Books
Book 1. Voices of Quest
The replacement of humans has begun. It starts with the voices . . .
It is war-ravaged China in the 1930’s. John Powers and his fellow group of pilgrims are
trying to evade Nationalist forces, communist rebels and the invading Japanese army, all
while carrying a strange golden statue and searching for a mysterious woman known as Her.
At the same time, John begins hearing voices insisting that he conceive a son with another
of the travelers.
Who is Her? Why do the voices want John to have a son? Are the voices evidence that John
has schizophrenia, as he fears? Or are they something else altogether?
Book 2. Tortured Journey
Haunted caves; an obese opportunistic warlord; strange voices . . .
As the war rages on, John Powers and his fellow pilgrims cross paths with a menacing obese
warlord and his scheming assistant, with devastating consequences, and encounter haunted
caves with iron doors and endless branches that lead to unknown destinations in time and
space. Meanwhile, the voices continue to harangue John and pilgrim Bai Meiying to produce a
son.
Are the voices real? Why are they so insistent that John and Meiying have a child? Is John truly
schizophrenic? Are the caves actually haunted? Who–or what–is behind the iron doors?
Book 3. Voices of War
A skeleton waits in a tunnel; a fortress is besieged; a goddess argues with a god . . .
War-torn Vietnam in the 1960’s and a group of American soldiers is trapped in an abandoned
French fortress during a raging monsoon. North Vietnamese soldiers seek to retrieve a
strange goddess statue from the fortress. Michael Powers, one of the trapped soldiers, hears
the same voices that plagued his father, John.
Is the fortress haunted? Why does a skeleton wait in the tunnel beneath the fortress? What are
the tapping sounds that come from the goddess statue, and why do the North Vietnamese want
the statue? Are the voices symptoms of mental illness, or are they something entirely different?
Book 4. Restless Spirits
Ghosts wander the battlefield; a new species struggles to replace Homo sapiens . . .
Michael Powers is haunted by memories of the war and tormented by what he believes to be
the schizophrenic voices of an arguing God and Goddess, just as his father had been decades
earlier. The mystery of the skeleton waiting patiently in a tunnel is unveiled. And as Michael
struggles with his demons, the survival of a new species–a species that is poised to replace
Homo sapiens–hangs in the balance.
Can this incipient species survive humanity’s fear of otherness?
Book 5. Voices of Madness
A psychiatrist meets in a graveyard with a soldier who died years earlier . . .
A 21st century mental facility. Michael Powers, now institutionalized, descends into the abyss
of what he believes is schizophrenia. He experiences odd psychotic episodes that cause him
to question whether he is a murderer–or still a young soldier in Vietnam–or whether he is even
alive. Worse, the voices have a new demand.
What do the voices want? What is real? Did Michael cause the strange things that are
happening to his consulting psychiatrists? And will his perceived madness destroy the new
species before it has a chance to take root?
Book 6. Haunted Caves
A return to the magical cave; a journey through space and time; a quest to conceive the next
Chosen One . . .
Michael Powers escapes the mental institution and finds himself reunited with a mysterious
Mongolian woman and the magical cave that contains portals to other spacetime dimensions.
Via these portals, he journeys through time to relive the past and contemplate the future. The
survival of the new species continues to hang in the balance as Michael is directed by the
voices to find another with his special genes and conceive a new Chosen One.
But what will this union produce? Did he murder the three psychiatrists? Will he escape his
pursuers or be forced to return to the mental institution?
Book 7. Voices Of Defeat
Violent criminals on the verge of committing violent crimes suddenly have no arms . . . no
hands . . . no legs . . . They suffer no pain . . . lose no blood . . .
A new, superior hominin race is on the verge of totally subsuming humans and becoming the
dominant species on Earth. It begins with the magical disappearance of a doll and leads to
panicked humanity scattering in warring groups, all desperately trying to cling to the dominance
they once enjoyed as Homo sapiens.
How can drug pushers, sex traffickers and others who would inflict suffering lose their arms,
legs and other body parts without any discernible signs of violence or blood? Did they go to the same place as the doll?
Book 8. Superior Ones Risen
Humans on the verge of extinction; The Superior Ones on the verge of complete domination . .
.
The Superior Ones spread their presence and move to complete their total replacement of
Homo sapiens on the planet. Catastrophic upheavals arise with humans’ last tumultuous
resistance to this usurpation of their dominance.
Will the extinction of the human race be accomplished with a minimum of suffering and chaos?
What will the new relationship be between The Superior Ones and the few remaining humans?
