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

Thunder doesn't clap on New Terra, it crackles, rumbles and then booms like an angry God.  Despite the turmoil outside, Katreena contentedly hummed to herself while darning the sleeve of one of her husband's shirts.  Timothy read a book by the firelight that flickered around the room like a pet that would not rest.  His little sisters played with their ragdolls on the floor next to him, one with red yarn hair and the other with brown yarn hair that matched the single vibrant difference between the t[1]win girls.  The children were quite accustomed to the veracity of spring thunderstorms and didn't give the pounding rain or loud thunder a second thought.
