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.

It was a section of the city that had overgrown with trees, vines, and bushes, much more than the rest of the community.  The further down the path he went, the fuller the presence of life was.  It's like my Aunt's house in Tucson when one of the underground pipes sprung a leak, and the grass got really tall and green in just one spot in the yard, he thought to himself; it became necessary to pull out his 12-inch blade to clear some vines out of his way.
