Two years ago, Tom's younger brother, Josh was kidnapped. Josh has
been missing ever since. Tom saw who took him. Problem is - nobody
believes him. In fact, most people think he's mad. That's because
Josh was taken by creatures who aren't meant to exist. Creatures
from another realm - fairy creatures that only Tom can see. In the
fairy realm known as the Unseen Country, Flynn, an apprentice fairy
who is in danger of failing, stumbles upon a conspiracy that could
mean the downfall of both worlds. Together, the friendless boy and
the fairy who can't fly need to rescue a boy from a fate worse than
death. And save both worlds from something even worse.
The year is 3149. Extensive genetic engineering is commonplace
resulting in widespread human variation. Humankind has reached the
stars and colonised hundreds of planets thanks to two main
technological breakthroughs; anti-gravity and faster than light
propulsion known as the Slipdrive. The Slipdrive enables ships to
travel above normal space, slipping into another dimension known as
Nospace and shortening voyage time between stars from years to
weeks. Unfortunately, someone or something, got there earlier: the
Shiva. Previous attempts to contact these creatures has resulted in
but one outcome. Death. Felix Teppitt, a brilliant young physicist,
has helped to develop a revolutionary new form of space drive known
as the Overdrive. The Overdrive will enable ships to travel in a
dimension completely different from Nospace where no hostile life
forms exist - in half the time. When he disappears, his two friends
set off on a desperate journey that will determine the fate of the
galaxy.
Rapture Trilogy #2 Halfway through the desolate Tribulation,
half-demon Samael is still alone, with only his Samurai swords and
memories of the dearly departed - especially his beloved Aimi - to
sustain him. Fighting for the innocents who remain behind, Sam has
thwarted the plans of the Antichrist once before. Now, having
already conquered Europe, America remains a thorn in his brother's
side. At the head of a massive invasion fleet, an army of demons,
and his sights firmly fixed on New York, he will not be denied
again ... Beset on all sides by adversaries, aided by friends old
and new, Sam must stop his brother before America falls. And if
that means killing him, then so be it. He failed once before; this
time he will succeed - or die trying.
Rapture trilogy #3 The seven years of the Tribulation are almost
over. The Apocalypse- the final battle between good and evil - is
almost upon us and with it, the end of the world as we know it. For
the last seven years, the half-demon Samael has battled his inner
demons as well as the very real demons that inhabit the desolate,
ash-shrouded Earth. Betrayed by Heaven and Hell, cursed by the
surviving humans that he strives to protect, separated from all
those he loves - Sam's existence is filled with death and despair.
Now he must make a choice. Continue to fight for those he swore to
protect or leave them to their fate and join his father in Hell.
The Apocalypse is coming and it isn't going to wait for Sam to make
up his mind.
The Rapture has occurred, just as the Bible predicted. The faithful
have risen up to Heaven. Those left behind are in a living hell.
Earth burns, hell-like in its oppressive heat. Every volcano in the
world has erupted, and tsunamis and earthquakes continue to
devastate the planet. Clouds continually rain ash onto the scorched
landscape, sparking fires all around. Plants and animals are dying.
Food is scarce. The night sky is devoid of stars, and the moon -
when it can be seen - is the colour of blood. The remnants of
humanity fight for survival. Most have fled the cities and now hide
in caves deep in the mountains. By night, demons stalk the Earth,
capturing the remaining humans and killing them - if they're lucky.
The less fortunate are converted to worship of the Devil, and
ushered into endless hell. Eighteen year old Sam is unable to rise
up because he is half demon. Hikari, a Japanese sword master and
demon expert and his beautiful daughter, Aimi, have been all the
family Sam has ever known. Now they're gone, and Sam must set out
on the mission Hikari charged him with long ago: to help all the
humans left behind. Armed only with his beloved Japanese swords and
his wits, Sam wanders the post-apocalyptic world alone, separated
forever from everyone he loves. Cursed by his demonic heritage, he
must now embark on a quest that will take him across the US to the
City of Angels. There he will confront his destiny. There he must
fight to save the souls of the living.
