Three novellas in one book. Is existence a series of chances? Is fate determined by a roll of the dice, or do you control where and when you will land? If you could control the roll of the dice, where would you land?
Elements of mystical and courageous actions guide the reader down a distant path. The land is somehow familiar, but it is a foreign land built of dreams and war.
RESET Book One of Three
A cold granite slab slid quietly from the Moon Well. As the four winds blew into the Moon Well the two candelas gasped and relinquished their blue, white light. An ancient relic and Barer slowly emerged into a snow-white fog mist illuminated by a full moon. Together they marched into another time and location. Neither of which were they familiar with. Getting events into the correct dimension had to occur; the future of time depended on their success. A mansion of a house had to grow from the cliff on a moonlit night.
Sage was old before he was young. As an ancient warrior, he knew death and pain better than he knew pleasure. He was the exact definition of a person giving off an aposematism warning, feared from any distance. His mere approach sent waves of panic through his targets.
ALIVE Book Two of Three
World War II and the Acosta Valley are the backdrop for this adventure. All the hatred of the world is descending on the gentle people of the valley. The Italian government is welcoming the Germans. There was a loud gasp as everyone felt the words sink in like a dull knife through the heart. Simple trains of time lead the troop introduced in the RESET heroic story to fight to save refugees and themselves.
Santos in one of his earlier periods had been an engineer with Italy’s 5th Engineering Regiment. He worked on the “Strada delle 52 Gallerie, " later known as the Road of 52 Tunnels. Once he had known where the dynamite used for the blasting of tunnels was. Santos knew because he had stored it.
A Mercedes-Benz W31 staff car, with two flags on the front bumper, sped past. The surprise was that it was accompanied by a soldier on the Zundapp KS 750 motorcycle. Seeing the three women in the front of a German truck with a smashed-in windshield was enough for him and his driver to pull their Mauser C96 pistols.
Traveling over the Alps, evading and fighting German troops. Caught in harrowing storms and endless caves, our group relies on mystical knowledge to survive. Working with Scampi the yellow-eyed wolf dog is a joy if you are on her good side. Scampi is intuitive and can read your mind. Scampi can also dismember you with one stroke of her enormous, clawed paw.
DEATH Book Three of Three
In front of the cave, a bear-like wolf dog guarded the entrance and protected the relic as he aged. The head of the dog was enormous, holding yellow eyes that could stop you cold in your tracks. While frozen in a moment the razor claws came at you.
Time has been thrown back to Sardinia, Italy during the period of Roman rule over much of Europe. We begin to understand the source of power for the relic, Papa, and Madara. Their roots and knowledge carried forward from an archaic past. Knowledge controls all things. The control made the impossible possible. We find Papa, a giant of a man enslaved by the Romans. Forced to use his mystical and ancient mason skills to build a tunnel through the Alps. A secret passage for the Romans into Switzerland.
On the fifth full moon of the year the moon would position directly over the altar and shine a ray of pure white light onto it. Madara would say her incantations of prayers to the ancients who passed before her.
With Madara and their unborn son dying in his arms Papa’s dreams were of the future. With endless portals to travel through, he could watch them grow. Time was on Papa’s side and as well as he knew it, he wept.
