There is nothing Aeris St. Cloud wants more than to win her father’s love and the acceptance of her family unit by joining the Military Academy at New Hope. But after she is captured by the fearsome space pirate, Captain Chainsword, Aerie is certain falling in love with her nation’s arch enemy is the last possible way to earn their coveted esteem.

Driven by vengeance, Exton Shepherd never set out to save anyone. As he circles the war-torn world in his pirated starship, the Perdition, he only sees his father’s ghost lurking around every corner and the coming darkness. When Aerie unexpectedly tumbles into his life, he finds he cannot trust her, anymore than he can ignore her. But just like the raging war down on Earth, it’s tempting to think he can …

When the war ascends to the heights of the Perdition, will love be enough to save them – and others – from certain destruction?

PanOrpheus demonstrates his vast knowledge of ancient Greek history and proceeds to travel through time and space to understand the meaning of the Antikythera device. It was thought to be an instrument, constructed by the Greeks, to measure time via the movements of the moon, sun and other celestial bodies. The Antikythera was rediscovered by Greek sponge divers in the early 1900s and has been the source of speculation for over 100 years. During our journey, we’re introduced to a variety of important historical figures such as Pythagoras, Tesla, Theoclea (the Oracle), Mark Twain and even Janis Joplin (who performs). The author’s appreciation for culture is demonstrated in his poems, explanations of Greek plays and song lyrics from the rock ‘n roll era. If you enjoy western history, steampunk themes (gears and steam power) and reincarnation stories, then this is for you.

I am the two-hundred-year-old patchwork son of Victor Frankenstein. Loss and tragedy walk at my side. I have seen the horrors people do to each other—but sometimes evil catches you off guard. Sometimes, it sneaks in and latches on, and the next thing you know, it’s sucking you dry.
