Magician's Heir
What if reality is the worst form of madness? Loneliness, a failing magic business, and stacks of unpaid bills make amateur magician Adam Gray’s life one of unending drudgery and desperation. He’s trapped in the tiny town of Elliston, and excitement’s not exactly knocking down his door. Until it does. A cryptic peddler, peculiar merchandise, and insatiable curiosity combine to tear Adam away from the mundane safety of his everyday existence… and into the impossible world of Tantris: a land of giants, mages and the magic Adam’s hoped for his entire life. But is this a world of sanity or madness? A dream or nightmare? Adam must answer these questions, and soon. Because Tantris has a mortal enemy—ruthless, evil and hungry for the souls of the innocent. And the Dark Mage just chose Adam as his next victim.
Magician's Return
Adam Gray is dead... ...so when he awakens in the quiet dark of his small apartment, the young man’s sanity seems far from certain. For the past six months, he’s battled the undead, befriended giants, fallen in love, and struggled against an ultimate evil. Just a dream? Or has he fallen into complete madness? Maybe he should ask the wizard passed out on his couch. Thus begins Adam’s desperate struggle to return to Tantris; a magical land that’s undergone a terrible transformation. Friends and loved ones are all dead; slain at the command of the Dark Mage. Armies of Unsouled roam the land, slaughtering and devouring the scattered few who dare to fight back. Burdened by a terrible guilt, Adam must undo the death and devastation wrought by the Dark Mage. With the might he wielded before now turned against him, he must search for another way to save those most precious to him. The future of Tantris lies in its past and on Adam’s pursuit of a mythical token of power: the Talisman of Time.
Magician's Dawn
Bitter war arises when the end of one age intrudes on the dawn of another… Makzendrix, champion of a world lost in the distant past, broods over the hypocrisy of those placed above him. Forced to abandon a bloody war at the very brink of victory, he must now choose between two equally hateful courses of action. Will he foreswear a solemn vow or betray the allies he fought beside for the last decade? This choice will exile Makzendrix to another world entirely, an outlandish place beyond comprehension. Because Earth is a world devoid of magic. And only magic will allow him to survive the cold-blooded enemy who pursues him—Sarkesian, the voracious Dark Mage. Powerless and alone, Makzendrix must make one final choice, a decision which will determine the fate of two vastly different worlds. Somehow, he must find a new champion, one with the aspiration and courage to oppose the devourer of souls. Who will be the Magician’s Heir?
Magician's Genesis
Death, destruction, and unrelenting war… …is all the people of Tantris have known for generations. But with the end of the Dark Mage war, a new era begins—one of safety, healing and a peace long hoped for. After centuries of struggle, the Dark Mage is dead, killed by Adam Gray in an epic battle beneath the fiery catacombs of Mount Dismay. Or at least the world thought so. When an assassin’s arrow turns matchless joy to grieving despair, it marks but the first of many blows signaling the rebirth of an age-old nemesis. And this time, Adam will find himself overmatched and woefully unprepared. Together with Craigen the giant, Adam embarks on a crucial quest. He must seek a means to answer the unanswerable: How to salvage a love already lost? How to redeem the lives of friends half a world away? And one transcendent question, one whose answer will determine whether thousands live or die: How do you kill a monster who is already dead?
Magician's War
“War has come. We can stand as men, hoping to win the day, or be ground beneath the boot heels of a tyrant. There is no neutral side in this conflict.” With those words, Adam Gray struggles to rise from the ashes of despair, only to find himself friendless and alone. Shunned as love's betrayer, he can find absolution for his crimes through victory alone. Yet how can one man hope to endure against the hordes of evil incarnate? The harder Adam struggles to unravel the webs of malice and deceit, the more entangled he becomes in the Dark Mage's snares. War has come, indeed. And it leads Adam to one terrible conclusion: Perhaps this is a war he's destined to lose.
Magician's Redemption
At long last, the exciting conclusion to the Dark Mage Series! When the Dark Mage merges his power with that of a deadly enemy from the future, the very bones of the earth shake in fear. Who can hope to stand against a monster of such horrendous power and transcendent evil? Adam Gray knows he is utterly outmatched. Any chance at survival means fleeing as fast and as far as possible. Yet what of his friends and loved ones? How can he contemplate running when it will mean agonizing death for everyone he holds dear? In the end, a secret withheld makes all the difference in Adam’s decision to fight or flee. It’s a revelation that makes him question everything about himself, both as a man and a magician. Backed into a corner, to a place where no possible choices remain, Adam must answer one final question: How do you kill something that cannot die?
Voiceless Child
True story! "I spoke soothing words and touched her pale fingers. The silent weeping stopped." The baby's chest heaved as she struggled to breathe. Airway scarring rendered spoken language impossible. Heather wasn't my child, but her distress tattered my heart. Fourteen months old, the little one lay swaddled in a blanket, forgotten and lost amongst unchanging hospital routines. “Just be glad she’s only abandoned, not abused.” The words on the other end of the phone line stung. I wrestled with anger, but instinct quieted any sharp response. A chance meeting turned tragedy to miracle. I wrote the book about our search to give the voiceless child a family, to find a surgeon who could rec...
Diamonds in the Rough
This book is the monograph of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake by D. Bruce Means. Its publication is a culmination of over 40 years of long-term, in-depth study of the world's largest rattlesnake, Crotalus adamanteus. In the preface Means writes, "The limited biological knowledge available for this species is all the more amazing when one considers the economic impact of Crotalus adamanteus. Because of its large size and highly toxic venom, it is arguably the most dangerous venomous snake in the United States and Canada, accounting for more human mortality than any other species (Klauber 1972; Parrish 1980). Its ecological importance may be even more significant, however. The eastern diamondback is a major predator of the cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), a significant crop pest that is probably the most abundant rodent in the southeastern United States (Lowery 1974). Moreover, the eastern diamondback, which weighs up to about thirteen pounds (5.9 kilograms), is the largest cold-blooded terrestrial vertebrate living in the temperate zones of the earth (Means 1985)."
