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

Within minutes, Roy was flying over the largest landmass on the other side of the planet.  It was a massive continent that spanned from the North Pole down through most of the southern hemisphere.  A ridge of mountains ten times the length of the Rocky Mountains on Earth spanned most of the eastern coastline of the massive continent.  Snow still capped the northern and southern ends of them, with a dozen large lakes near the center that were flanked by green canopies of a monster rainforest.  Some deserts were noticeable near the equator, but most of the continent was green with life.  His scanners picked up traces of nickel throughout the landmass, but the most significant concentration was in the southern half near its eastern coastline.  There were still hundreds of square kilometers to cover, but it was a start.
