The Edenix Cycle: Acrimony Arising

By S. Rodger Bock

A crash, a nightmare, a blinding light--in an instant, life changed for the dreamers who traveled to this virgin world. Death and devastation followed, making life more like a twisted delusion instead of the bright future the pioneers had dreamt of. However, when three of the town's young women are abducted, the people rally behind Dirk Bayo, a self-exiled hunter with the broken heart. Dirk must utilize his tracking and hunting skills to bring the women home. He must face his own fears and overcome his faults before the insane kidnappers spirit the girls too far from reach--or vanquish them forever.
