Proteus - Dark Universe Released

The first book of the Endless Saga, Dark Universe sees the return of Proteus as they embark on a new and darker adventure.

Available from:
Smashwords
Rakuten Kobo
Apple iTunes
Barnes & Noble
Amazon Kindle

Also available at other afflicated retailers priced at $3.99 for the Ebook
The book is suitable for Teens upwards.


"It has been four months since the events of the Neo Alphius Saga and things on Beletrix have settled down and with both Saya and Miras nearly ready to begin their work of exploring the stars and helping to bring their civilisation back to its former glory. With the unexpected rescue of survivors from Alphius Prime, things are not entirely harmonious though with an old feud between Zenni and Talisha Betar being reignited however things are about to take a dark turn for our friends as they are dragged in to urgent rescue mission when Lunar, Miras's younger sister ship suffers a terrible disaster mid jump and is stranded in subspace.
Mother and daughter working together must try and rescue Lunar before she is utterly lost and a daring plan is formed however within subspace itself, things are moving that should not be in this empty lifeless dark universe as a new and menacing threat emerges. With time against them and lives at risk will Zenni and Saya be able to save the Lunar and her crew, and what terrible discoveries will they find hiding in the space beyond our universe?"

Following on from the Neo Alphius Saga, rejoin Zenni and Saya with the rest of the crew of the Proteus series as they embark on a darker and more disturbing path. This first part of the Endless saga will have ramification in Symbiotica, Dystopian Detective and Pentalore as a new threat from beyond our universe is revealed, a threat to Earth, Aemus and Beletrix as well as all life in our Galaxy.

Dark Universe is a fast paced and dark scifi thriller which will turn the world of Proteus inside out as the Alphians face off against a militaristic race living in subspace who are more technologically advanced than they are and who seem to lack compassion or morality, threatening everything in their domain.Now in its Second Extended Edition with over 30,000 words of new content Dark Universe has been heavily reworked and revised. This Extended Edition takes the original story of Dark Universe and paints a far more vivid picture as you follow the cast of Proteus facing a new and dark threat that may well consume everything in its path.

It is the longest day of the year and it seems fitting to release the first collection of the Endless Saga  on this day as that is actually when the books take place. As you can see this is unusual for me in that three books have been released on the same day, and there is an important reason for this. Each of the books crosses over as the worlds of Dystopian Detective, Pentalore and Proteus collide.

The Apeyron threat continues with another triple release in July with Proteus - Dark Empire, Pentalore - Awakening and Symbiotica - Monsters of Tokyo continuing the Endless Saga.

Go grab a sample and it is worth noting that while the books cross over, you don't necessarily have to buy them to get the full picture. They are all but self contained and events from the cross overs are explained in an isolated way within each of the books.

Enjoy!

Here is the Blurb:

"Ella Carr for all intent and purpose is a fairly average woman with a fairly extraordinary secret. She is host to a gentle and kindly alien symbiote call Shomis Bhor, a former warrior and protector from a world now long gone. Leaving the Foundry in the United States, their base of operations for their global business, Ella has returned to her home city to establish the Forge, their industrial research facility in Manchester in England. Things have taken several twists and now she finds herself heading up the Dystopian Detective Agency, a place where they solve impossible cases in a way only the extraordinary could. Things are not really going that well though. With only a few boring cases on her desk she indulges her office assistant Amy over a research project she is doing for her university project.
Up in the mountains of the Yorkshire Pennines the longest day of the year rapidly approaches and for the locals, an event that they fear is upon them. Ella and Shomis are sceptical of the legends and myths surrounding the so called Lost Girl of Tatterslong, a dark story that goes back hundreds of years however with Shae and Amy both excited at the prospects of solving this mystery she ends up travelling to this isolated village if only to have a little fun.
As the dreaded night seems to pass without incident, Ella find her scepticism justified however when Amy doesn't come down to breakfast in their hotel, they find themselves facing not only a legend, but the fact one of their own has been abducted. It soon becomes apparent they are not the only paranormal forces at work in Tatterslong as they try to solve the riddle and find their friend before the sun sets on the day and the news that once it does, Amy will never be seen again."

It's the first true case for Ella Carr in this spin off from Symbiotica Series, as she tries with her new business partners Amy and Shae to solve a four hundred year old mystery however everything is not as it seems to be. Crossing over in to the Pentalore Series, The Ancient Girl see Ella face her own demons in a literal way as they try to save Amy from becoming one of the lost girls with a conclusion that will spill over in to Proteus as part of the Endless Saga.

The Ancient Girl is now in its Second Extended Edition with over 34,000 words of new content, heavily reworked and revised. Taking the original story this reworked edition paints a far more vivid picture as you follow the cast of the Dystopian Detective as they try to save their friend from certain death and reveal the dark truth behind this terrible legend with unexpected consequences.

Here's the Blurb:
"For Doctor Callisto Darkholme, Essauberg was supposed to be her perfect home. Having moved from the hustle and bustle of the big city to the sleepy mountain town in the wilds of New Hampshire, she had quickly settled in to her new life making new friends and enjoying the slower pace of life. Not everything is perfect in her world though as she tries to come to terms with the car accident that left her with total amnesia. With the help of Lexa Bridge, the local Sheriff and her new best friend she is trying to piece her life back together and learn more about who she was before the accident.
Essauberg under the surface is not what it seems to be though. Hiding in plain sight there are eternal forces at work and a familiar face is looking for his own answers. Doctor Marcus Knort is on a mission to find the Origin, the location of the very first Rift on Earth and he believes he has found it in the mountains just north of Essauberg. Posing as a student he has been living in the sleepy town for months backed up by a mysterious Aemon who calls this idyllic town home. With his theory all but proven, Marcus asks the Regent to come to Essauberg to review his findings, little knowing during his work he had tripped an ancient trap and unleashed a darkness over this sleepy town.
For Cali and Lexa what should have been a girl's night out up in the forest takes a darker twist as they are forced back to their official duties, sent to investigate an emergency call from a local resident only to find a gruesome bloodbath. On the run from creatures that defy belief as these vicious predators close in, Cali finds herself faced with her own past, realising her life is not quite what she had thought it was as she learns the secret of who she really is but perhaps more importantly, what she really is."

Following on from the Forgotten Library, Darkseed is the first book of the Prophecies Saga following events in a sleepy town in New Hampshire however things are not what they seem. Follow the journey of best friends Cali and Lexa as they face off against creatures from your worst nightmare with the help of a certain Marcus Knort. Things are not what they first appear to be as Cali must face up to a terrible truth about herself, that she may not be quite as human as she thought. Will Cali be ready to face her darker side as she is thrown in to a world where creatures of myth and legend exist and find where her future really lies?
Darkseed is now in its Second Extended Edition with over 36,000 words of new content, heavily reworked and revised. Taking the original story this reworked edition paints a far more vivid picture as you follow the cast of the Pentalore as the Prophecies Saga begins. Also includes the Aemus Codex mini story which gives you a detailed look at the seven races of Aemus.

Insight in to the Endless Saga

It seems like the last few months have been a blur of creativity for me creating the world of the endless saga which sees not only Symbiotica and Proteus crossing over but the launch of two new series, The Dystopian Detective and Pentalore.

Pentalore has already made its first appearance with The Forgotten Library so by the end prelude you are more or less clued in to this strange and dark world that exists in the very world we live in however with all four series crashing head first in to each other, as a writer it is difficult to keep your head totally focused.

At this moment I have Dystopian Detective The Ancient Girl, Proteus Dark Universe and Pentalore Darkseed all but finished and a few days from release, ironically at the same date on earth at least as when the books are set - the height of the summer solstice.

As a reader though you may not realise I write books in advance in order to sort out any continuity issues that may crop up.

So while I have been working on the three books above I have already written Pentalore Awakening and Proteus Dark Empire, with Symbiotica Monsters of Tokyo, Dystopian Detective The Tourist, Pentalore Legends, Proteus Of Darkness and Light and Proteus Ghosts already in the creative process with significant sections already done.

Let's just put that in realistic terms. That is ten books. To date I have published eleven books in total, so Endless is effectively a release as large as my previous works.

And I haven't even mentioned Dystopia Detective Unbound, Pentalore The Thirteen Sisters or Pentalore Destroyer of Worlds.

That doesn’t even start to look at the PG rework of Symbiotica books 1 to 4, the Symbiotica Pure Series which will cut out the more adult content or a potential fifth series to join the group.

In short, far too many ideas, and right now with ten books physically open something of a headache.

You don't have long to wait though.

I am hoping on the 21st you will see the first of the new books appearing on Smashwords mostly likely starting with Proteus Dark Universe and Dystopian Detective The Ancient Girl.

Keep watching the skies for a cloaked ship stealing a 10 feet tall fibreglass cupcake...

Endless Teaser

The Countdowns ticking for the release of the first part of the Endless Saga.

As such I though I would tease you with the first production shot of the Apeyrons and set the scene for the upcoming cross over series.

Enjoy!
