About this ebook
We got off to a rocky start colonizing Zarmina, but three years later we were at peace and starting to feel at home. Then strange stuff started happening. We'd see alien creatures and they'd seem to vanish as quickly as they appeared. Then Zarmina, the world of perpetual light, was suddenly plunged into utter darkness for the first time in history. No sooner did the light reappear than a little girl vanished, soon to be followed by an entire group of miners. Then an entire settlement was wiped out. And now a ruthless alien army is headed our way.
We didn't come to Zarmina to fight a war. We're not prepared. We're outnumbered and outgunned. But we have a few tricks left up our sleeves. And we might get some help, too ... from a very unusual source.
Battle for Zarmina blends science, suspense, drama and action into a realistic setting. Zarmina considered the problems colonists might face in establishing a colony on such a world. Battle for Zarmina builds on those events to consider how humans might realistically interact, communicate and fight with intelligent aliens. But be prepared for a surprise, because on Zarmina nothing is ever what you expect.

But John dreamed of traveling to an even more exotic place, a different world, but one he believed could exist. Unable to find science fiction capable of taking him to such a place, he set out to write a thinking man's sci-fi novel – a realistic novel of space colonization that takes place on a real world. "Zarmina" came first, but he followed it up with new stories in the same setting: "Battle for Zarmina" and now "Return to Zarmina." Each is a stand-alone story that deals with different subjects in creative ways you haven't seen a thousand times before. And now there's "Re-Life," the story of a couple in trouble who takes an enticing offer to re-live their lives in the multiverse. But there's a catch ...
