Anno Stellae 2382, Anno Stellae 2390-91, Anno Stellae 2392: RetroStar Chronicles, #1

By R.D. Ginther

The opening of Chronicle 21 Volume 1 was met with the ongoing destruction of the Alien Entity but this time it was the galaxies that were being devoured one by one. Meanwhile on Earth II, a young lad called Pieter will begin a new saga in this Chronicle, but not before the events of his life and that of his father and mother Mr. and Mrs. Van de Wordt and his grandfather, developed a back drop of history about this family. From the age of 12 years, Pieter had to endure some of the worst hardships, but one thing was for certain, he was not a quitter! Now a young man, Pieter had to overcome some personal tragedies and disabilities that would render a fully grown mature man an emotional wreck, but not Pieter. With his fire and determination he pushed onward.

 

Chronicle 22 Volume 1 started with a hint of the Alien Entity's force at work and Dr. Pikkard, a glaciologist and scientist, was documenting the flow of the glacier. It seemed out of place at first but soon you will see why this was so detrimental to work that Dr. Pikkard was working on. The Alien Entity was changing the weather patterns again and now Winter time was lengthening, while Spring was shortening. Pieter continued on his path of recovery from his injuries while trying to make a plan for him and his mother's survival. Their livelihood now rested squarely on his young shoulders. From one tragedy to another, Pieter eventually left his hometown New Alkmaar in search of hope. Despite his inabilities, Pieter trudged on only to meet up with unsavory characters. But this was life in the big city and Pieter had to make quick but rational decisions that would mean the difference between life and death. Yet this fiery young man would not quit on life.

 

In Chronicles 23 Volume 1, things began to heat up once again. Soon Pieter and Dr. Pikkard would find themselves in some seriously precarious  adventures on a number of their expeditions. Some of these adventures were near death experiences but as luck would have it, they made amazing discoveries in the process, maybe it was Dutch luck? Finally Dr. Pikkard began putting some of the loose strings together from previous eras and gathered more evidence of what was plaguing the earth. It came at some costs but this would not slow him down or his determined assistant Pieter. Woven into this Chronicle was a romantic development that may or may not be what Pieter needed.

 

These three Chronicles make up a total of 265 pages of intriguing mystery, a little romance and even some action and adventure. It is sure to keep you on your toes...
