I just published a brand new science fiction book on Amazon! My editor said that it was my best story yet! Here is a brief synopsis of the book:

After ten years in the Air Force which included a tour in Iraq, Eli returns to civilian life in search of a computer programming position. His first interview and job offer are with Galaxy Mining Company based in Houston, Texas. He he was hired for his linguistic and military skills. On his first day at work he is stunned when he descends in an elevator on his way to the company’s underground facility and is transported off world to Mozen where he is tasked with communicating with the native inhabitants to learn how to operate their advanced technology. He soon discovers that Galaxy mining company is working with the United States military to acquire and use the alien technology. When all out war erupts, he is reluctantly thrust back into a military role in the battle for the planet and its resources. Sergeant Desiree Carter, Private Skidder, and two aliens named Remee and Farcee join Eli in his struggle to rid the planet of a tyrant King Badok to free the Mozen inhabitants.

By the year 355 CE, the Roman Empire had expanded westward first conquering Gaul (France) and then Briton. The Romans then ventured northward in an attempt to conquer Alba (Scotland) before continuing westward to conquer the adjacent emerald isle called Eriu (Ireland). Torna knew from the moment he found the abandoned newborn baby in the deep forests that he was being protected and guided by the forest spirits for some great task. An abandoned newborn, found in the deep forests, reared by a poet, protected and guided by the forest spirits. Would the baby become savior for the people of Eriu and stop the Roman Empire from their ever-expanding reign of tyranny? Torna only knew that he and his wife were to do their part and raise the child as their own and they named him Niall. Niall’s path was up to the spirits of the oak trees who were involved in the destiny of all.

Patricus was captured as a young boy by High King Niall of Eriu land in one of his pirate raids of Roman Britain. The young boy became slave to a druid master and then was freed after seven years returning to Britain to finish studying to become a priest in the church. Then one night, Patricus had a dream where he felt called by God to return to Eriu land and spread his Christian faith and religion among the pagans. When he arrives on Eriu land, he comes face to face with the ruling sons of Niall, druids, and witches that he battles in his attempts to evangelize the emerald isle. An unlikely hero named Dovsfield arises to assist the priest in his efforts at

facing the ruling pagans of the old, Eriu ways. But, Dovsfield has secrets that he himself doesn’t yet know. Secrets that unfold as the forest spirits guide him to his destiny to stand and fight against the tyrants that rule the land; a battle that unleashes the rise of Christianity in Eriu.

Dovsfield is anointed by the Stone of Destiny at Tara to be high king of Eriu land. Immediately, he has to flee to escape from Coirpre, the current high king who wishes to kill Dovsfield. Then Dovsfield travels to Alba to seek refuge and help from Evenus, King of the Scots. Yona knows of an ancient prophecy that she is to marry an Eriu prince. She loves Dovsfield and believes him to be that prince. Driven by her pride, she ignores the prophecy and chooses a different path across the Big Water to return to her tribe. From Alba, Dovsfield returns to Eriu to lead a revolt against Coirpre with the help of a young priest named Patricus and a new kingdom called Dal Riata is born. It is in this new kingdom that prophecies are fulfilled and the destinies of all are determined.

Darby and his two best friends Jake and Rick are modern day cowboys on a 3 day horse pack trip into the wilderness of southern Utah Mountains. Unforeseen events and the quest for survival force the three young men through the fabric of time into unknown worlds and alien encounters that challenge the very core of whom they are and who they will be as they face apocalyptic events. Darby worries that he will never see his beloved Laura Beth in time to save her from the certain destruction over the horizon.
