Peace Lord of the Red Planet

Epilogue - The gods make Shep a surprising offer.

Humanity versus divinity in final battle.

Philip makes his bid against Shep in battle. Shep has other ideas about who the real enemy is.

With the lives of Xhylanna and Hylas in the balance, Shep faces off against Raxes's chosen champion -- his old friend Philip.

Seeing through the Pretender's eyes, Shep lives the final chapter of the gods' time on old Earth. Raxes refuses to take his part in the planned revolt and tries to reach out to his true father.

Seeking help in getting Xhylanna back from Raxes, Shep and Hylas confront the gods of New Earth face to face.

Shep and his companions set out for the home of the gods of New Earth. Within sight of their goal, they are attacked by an anrgy god as Shep meets the Firechild in the divine flesh.

Shep goes through two profound life changes in one night and stands trial for espionage. Leadership in the city of Jentana changes. This is it - the chapter that proves this is NOT your grandfather's sword and sorcery epic. Once again, check your armchair psychologist's license at the door. Enjoy!

While Jentana doctors rush to save Hylas, the Aspar attack! Fliers rain destruction on the Jentana's island, and fear grows that this time their enemy has found the location of their undersea city as well. Xhylanna races into battle, leaving Shep behind. But when his beloved drops off the radio, the Peace Lord cannot sit on the sidelines.

Xhylanna marshals her Generals to make a decisive strike against the Aspar. Philip sells his knowledge of the enemy, and Shep tries desperately to broker peace. Meanwhile, Hylas makes a drastic decision.
