Hard Crash

1998

HARD CRASH: Zofia and Gerick are prisoners headed for death by torture when their spaceship loses control and slams into the alien planet of Na Pali. Freed in the crash, they find that Na Pali has been occupied by the Skaarj, a race of fierce planetary conquerors who hunt intelligent life for sport and think of humans as nothing more than a tasty meal. The enslaved Na Pali natives believe that one of the humans might be the avenging angel prophesized centuries ago, the wounded god who will overthrown the Skaarj and lead them to freedom. Zofia and Gerick would much rather just find a working starship and leave the aliens to their own struggle, but they are caught up in forces beyond their control. Or are they? Somewhere along the way, they learn the true nature of power... and then the trouble really begins.

Prophet's Power

1998

PROPHET'S POWER: Haute, the lowly Na Pali slave who would soon be called the Prophet, had fled to safety in the desolate hill country. There he found the hidden wreckage of an ancient spacecraft, and even more important, found the artificial intelligence that would come to be called the Prophet's Friend. From that day forward the planet Na Pali would never be the same. In a vision, Friend warned Haute of the coming invasion of his world and guided Haute and his companions in their resistance against the domination of the Skaarj. But only Haute's own natural abilities would give his people the slim chance of winning the final battle that would determine the fate of their entire world.
