Отрывок из книги
I have written some books, each with a minor connection to the others in the universe/multiverse. Sometimes I look at different viewpoints—for example, from a less technologically advanced and more fantasy-type world in my Advent of Darkness and Return of the Ancient Ones stories, and from a more futuristic viewpoint in my Alliance of Worlds science fiction stories, such as The Phoenix Rising and Talcon Starcity. In this book, set on the world of Archaeus, I employ a few different viewpoints, depending on the characters involved. All my books have an interwoven connection to some degree, as it was my intention to make occasional connections, either directly or indirectly, within the stories. Events will lead to a final conclusion of a background epic story arc where some of the characters from other storylines will cross over to work together. My eventual intent is for there to be a future crossover story and that some characters in this particular story arc will have a part in continuing that process.
I dedicate this book to all the great authors who have written in the science fiction and fantasy genres that inspired my imagination and interest to write. I have carried many of these ideas since I was young. I just had to find the time to write.

Barricus briefly greeted one of his assistants, who intercepted him near the entrance to one of the government buildings he carried an important document that required the seal of Barricus’s senatorial ring.
While waiting for Senator Barricus to finish his conversation with his assistant, Leo thought about what preliminary methods he would use to deal with the situation. He would work in an investigative mode to determine what happened at Lady Seneca’s estate, and he would rely on some of his arcane skills.
