Humanity's Fight for Splendor - Book one of the Splendor Series - Second Edition
This book will come to you signed by the author.
The settlers of Splendor raised their families in peace for hundreds of years, living a pastoral life in a new world. This all changed when a steam-driven spaceship appeared above the Planet Splendor, carrying with it the hate of a Queen from their old world, Earth. The miners who became the settlers of Splendor were accused of releasing a technological plague upon Earth hundreds of years earlier that had destroyed its high tech civilization.
A new Earth civilization has risen from the ashes and has sent the Queen’s Assassins with Tinker-based technology to avenge Earth’s suffering. Only a handful of men and women stand against the dark force that seeks the blood of the innocents of Splendor.
This story tells of people trapped in a world unknown today. A devastated world that has based its knowledge upon steam power and dark forces. A world led by a Queen's madness and an evil plot filled with hate towards all humanity.
One man bursting with evil has crossed centuries to this final tipping point—the seizing of Splendor, a world of new beginnings for those who would step upon its surface. The travelers carry the answer to stop his dark plans of death and corruption waged against humanity. Who will win not just the battle but the war itself?
I love life on Splendor! A little supernatural combined with evil force to take over the universe. Doesn't get much better. This is a great read for any one, whether you like Si-Fi or just a good story line with amazing, sometimes whimsical, sometimes totally diabolical characters. And some endowed with great wisdom. Enjoyed it immensely and looking forward to the sequel
The second book in the Splendor series, "Giants of the Mistress Moon", takes you through the compelling adventure of travelers from old earth, who now reside on Splendor, in their quest to rescue the children who were abducted by Silva for his use as the next generation of assassins.A continuing story of the thirst for power, where Giants, special gifts, self healing towers, unusual creatures and flying machines unlike anything the travelers have ever seen are used in the battle of good versus evil.Will Silva reach the children and return to earth with them so the transformation can begin or will the travelers rescue the children and return them to their families?I like that the book makes you think about things and look within yourself, or at least that is what I experienced.

I have always enjoyed reading and in my later years writing. The Splendor Series of books combines spirituality, science fiction and fantasy all in one.
The telling of stories containing realistic characters has always been my goal. We all make decisions in life that have consequences. So do my characters - having both good and bad results.
Set against the backdrop of the continuous battle of good and evil you will find the travelers seeking to save Splendor and its human settlers from ruin.
