MAJOR DAVE ELLIOTT – widower, farmer, retired from the Florida State Highway Patrol – lives with his dog, Shadow, and his 17-year-old autistic granddaughter. Their quiet life on the farm abruptly changes after a cyberattack causes the collapse of the US electrical grid and an economic crash.

Major’s band grows when the sheriff’s family and others take refuge at the farm. His granddaughter’s uncanny gift to see clouds of danger where no one else does thwarts the mastermind who intends to control the US government. When lawlessness rules and the farm family is the target of thugs, Major goes on the attack to stop the criminals. Can he succeed where others have so tragically failed and died?

Losing their parents felt like the end, but it was only just the beginning for the Orphans.

Brought together by fate, five teens quickly find themselves thrust into the center of an age-old battle between good and evil, an underground conflict that dates all the way back to the War in Heaven.

With the scales tipping toward the side of darkness, it’s up to the Orphans to save humankind. But if they hope to stand a chance against the ultimate evil, they must first overcome their inner demons.

He claims that the Kardish—alien traders with a spaceship now lurking in orbit—have a kidnapping plan already in motion. But is Criss telling the truth, or is this a scheme to gain his freedom? Can Earth even protect Criss from the Kardish, or should he be sacrificed to avoid confrontation with technologically dominant aliens? One government agent promotes turning the hyper-intelligent AI into a doomsday weapon and confronting the aliens in space. But can Criss be trusted? And what becomes of humanity if an interstellar battle starts to rage?

And she won’t let people treat her badly anymore.

She has so much to learn about Everternia and about herself that she barely knows where to start. She wants to do it all, immediately, with great enthusiasm, and maybe even while wearing a pair of really nice pants.
