After a few moments, Dobson got a signal on his screen showing the ship was switched over to the ports power supply and he typed in the command to shut down all internal generators.


"Docking complete and the ship is moored," Dobson calmly announced.
