An adventure across space and time! In the chaos that reigns after the fall of the Imperium, the newly reformed Panhelion is splintering, as factional squabbling pits rebellious nations against the reconstituted government. President Scott Drumond works tirelessly to unify the nations of Earth and the off-world settlements under the new Senate authority, and he's successful.... ...Until a new evil surfaces, one that has lain dormant for two centuries. Fanatical remnants of the ancient Hegemon Empire, sensing blood in the waters of the weakened Panhelion government, send their armed henchmen, the revanchists, rampaging out of the Anatolian Peninsula to spread terror and war. Worse, tentacles of this new evil reach across the galaxy to the Hyades Star Cluster, jeopardizing the tranquil planet of Niobe. Scott's betrothed, Ariela Lavendal, Proconsul of Niobe, must now fight her own battle to protect her people from the diabolical threat out of Earth. As the forces of the Panhelion push back the revanchist army of the Hegemon, Scott's dream of reuniting with Ariela and his daughter Evalyn on Niobe seem within his grasp. Yet events have changed the once serene Niobe. Now the Khepri aliens are once again swarming out of the Coma Berenices Star Cluster to threaten the Panhelion. Yet when Panhelion scientists crack the secret of the Khepri language and discover the true nature of the aliens, Scott learns that an even more startling and dangerous peril menaces the future of mankind.

Author Biography

AUTHOR: In my early years I devoured science fiction and fantasy. Later my tastes moved to classic adventure stories written by Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Jack London. My passion for writing came late in life, and only after much encouragement from family and friends who read many of my stories. At Georgetown University I studied German and German literature. That led to an assignment in the Air Force intelligence services in Europe. With those experiences behind me, I returned to the US and the University of Wyoming. My undergraduate and graduate Engineering studies were heavy in advanced physics and mathematics. Upon graduating I taught German and Electrical Engineering at the US Air Force Academy. I mustered out of the Air Force to start a career in high tech start-up companies. Ultimately, I retired and began a third career as a writer. I now live in Southern California, where I spend my time writing when I'm not indulging my passions for sailing, skiing, and reading. I invite you to join me and my characters, both good and evil, as we explore strange places on our journeys through the stars. EDITOR: Growing up I was the kid who would get into trouble for reading in class. My family was the one at the restaurant with noses buried in books. It was only natural that I would seek some way to make books a part of my career path. In March of 2014 I graduated from Portland State University with a MS in Technical Writing and Book Publishing. During my program I spent time as Acquisitions Manager and Project Manager with Ooligan Press, a student-run publishing house that is part of the graduate program. Since my graduation, I've started my own small business, taken over ownership of Portland Book Review, and worked as Project Manager at Spectacle Publishing Media Group before arriving here at Evolved Publishing. I read anything except for traditional westerns, and have a soft spot for historical fiction and YA. I tend to gravitate towards genre fiction (particularly science fiction, fantasy, horror, action/adventure and all of the implied subgenres) and am a huge fan of comics and graphic novels. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm probably playing video games with my friends online. While I enjoy writing my own fiction on occasion, my greatest joy is helping fellow writers achieve their dream of publishing their work. I look forward to working with Evolved Publishing and making those dreams into reality.
