    A relentless chase. A rising prophecy. A battle that spans heaven, earth, and the unseen. 
    They escaped once. But the New World Order never stops hunting. 
    After uncovering Project 157’s terrifying secrets, Navy SEAL Jacob Carter and Sage Emmerson are fugitives on every government watchlist. The N.W.O. will use any weapon—digital, biological, or spiritual—to erase them. 
    To survive, Jacob must rely on what he learned in the spirit realm — truths that defy logic, faith that bends reality, and power that no enemy can counterfeit. But when the K-60 program forces Sage dangerously close to a jump between worlds, Jacob realizes this time he might lose more than the fight—he might lose her. 
    Across three dimensions, Jacob and Sage race to stop a plan that could collapse the barrier between dark and light forever. As ancient prophecies ignite and Project 157’s real purpose is revealed, Jacob finds himself thrust into the center of the coming tribulation — where his obedience could mean salvation for millions… or his own destruction. 
    Can he protect Sage, stand against the darkness, and embrace the calling that demands everything? 
    If you love faith-driven sci-fi thrillers like The Circle (Ted Dekker) or Piercing the Darkness (Frank Peretti), you’ll be captivated by Pursued — a gripping continuation of the Three Worlds saga where the unseen becomes real, and courage is measured in faith, not firepower.

    Politics, passion, and pudding.  
    No, this isn't a steamy romance. When Vanti and O'Neill graduated at the top of their academy class, they thought they'd get their dream assignments. Instead they end up in security on Station Kelly-Kornienko. Sure, the station is glitzy, but they're basically well-dressed security guards. Until someone murders the chair of the board.  
    O'Neill and Vanti go undercover to find the killer. Along the way, they learn much more about the station--and each other--than they ever expected.  
    This short story is a prequel to the complete Space Janitor series.

    "Dragon Riders" is an amazing adventure about three children caught up in a timeless war. Their lives are turned upside down by an attack on the monastery where they live. Their flight leads them into an encounter with a young dragon, which they save from certain death. Previously believing that dragons were solely part of mythology, they are rewarded with a flight on three full-grown dragons. The dragons leave them each with a bracelet, which shrink to fit and hence are unable to be removed. The war causes their paths to divide, and they encounter magic, the enemy, a variety of characters and eventual capture. Reunited through incarceration, they discover the secret of their dragon bracelets, calling on the dragons to rescue them. With the reappearance of the dragons, their involvement in the war increases as they seek to bring an end to the fighting. The characters in this story are delightful, and are brought to life with the things they say and the actions they take, rather than simply through description. The story is written in a lovely, simple style that children will find easy to follow. Similarly, the plot is quick and captivating and the dragons especially are awe-inspiring. Their descriptions are bound to keep young children on the edge of their seats.

    Leading two races to safety and securing their future is not what Scarlet would have chosen for herself. 
     
     
     
    She had accepted her duty to dragons and humans alike. The new arrival throws everything into question. Can she sit by and let another take a throne they've not earned simply because of the color of their scales? Is she any more worthy than he is? 
     
     
     
    The answer comes, but not the way Scarlet expects. 
     
     
     
    The world is starting to take notice, and an enemy who is growing stronger is threatening to break out of his underground prison. Can Scarlet and her rival work together to stop him?
