Entheóphage

Drema deoraich entheophage
By Drema Deòraich
 
Dr. Isobel Fallon thinks she's found a treatment that will help her son and others suffering from Milani Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.  What she doesn't realize is that harvesting the source of this treatment in the only accessible place on earth it grows, a coral reef in the Nlaan Islands, is going to have consequences far beyond the disruption of the fragile ecosystem on one small reef.
CDC researcher Nadine Parker and her team are baffled.  Lukas Behn’s daughter Kyndra has contracted a bizarre new virus that leaves her screaming in pain.  But they can't identify any physical, biological source for that pain, not in Kyndra, nor in the dozens, then hundreds, and finally millions of children worldwide succumbing to the same virus.  And no one seems to have made a connection between what's happening with the infected children and the events on a small coral reef in the South Pacific.

Eventually, Nadine has to face the unlikely truth, and the enormous implications of it.  The children aren't sick. They're changing.  But will anyone else believe her?

By James Giedraitis aka Kenneth James

What awaits beyond is beyond incredible!

Eleven-year old Benny adventures to outer space to discover his inner strength. Kind-hearted Bella and playful Pup are canine travelers from the Star Realm. They've come to Earth on a mission. They're in search of a hero.

Young Benny from Prickly Pear doesn't seem much like a hero. He's more of a regular kid. A nice kid. The kind of kid who's a steadfast friend. When he grows up, he wants to be an engineer or inventor, or better yet, both. Benny is in no way an eager warrior. He can't even protect himself against the neighborhood bully, let alone defend others. The bully torments not just Benny, but Benny's little sister, Dyna, and his best friend, Paco.

But dogs can sense what can't be seen. And Bella and Pup sense courage and compassion inside Benny. Could this regular kid from Prickly Pear be the extraordinary hero Bella and Pup are searching for? The hero destined to rally the spirit of hope and unity against the forces of hate and cruelty. To find the answers, Benny will have to venture to the stars, to a world that astounds!

Dog Star Night is the original, wondrous tale about the spirit of loyalty, love, and courage—the spirit of the Dog Star.

In a dark future the Confederation of Free Worlds is over-run by enemies both foreign and domestic. The ship of state is adrift, riding stormy seas, guided by subversives who hate the people of ConFree and seek the total destruction of the Confederation. National suicide is government policy. The NewFam invaders have seized control of much of society. The people are weak, helpless and leaderless, stunned by close to a hundred years of relentless hateprop from the alien enemy. Resistance is unthinkable. Something new and evil is emerging.

A new squad of Legion recruits is thrown immediately into the battle. The future looks hopeless for ConFree. The ConFree Legion is being disbanded and merged into the People's Militia, but the Legion is not quite dead. Four hundred years of service to the people of ConFree will not disappear quietly into the night. Is it indeed too late, or will the embittered new Legion recruits risk it all to do the right thing for the women and children of ConFree?

Seeker and the Pathways of the Gods — Book One

A savage tide of alien intruders are infiltrating the distant reaches of the Deadvac and the Icy Way, enslaving millions of kidnapped, brainwashed innocents. As the aliens approach the Outvac the young troopers of the ConFree Legion confront them. Commander Seeker and Recon 16 enter the Farside seeking exploitable vulnerabilities in the enemy. They discover that the Spirit Shifters are powerful psychics seeking human souls. Recon is joined by the biogens, who know all about slavery.

The Shifters' advanced science is far superior to human technology. And when they take your mind, flesh, blood and future, all that is left is to fight or to die. As full-scale war erupts into the Outvac, Seeker and his biogen wife vow to liberate the innocent and kill their captors. They have no intention of living as slaves to a foreign race, and the Legion motto is Victory or Death.
