AGE I:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the Commonwealth existed, there was an expanding, multi-galaxy civilization. Due to the combined effects of a too-aggressive policy of expansion, civil unrest, the inequality and abuse of the classes, and the categorizing of augmented humans as a slave class, the Central Allied Worlds (CAW) disintegrated.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The period of darkness and barbarism that followed is referred to as the Downfall.

Among them were the Khybors, the ancestors of the Leapers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the Commonwealth existed, there was an expanding, multi-galaxy civilization referred to by its descendants\/survivors simply as “First Civ”.

\"Commonwealth<\/a>Age 1, Volume 1: KHYBORS: In the Beginning<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Three novellas in one volume explore the birth of the Khybors, whose descendants will impact the Downfall, the rebirth of civilization, the return to the stars, and the Commonwealth far into the future.<\/p>\n

Khrystalis<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em> Kerin is the youngest child of two powerful, intelligent and gifted research scientists. When the military interferes yet again in her father’s research, the resulting lab explosion fills Kerin’s body with experimental bio-crystal, long before the material is ready for human testing. In a twinkling, she’s changed.<\/p>\n

Intended to aid the body in repairing itself, bio-crystal is used when medical science is incapable. As the living mineral penetrates down to the genetic level, Kerin learns to change herself and to sense the world in totally new ways. When her gift reaches out beyond her own biology, she stands poised between being the bearer of a great gift for humanity…or a threat that may change the universe.<\/p>\n

Ambush<\/em><\/strong>: <\/em>The twins, Casta and Pol, should never have been born, and there are many enemies who would still try to destroy them as they reach adulthood. Hidden away on a remote colony world with their uncle, they’re allowed to explore the breadth of their potential as well as to develop all the gifts they can imagine.<\/p>\n

That potential is put to good use when their home is attacked and their uncle is kidnapped by enemies intent on destroying first their world, then civilization. The twins’ favorite game is called Ambush, and now the game has become reality. Only the enemy will never know what hit them…<\/p>\n

When the smoke clears, Casta and Pol regain more than their uncle. Now what the twins are has a name: Khybors.<\/p>\n

Wing and Claw<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em> Lor and Jae lead the Khybors, training them to be the frontrunners of exploration teams clearing alien worlds for colonization. They’ve learned from their youth not to trust the powers-that-be when they speak of peace and cooperation between the emerging groups of augmented Humans and the rest of the Human race. All the signs are there, that the enemies who have been quiet, hiding in the shadows for generations, are ready to emerge and attack once again.<\/p>\n

The time has come to reach for the stars, for Khybors to flee to the furthest limits of explored and colonized space, and find a world where they can live in peace and safety. First, they have to rescue the people who dared to stand up for them and speak on their behalf, before their voices are silenced permanently.\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Commonwealth<\/a>Age 1, Volume 3: Slipping the Weave<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Khybors flee to Norbra for a safe place to raise their children, far from enemies who want them declared non-Humans, or want to enslave or annihilate them entirely. Like the selfish, arrogant queen of legend for whom the planet is named, Norbra has a reputation for destroying all life. Elin and those who settle the planet believe no one else will want it. They hope their enemies will leave them in peace while they wait for Norbra to do the hard work of destroying their troublesome race.<\/p>\n

However, Khybors are made to survive. They make Norbra their home and use the dangers of the planet for their own defense. Then. as the generations go on, they make a long-range plan for survival, aware that their enemies won’t give up. The only way for Khybors to survive as a race is to withdraw so far away that the Set’ri and other enemies will never find them, and in time, may even forget about them.<\/p>\n

Rorin Pace comes to Norbra to win Elin’s heart, to follow his dream of piloting one of their ships, and to find a way to protect all Khybors. Kheeran, their daughter, reaches new dimensions as a pilot. Their son Banjer dives deeper within the computer world and discovers the vital element in the Khybors’ long-range plans of escape to the far reaches of space.<\/p>\n

Zeph, a Wrinkleship pilot, allies with the Khybors in building their fleet and brings them a damaged ship called the Nova Vendetta<\/em>, full of prisoners, pirates, and a growing artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Errien, Kheeran’s daughter, leads the pilots who search for new gateways to other universes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, their enemies grow stronger and come closer, and the countdown begins to the destruction of the Central Allied Worlds.\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Commonwealth<\/a>Age 1, Volume 4: First Law<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Of all the races that are part of the Central Allied Worlds (CAW), the augmented are the most feared, despised and threatened, considered no longer Human because of their abilities. But the time has finally come for the children of Norbra to act…<\/p>\n

After generations of cycling back and forth between abuse and praise, friendship and fear in the galaxy, Elin and Rorin and their descendants have a plan and the technology to save all Khybors. Utilizing the mind-machine bond with their Skip ships, they can create Wrinkles in the fabric of space. For the first time, fleeing beyond the reach of politicians, genetic purists and extremists like those led by the vicious Set’ri allows them the means to invisibly get to safety and provide evacuation for their allies.<\/p>\n

But an unprecedented discovery alters everything. They aren’t simply Skipping beyond the reach of the sensors, they’re Leaping to alternate universes, perhaps new dimensions…where the CAW can never find them. In alien space, the only certainty is that they need to protect themselves from other races that may prey upon them and their unique talents. Born of loss, pain and despair, the first law of the Leapers is set in stone: Harming one Leaper amounts to harming all. Attack and the gift of the Leap will be removed from cities, countries, worlds\u2026the entire cosmos.<\/p>\n

An act of survival on the part of the children of Norbra ushers in an era of unimaginable change.\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Commonwealth<\/a>Age 1, Volume 5: Nova Vendetta Part 1: The Injustice<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Niall Encardi is ready to graduate after long, intensive years of medical training and go home to the colony world of Sorendaal. His life-long dream has been to become a healer and help the people his uncle, the governor, leads. The revolutionaries who overthrow the current government of the Central Allied Worlds have other plans. When the homeworlds of Niall and his classmates don’t immediately give support and approval to the revolutionaries, the medical students are labeled enemies of the state and transported to prison.<\/p>\n

Despite every effort to stay focused on his first calling, healing and medicine, Niall becomes a leader, first on a prison planet, then on the prison space station known as the Abyss. Every time the government changes hands, he and his friends and then his allies in the prison society are labeled conspirators and sympathizers and condemned to yet more imprisonment.<\/p>\n

By the time the Abyss is attacked, Niall and his people have become a force to be reckoned with in their goal of freedom…even if it means turning pirate, like the falsely imprisoned nobleman who once sailed the ancient seas, on a ship called the Vendetta<\/em>.\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

Niall and his crew are just centimeters away from freedom, escaping in the stolen starship they’ve christened the Nova Vendetta<\/em>. Then disaster strikes, paralyzing their ship. Retaken as prisoners, they find themselves traveling on the very ship that should have been their ticket to freedom.<\/p>\n

Just when they’re beginning to despair, the unthinkable happens: Experimental technology and a risky gamble put the ship under their control. The escaped prisoners head for the furthest reaches of known space, determined to stay free at any cost.<\/p>\n

Labeled rebels and pirates and criminals, they hold to the principles that have let them survive and stay Human during their time in prison. To the outlying colonies slowly being abandoned by the disintegration of the Central Allied Worlds, the crew of the Nova Vendetta<\/em> and its slowly growing fleet of allies are heroes in the truest sense of the word.<\/p>\n

The revolution reaches out to threaten Niall’s homeworld. Niall knows it’s time to go home. He has to protect Sorendaal, even if it means giving himself into the hands of the very people who want him dead.\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a time of turmoil in the Central Allied Worlds when the governor of Rensler, his wife and eldest son are forced to attend a “conference” of colonial governors. They leave the youngest son, Edrian, and the colony in the care of his grandfather, the former governor.<\/p>\n

The two begin a secret project by befriending the sentient, nocturnal Nightskimmers.<\/p>\n

As Edrian grows up, and unrest intensifies, he learns real heroes sometimes operate in secret. His position as youngest brother of the next governor requires him to present a false face to the world against the day when he must strike out on behalf of the colonists if they’re to keep their freedom.<\/p>\n

When the expected revolution does erupt, Edrian’s father and grandfather are taken away, accused of treachery. His older brother flees to the wilderness to lead the rebels, and Edrian and his mother become hostages.<\/p>\n

Edrian hides behind his false reputation of being sickly and studious, allowing him to move freely at night, freeing prisoners and striking in defense of the colony. Only a boy on the verge of manhood, yet the Talon’s reputation has already taken root…\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Commonwealth<\/a> Age 1, Volume 12: Wind Walker<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Refugees from the Downfall Wars, separated by centuries of spaceflight, clash on a far distant world. Caught between them are Tayree–native, Wind Walker, visionary, and a recent widow–and Arin, a foundling raised by the invading Colonists.<\/p>\n

Tayree’s visions send her to find Arin, stolen from her tribe when he was an infant. She knows him from childhood dreams…and because his twin brother murdered her husband and infant sons in an attempt to possess her. Arin and Tayree could be part of prophecy to bring peace between the Ayanlak natives and the invading Colonists, but only if their hearts can heal.\u00a0 Tayree has a chance to fill her empty arms, but claiming her rights of recompense from her enemy’s family could destroy the future for her tribe and Arin’s love for her. \"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Commonwealth<\/a>Age 1, Volume 13: Moonbirds\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

K’reeth and her sister, K’rin, were named for the moonbirds–sister raptor birds who share parenting duties, one the nurturer, the other the hunter and defender. Orphaned by catastrophe and adopted by the High Mistrada of the T’bredi scholars, they’re teachers entrusted with all the gathered wisdom of the Ayanlak.<\/p>\n

Their bond of sisterhood is tested when K’reeth falls in love with the Wind Walker Talon. The relationship is further strained when the new peace with the Colonist invaders includes a promise to send home all the children who have been rescued by and raised among the Ayanlak–and K’reeth is the first.<\/p>\n

Her forced journey to be reunited with a family she doesn’t even remember eventually takes both sisters across the continent and into the nest of political intrigue and contention that may tear their world apart–on the very brink of peace and the fulfillment of ancient prophecy.\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Commonwealth<\/a>Age 1, Volume 14: The Peace Village<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rescuing K’reeth from her kidnappers brought an epic storm down on their enemies, but common sense said the Dominators were far from defeated. Taron and K’reeth had dreamed of a world where Ayanlak and Na’huma colonists could live together in peace and acceptance. Now that she was pregnant, they needed to make that world a reality, and soon, or their child of two races might never be born.<\/p>\n

Admiral Dorwen had a dream of a peace village, where both groups of galactic refugees could learn from each other and learn to share their world, which the Ayanlak had named Storm Shelter and the Na’huma colonists had named Refuge. As fall turned to winter, volunteers gathered and shared ideas, and traveled to the T’bredi enclave, where they would be safe from their enemies, to prepare to start building in the spring.<\/p>\n

Touching while meeting together in the Dream Plain had always been forbidden, and the storm created when Taron rescued K’reeth illustrated exactly why. But that discovery sparked curiosity, and K’rin and other scholars delved into the archives to learn more about the Dream Plain, who had learned how to use it, and what else they could do in the realm of the mind. If people could travel wide distances through the Dream Plain–granted, with devastating consequences–what else could travel through it?<\/p>\n

The discovery of ancient treasures stored in the Dream Plain, unchanged by the centuries, opened doors of speculation and possibilities, and a chance to delve the secrets of the ancestors.\"Read<\/a><\/p>\n
