This science-fiction novel, the first volume of the Thunderstruck Series, describes the discovery of a prehistoric world that was created by the draining of the Western Interior Cretaceous Seaway. It exists in what could be described as a massive geode that is located beneath the Badlands of South Dakota, the formation of which resulted from the whirlpool that took the inland ocean underground. The ecosystem of this environment is sustained by chemosynthesis, the same process supporting life around the hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the world's oceans. What was supposed to have been an...

How did people first come to North America?

Anthropologists and geologists surmise that early humans crossed over what is known as the Bering land bridge thousands of years ago. Though plausible, this theory doesn't provide all the answers.

However, what if some of nature's more bizarre abilities could actually be incorporated into an elite assembly of carefully selected individuals? By embracing such...

Earthlings is an anthology of short stories, novellas, and an epic poem. Its tales are mostly science fiction and include elements of space and/or time travel, artificial intelligence, and even magic. Each story is consistent in the perspective presented, but some are in the first person and some are told in third person omniscient. Each of the tales is at least thousands of words in length, including the epic poem.

When the Oversight Committee, responsible for top-secret operations such as Project Chrysalis, learned what the Stealth had discovered at the bottom of the Pit near the back of Cretacea, they were concerned for the safety of the interstellar colonization effort that was being undertaken by the international community. A dozen nations had already become heavily invested in a cooperative venture that was supposed to establish a human presence in a new star system. The members of the committee had misgivings concerning what the colonists might encounter there, despite the seemingly benign...
