Flint Wolfe wants to be left alone. He's fought his war, won his
medals, and taken his hits. Now he's an airline pilot flying people
all over the world. All he wants to do is to raise his kids and
forget the pain of old scars. On September 11, 2001 five terrorists
storm his cockpit.
Flint Wolfe fought off the terrorists and landed his plane,
saving his passengers and thousands on the ground. Only thing is,
no one ever heard about it, because the CIA decided he'd make the
perfect fireman. Flying worldwide as an airline pilot Wolfe can
take care of "problems," both foreign and domestic. Wolfe wants to
refuse, but the terrorists come after him, forcing him to join the
Company. Under the guidance of the beautiful Iranian operative,
Yasmina Orandi, Wolfe plunges into a shadowy world of espionage and
terrorism. He's on the trail of Marwan Hamdi, a brilliant
bomb-maker who is at the center of a plot to destroy the Eastern
Seaboard of the United States. Hamdi leaves a trail of devastation
from New York to the Azores where Wolfe catches up to him. Can
Wolfe stop his rampage or is it too late?
Alexander is back, but just because he's saved Terra doesn't mean
he get's to rest on his laurels If the Galactics feared him before
they are terrified of him now, and some Terrans agree with them.
Alexander pursues Nazeera, intent on settling his debt of honor
with the traitorous Bureel-but Bureel has other plans. Bureel
plunges Chem into civil war. He murders the Elder of Chem and
assails the fledgling Terran Empire. To make matters worse the new
President Sadat, once one of Alexander's closest allies, now turns
against Alexander-and Terra. Alexander must now save two empires
from extinction
The dragon Gern Vernyx has lost his fire! It's up to Alexander and
McKenna, a first year wizard and druid, to find the Primordial
Flame and rekindle Gern's flame before it's too late. With the help
of Lylla the unicorn, Gadagong the narpyet, Dame Emily the ghostly
witch and Eclipse a dragon from the Third Plane of Hell, the two
young mages journey through magical Midgard to save their family
and the Imperium from destruction. On their adventure they learn
the importance of trusting in themselves and in each other, but
will it be enough when they are faced with the betrayal of a
trusted family friend?
All the political maneuvering, bluff and skirmishes are out of the
way. The Galactics are coming Led by the intractable Admiral
Khandar of the Golkos Empire they intend on stopping the legend of
Alexander once and for all time. The fate of Terra hangs in the
balance. Three massive invasion armadas are heading for Terra.
Alexander is outnumbered ten-to-one. What can he do against such
overwhelming odds? The climax occurs in orbit around Terra where
Alexander and all of humanity must rely on every ounce of barbaric
brilliance to save their race.
Alexander Thorsson is a frustrated ex-football player and a
cashiered Air Force officer, now living life out of a suitcase as
an airline pilot. He always thought he'd amount to something
more-the people of the galaxy think so too. The Galactics have
watched Humans for thousands of years; Humans are the most
physically powerful, most adaptable and most brutally brilliant
sentients in the galaxy. However, when Alexander the Great boasted
that his conquests would continue, "Even to the everlasting and
innumerable stars." the Galactics took him at his word. They live
in constant fear that someday Alexander will rise again and lead
his legions to conquer the stars. Everyone knows this except
Humans-and Alexander. Still, the exotic and masterful Nazeera of
Chem kidnaps Alexander from Terra and sentences him to death on the
fantastic prison planet of Pantrixnia. That should have been the
end of Alexander but somehow he refuses to die quietly; given one
final chance at destiny Alexander forges ahead and becomes the
legend everyone was afraid of. Galactic conspiracy revolves around
him, splintering the Galactics into factions vying to ally with
Alexander, negotiate with him or to destroy the threat of Alexander
and Earth for all time. Earth is caught between its own brutal
history and the reality of its insignificance; only Alexander can
save his planet from destruction and save the Galactics from
destroying themselves.
