Science fiction includes the hardcore, imaginatively embellished technological/scientific novel as well as fiction that is even slightly futuristic (often with an after-the-holocaust milieu - nuclear, environmental, extraterrestrial, genocidal). An element much valued by editors who acquire for the literary expression of this cross-media genre is the ability of the author to introduce elements that transcend and extend conventional insight. 2000-2001 Writer's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers & Literary Agents by Jeff Herman (1999)

SECOND CHANCE: KING OF ZAYA

by R. Richard

Justin Imperiale is now the King of The Islands and the King of Zaya.

Seeing that Colonel Dakon Harkand, the Ambassador from Dorond, is about to marry Norva Lemni, the Ambassador from the PCP, and never one to miss an opportunity, Justin plans for the arrival of advanced civilization representatives who will supposedly come to attend the wedding.  They will come to discuss trade with The Islands and Zaya.

Following the wedding, Justin is stalked by assassins who he manages to kill without the use of firearms.  He then uses the incident to use some of  Colonel Harkand's Dorond Marines to catch the mastermind behind the assassins. During the wedding, there are any number of advanced civilizations who are anxious to discuss the purchase of an anti-gravity barge from Justin.  He see that the gravity barge is one reason why his old enemies, the Arquellians, want to kill him, while the rest of the advanced civilizations want to keep him alive.  He realizes that advanced technology is necessary to keep him alive.  Justin also realizes that he must obtain more scrolls from the Temples of Vorell.

A problem arises in Zaya, due to a water shortage and he is able to solve the problem with a simple device.  However, the solution to the problem leads to a sort of micro-war with some Zayan's.  Justin's forces win the war and he obtains a 'cheap copy' of an Arquellian energy weapon that he believes may not be a cheap copy.  Justin also manages to extend his Kingdom a bit further South, as the farmers who accept his solution to the water shortage also accept his rule. 

As Justin tries to attract new business to Zaya, a man named Omaro approaches him.  Omaro is the chief of a jungle tribe and his people are being abused by Zayans that Justin doesn't control.  Omaro tells Justin about a magic sword and a scroll that contains secrets of the sky. Justin obtains the sword and the scroll at the cost of a war in the jungle and a visit to a mysterious temple in the jungle. He discovers that the 'magic sword' that he obtained is a sword used by a Prince of a centuries old civilization based in the South Continent. The sword is a high technology item and tells him the story of a march from the South Continent mountains to the jungle of Omaro's people.

Needing money to finance his new Kingdom of Zaya, he then travels to the South Continent with some of Omaro's warriors to recover emeralds hidden by the Prince who carried the sword and the scroll from the South Continent to Omaro's jungle. The recovery of the emeralds involves a battle with a jungle tribe in the South Continent.  During the adventures involving the emeralds, Justin discovers that the mysterious South Continent civilization that delivered him the magic sword probably came from an advanced civilization planet.  The advanced civilization planet was home to a race of warrior priests and their religion is very similar to the teachings of the Priests of Vorell.  Justin suspects a connection to Lord Vorell himself. 

Among the emeralds that Justin obtained from the South Continent is one called 'The Eye of The World.'  The emerald has some magic/advanced technology properties and will aid Justin in the expansion of his kingdom.  He then travels to Mervon for a meeting of the Association of Nations and to sell some of the emeralds.  There is an attempt to rob his hotel room and the forces of the South Zayan government are caught red handed.  The result is that Justin is now recognized by the Association of Nations as the King of Zaya.

SECOND CHANCE: KING OF THE ISLANDS

by R. Richard 

Justin Imperiale has become the absolute monarch of the island of Fori Novor.  His rule has done so well for the island that the surrounding islands place themselves under his rule in order to survive economically. 

Justin then flimflams the Association of Nations into letting him make the waters around his expanded kingdom of The Islands into the private property of the new kingdom of The Islands. 

A dispute arises between The Islands and the kingdom of Zaya over the ownership of an uninhabited island.  In the process of flimflamming the Association of Nations into giving The Islands sovereignty over the disputed island, Justin is approached by Zayan rebels. 

The Zayan rebels feel that they are misruled by the King of Zaya and basically slaves of drug dealers who infest the area of northern Zaya.  The Zayan rebels agree to make Justin King of Zaya if he can solve their problems. 

Justin doesn't want to war with the drug dealers, so he adopts a simple strategy of stealing the drug dealers drugs and money.  As a result of the wealth transfer, the drug dealer empire collapses and Justin becomes the King of northern Zaya. 

Justin's new title of King of Zaya pus him at conflict with the current King of Zaya.  A war is likely.  The old King has tanks and Justin has none.  Justin has the means to fight the old King's tanks, but then the tanks would be destroyed.  Justin decides to 'acquire' some of the old King's tanks and other armament.  Of course, since it's Justin, theft is in play.  However, the Zayan rebels also acquire some tanks.  The balance begins to swing in favor of Justin.

 Justin reasons that the current King of Zaya lives in a palace in Zaya City and there's only one King in the palace.  Thus Justin feels that the right commando can take down the current King of Zaya and win the war.  As a result, a disguised Justin travels to Zaya City to take care of business.  The old King has heavily armed guards, Justin has mainly his wits.  It's not an even  match.

THE OMEGA TRIBE Book I

by H. Paul Guerra

Dr. Wilcoxen is a physician turned CIA agent and government cleric, a highly trained investigator and enforcer of “compliance” in a futuristic America now controlled by the one world government of The United Nations Alliance (UNA).  It is a world in the year 2033 that has a few holdout nations attempting to remain free of the totalitarian grip of UNA, yet still under the spellbinding influence of an all powerful computer named OMNI.

Dr. Wilcoxen, the wife of a younger FBI agent also turned government cleric, discovers that a former nemesis named Dr. Roger Zurnow, a geneticist and trauma surgeon is still secretly alive after feigning his death.  This mad scientist they believed was jailed and left for dead near Mount Rushmore has reemerged as a scourge to the human race with the highly clandestine recreation of his own human cloning empire, HELIX.

While on a romantic getaway, the couple discovers the shocking death of an Argentinean monk and close friend by a dark couple working for HELIX leading them to more hair raising discoveries of the secret introduction of human clones into society and a bold plan to wipe out the human race and replace it with HELIX clones.  Dr. Wilcoxen finds herself in both a heart-pounding race against time to find answers to halt this mad scientist and a dizzying flee for her own life and those of her loved ones. 

Even more unexpectedly, she finds herself coming face-to-face with the daunting reason for her close friend’s barbaric slaughter, the discovery of a mysterious relic near the ruins of Machu Picchu, an object that holds the key to the ultimate survival of the human race......

The Omega Tribe is a thriller read that eloquently explores the connection between what we easily see and understand and the difficult to conceptualize unexplored realm of our universe and beyond.

SECOND CHANCE: SCROLL SEEKER

by R. Richard 

Justin prepares for an arbitration hearing to decide if he’ll die as a result of being a Kivosh.  He begins to discover the power of the alien language he’s learning.  He is then subjected to PCP charges because of his Kivosh status, but is able to convince the Arbitrator that the charges are based upon conclusions, not facts.  They then charge that he is in possession of banned technology, specifically anti-gravitation.  He produces the math that he supposedly used to produce his own anti-gravitational device and is cleared of the charges against him. 

The Arquellian Arbitrator then tells Justin, privately, that they need to recover a stolen manuscript, but won’t describe it. However, the order to Justin is, 'Recover the manuscript or die.'  He does manage to get information that the manuscript the Arquellians seek is in the possession of the Priests of Vorell.  Justin returns to Alvero, where he and Ashoro once failed to gain the manuscript that is obviously the one the Arquellians want.  Justin talks to the High Priest and convinces him that the Arquellians will soon raid the Temple to acquire the manuscript.  The High Priest agrees to give the manuscript to Justin if he can kill him in an unarmed combat duel, so that no one will know that Justin has the manuscript.

After obtaining the manuscript from a man willing to die doing his duty, Justin realizes that he needs to play the advanced cultures, one against the other, if he’s to survive. He manages to get Norva Lemni assigned as the PCP Ambassador to Fori Novor and Major Dakon Harkand, a Dorond Marine assigned as the Dorond Ambassador to Fori Novor.  He and the Major then plan for the possibility of an attack from an Arquellian scout boat.  A small scale attack does come and Justin's forces repulse the attack.  He then has three naked whores run from his palace.  Supposedly the naked whores were driven in front of the cowardly Arquellian invaders. In the aftermath of the Arquellian attack, Justin arranges for a show trial to be held in Mervon.  The show trial is turned, by him, into a circus.

After the circus, a large Aozoran colony ship is discovered, heading to Corin, probably to join the Aozoran colony there.  However, the colony ship won’t answer hail.  A team needs to be sent to investigate.  Justin is maneuvered into leading the team.  It’s an obvious attempt to kill the Kivosh.  He leads the team and survives the attempt to kill him.  When he returns to Fori Novor, Justin finds that drug smuggling into Averon is on the decline due to his sky pirates ripping off the delivery ships.  Instead, the drugs are being warehoused in an island off the coast of Averon.  Justin's troops raid the warehouses and steal the drugs.   

Justin visits the islands of Aozora and begins to suspect that Lord Vorell may have been on Corin and may still be there.  He also feels the need to upgrade the Fori Novor Air Force.  Since Fori Novor doesn’t have a lot of money, Justin plots to steal the aircraft he needs.

SECOND CHANCE: SKY PIRATE by

R. Richard

The adventure continues.. Glarney Fered is growing younger with each life force that he consumes from those he's forced to kill in pursuit of his dreams, and is now almost half his original age.. He has managed to assume a new identity as Jahn Loght.  He has, under contract to the Primitive Culture Police, killed a dangerous criminal alien.  Now, the PCP wants to execute Jahn, because they know that he is a Kivosh who will try to acquire life force

As Jahn, he escapes the PCP and recruits Risha to hit a casino operation, in which they take a lot of money. However,  Risha dies during the burglary.

Jahn then takes the long road and winds up with a lot of money in a large city, still wanted by the PCP, the police and a number of criminals.  Tracking an exotic drug, he contacts alien suppliers, talks them out of killing him and even gets them to sell him anti-gravity units that the aliens must have in order to operate profitably. Jahn begins to operate under disguise as 'the Devil' delivering high quality product which he acquires by theft. As the Devil's thefts start a drug war, he arranges to end it, for a price. In order to end the drug war, Jahn has to shoot up an alien spacecraft and eject before it crashes.  In a triumph of skill over stupidity, Jahn and his best pilot rid his suppliers of a very troublesome problem with another advanced culture, earn obscene amounts of money from the other product dealers, and set up governmental level connections with the government of his criminal alien suppliers.  He then begins a large scale air piracy operation against other product suppliers. 

In order to really conduct a sky piracy operation, Jahn needs a base which he finds on the small impoverished island of Fori Novor.  However, Fori Novor is riddled with unrest, so Jahn decides that it needs a new King to stabilize it. As the only real candidate for King, now calling himself Justin Imperiale, he has to kill anyone who gets in his wayKing Justin then begins to run Fori Novor, creates new jobs and forms agreements with the large country of Averon, to allow Fori Novor to grow the spices that can only grow in their climate. With the criminals gone, Justin also sets up a tourist business. 

The other nations of the planet Corin, where Justin lives come to him with a problem. It appears that person or persons have been ripping off ship cargoes, and reveal that the cargoes are illegal drugs. Justin agrees to 'solve the problem', but he has no intention of doing so, since he is the problem. However, he manages to deflect the blame to others.  The Kingdom of Fori Novor then faces invasion by sea from the major power of Zorran. Justin has two choices. He can use untried advanced technology at the risk of his life or let the PCP, the drug lords and/or various powerful governments in Corin kill him.
