Sinossi

Imagine you fall asleep today and wake up in three hundred years! That's the story of Phra, the Phoenician, who has a rare gift of death-like sleep which makes him almost immortal. A reader gets introduced to Phra, a traveling Phoenician warrior, as he saves a slave girl, falls in love with her, and decides to bring her back home to Britannia. From there starts his incredible life journey through different eras of British history, ending up in the Elizabethan age. Each of his long periods of sleep relates to an invasion. For the first time, it happens during Caesar's invasion of Britain. Next time he wakes up when Saxons are chasingRomans out, then the Norman invasion, and then the invasion of France, followed by the Elizabethan epoch. In each of his lives, Phra is doomed to find love and lose it, prove his calling of a warrior and protect his land. At the same time, he has a unique chance to observe how the times are changing. Following Phra's time travels, a reader understands that there are basic things in life that are never out of date, and love is one of them.

    First Contact has never been easy. 
    Despite the rumors, the US Government has been able to deny First Contact with an alien race for decades, but with good reason: it hasn't happened yet. 
    When a strange signal comes from an isolated area in the forests outside of Seattle, they find that First Contact is not going to happen with big ships and grand world-wide messages. Aliens, it turns out, like to keep their existence quiet. 
    Nick Logan, Seattle's resident alien, wants to tell his human wife the truth about himself. He just happened to land too close to a military base from his last trip. Now, telling her the truth has become way more complicated than he anticipated, stuck behind a glass wall and with the military between them. 
    The Librarian is a contemporary short novel set in Washington State and dealing with first contact with an alien species unlike anything else in modern science fiction.

    FOOLS DIE IN THE ZOO. THEY DIE FAST AND HORRIBLY. 
    From the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle… 
    Decades ago, an alien ship fired a missile at Earth as they passed by, and we caught it. That was when humanity truly opened Pandora's box. 
    One more trip into danger, or something beyond danger? 
    Holly Smith has been hired as a consultant to go into the ZOO and retrieve information to help a company find a unique chemical.  
    Holly is not a stranger to danger when trying to uncover that next billion-dollar ingredient, but even Holly has to admit something is wrong with the vibe coming from the ZOO. 
    There should not be a lush jungle in the middle of the Sahara. 
    Needing more information, she leaves the American security enclave and heads to the French/Israeli/India military encampment where mercenaries are known to congregate. 
    Plenty of alcohol should get her the answers she needs, right? 
    The more she learns, the more her concern intensifies. Can she learn if there is real danger, or are they lying? 
    When she finds a good drink, she realizes she might have found the person to tell her the truth. 
    But one person’s truth is another person’s tall tale. 
    With her life on the line, and her next paycheck as well, Holly needs to find out if the ZOO is safe. 
    One last problem: the ZOO doesn't want to give up its secrets. 
    ARE YOU READY TO ENTER THE ZOO? 
    ---- 
    Join Holly Smith as she learns about the ZOO, how to stay alive, and the opportunities that being a part of the ZOO have brought humanity. 
    The future is looking interesting and humorous, except for the death part.
