The Eridon Chronicles Series

What do a condemned English pirate, an illiterate Scottish girl, a mute French nun, a young Australian prostitute and a Greek juvenile delinquent have in common? They are all human/Eridon half-castes, and the Great Council of Eridon believes that they will be able help save their planet from invasion by the ruthless Warlord of Etiros. This reptilian conqueror has managed to steal a deadly Crystal of Power and enhance her mental abilities to godlike levels. The only way she can be defeated is by someone of comparable mental strength, armed with a similar artefact. Many thousands of years earlier, Eridon explorers concealed the first Crystal of Power somewhere on Earth, and never revealed its location. It is believed that the human/Eridon half-castes, descendants of these explorers, subconsciously know its resting-place. The Great Council of Eridon sends a young mentalist named Heathcliff to travel through Earth’s history, tracking down five half-castes who can help him find the Crystal, and bring it back to Eridon before it’s too late. However, five such different characters have little in common, and do not always agree. And at least one of them wants the Crystal for himself. And to make matters worse, someone else has already discovered Earth’s Crystal and taken it!

Using her Crystal to gain passage through Eridon’s force-field, the evil Warlord of Etiros invades the peaceful planet. W’taa Ofdrin Kitirrith’s hardened warriors easily overrun the unprepared world and take the Great Council prisoner. However the man most wanted by the Warlord, Adelrid Merylon, inventor of the time-ships, manages to escape her clutches. Adelrid warns Heathcliff and his half-castes about Ofdrin’s arrival, and they land in a distant forest and hide their ship. Their plan is to get their Crystal to someone in power. However, on their their journey to the Eridon capital Saren, they are ambushed by Etiran warriors, and the Warlord forces Heathcliff and Charlotte to bring the stone to her. Gleefully Ofdrin unites their Crystal with her own, creating a truly enormous icon of power, strong enough to bend space-time itself. She is virtually invincible and unstoppable. Aidan, Con, Kirsty and Katarine meet up with the Human/Eridon Half-caste Team and Adelrid Merylon, who has taken refuge with them. They believe the situation is hopeless until Con wonders if they can fight Ofdrin by joining psionically and using mindwave enhancers, outdated machines only kept for research purposes. Now the future of Eridon lies in the hands of four inexperienced half-castes, a team of mad scientists and one bad-tempered master mentalist. If they fail, the Eridon people will be conquered and enslaved forever.

Two hundred years after the Third Reich’s last leader was deposed, archaeologists finally gather up the money and resources to explore his mysterious underground bunker. To their horror they discover that it is still in use. The last leader did not die but managed to transfer his consciousness into his super-computer. There he waited, gathering his power until he was strong enough to take over and transform a suitable host. And now, finally, the time has come for his apocalyptic rebirth. Meanwhile on Eridon, another man thought to be dead also returns from the grave. But no-one believes that he is really the legendary Kamrys the Peacemaker, and he is immediately arrested and incarcerated on suspicion of being a half-caste! On his return to our universe, Delsaron Delfay takes over a timeship sent to investigate his arrival and sets out on a fiendish plan of revenge. He intends to collect five half-castes of his own from Earth’s history and use them to track down the third and last Crystal. Rhys Kelly manages to free Kamrys and escape with him to Eridon’s sister planet Terestron, where he meets up with Omadon and the other half-castes. But will they be enough to defeat Delsaron? Armed with a crystal and five of Earth’s most powerful half-castes, Delsaron intends to join his stone with the pair already holding open a portal to the Pit of Dark Flame. Three crystals linked together would enable the dark god Necronis the Unmaker to escape completely and walk this universe once more.

While helping the rebels plan a glorious revolution, Aidan and Charlotte are reunited with Heath, Con and an American Airman named John Land. With their superior psychic powers, Heath and his friends assume it will be easy to help the rebels overthrow their evil oppressors. But the mysterious Great Leader has dark powers of his own, numerous machines to aid him, and his own army of genetically modified clones at his beck and call.

On this parallel Earth the Soviet Union never fell, and the hardline communists took over in 1991 to continue the Cold War. The planet has become a grim, conservative place; dominated by religious zealots and teetering on the verge of nuclear war. In the city of Sydney, the streets are ruled by devil-worshipping gangs and terrorised by serial killers. One morning, gay teenager Joey Lombard discovers a strange vagrant youth named Daniel sleeping in his garage. He befriends this quiet, introverted boy who seems to have lost his memory. Meanwhile, an ancient being named Aktherion, exiled for diabolic crimes, detects the arrival of an extremely powerful and unholy force. Determined to achieve salvation, Aktheron unites five young adults and grants them the powers they will need to defeat the invader. Their leader is Arnie Selwyn, but Aktheron calls him the Daybringer. Daniel Sheridan wants only to discover the truth about himself. However, a priest tells him that he is possessed by the devil, and if his memory is ever restored Satan will rise claim him. Daniel is horrified by the thought and struggles to be a good person. Unfortunately he has strange, dark powers and appetites that threaten to pull him from the path he has chosen. Arnie and his companions have their own problems. They must set aside their differences and unite before they can hope to defeat their foe. The Nightbringer's coming has been foretold by dark prophets and is eagerly awaited by the city's cultists. They believe he is coming to destroy the world and bring them their unholy salvation.

During the Dark Times, the Eridon Li Kari people are still recovering from the malign influence of the Masters; a formidable reptilian race who had enslaved them from for thousands of years before mysteriously vanishing. The Li Kari live in misery and superstition, shunning their natural abilities and fearing that one day the Old Ones will return. Two boys – Kamrys and Ansharedan – are only four years apart in age, but as different as night and day. Kamrys has an affinity for animals and can’t even bring himself to throw stones at pilloried warlocks, while Ansharedan wants only to become a soldier and fight for the Great Serbidorn Empire. After Invaders from the Serbidorn Empire force Kamrys to flee his native village of Tyrian Servar, he is rescued by a crippled Seer named Janerian. The boy learns that he will one day help all Eridon Li Kari people realise their true powers and unite. But before he can do this he will have to fight the chosen of Necronis the Unmaker – the Nightbringer. While exploring local mountain caves with his friends, Ansharedan had fallen down a shaft into a hidden cave, where he accidentally opened a portal to the Dark God’s realm. Necronis dominated the boy's body and soul and began training him to rule. As soon as Ansharedan was strong enough, he travelled to Sebora, capital of the Serbidorn Empire. On his way to confront Ansharedan, Kamrys meets the love of his life; the warrior-princess Keriana. She teaches him to use a sword while he trains her in the psionic arts. They are stronger together, united by passion, but will they be powerful enough to defeat Ansharedan? Necronis’ Nightbringer has since become Archprelate of the Seboran Church, beloved by the empire, with an entire army of trained priests and soldiers at his command.

A serious accident at Rhys Kelly's work effectively ends his human existence and he is buried alive. In a near-death coma, Rhys undergoes a bizarre molecular change. Unconsciously he sends out waves of terror to his new race - the Eridons, begging for aid. A small scientific organisation called the Human/Eridon Half-caste Monitoring Team resuscitate Rhys and endeavour to explain what he has become. Unfortunately several factors rise to hinder their efforts. Rhys has lost great chunks of memory, and many Eridons are taught to fear him by one Adelrid Merylon - a highly placed politician and Machiavellian schemer. Rhys' burgeoning mental powers, many times stronger than the average Eridon's, compound this xenophobia. Naturally positive, Rhys believes that trust will develop in time. However the bigoted Adelrid aggravates the situation, and Rhys soon comes to realise that must escape from his evil or die.

Prompted by the evil Cult of the Unmaker, Eridon’s megalomaniacal ruler starts a war with the Etiran Empire. Adelrid Merylon then needs little encouragement to enforce martial law on Eridon and her colonies so he can round up his enemies. All the half-castes and their friends are forced into hiding. Only those who agree to join the Cult of the Unmaker are spared. Even Kamrys and his followers are attacked and only the Peacemaker, his family and Delsaron manage to escape. With the full might of the cult of Necronis behind it, Galactic Order forces soon decimate the Etiran battlefleets. Adelrid believes he will soon rule supreme. However the Cult of the Unmaker has an ulterior motive for helping. It is seeking something called ‘The Jewel of Etiros’. The Etirans believe this refers to their Empress, the Glorious and Dreadful Nattanru. While Omadon and his friends journey to Etiros to try and put an end to the war, Rhys and Kamrys work to bring down Adelrid on Eridon. Then Omadon and his friends discover that the Jewel of Etiros is actually a third Crystal, needed to finally free Necronis from his Pit of Dark Flame. As the Chosen Sons of Eridos, can Rhys and Kamrys stop the Dark God Necronis the Unmaker from finally emerging and bringing about the total and utter destruction of the universe?

On future Earth, in the North American continent, Human/Eridon half-castes have started to concentrate in disturbingly high numbers. The Great Council of Eridon assigns Ranados Taithlin from the Human/Eridon Half-Caste Team to lead an expedition to discover why. Ranados gathers together Eridon’s foremost Earthian experts; Omadon Delfay and three of his old friends; Aidan Thomas, Katarine of Carcassonne and Con Hatsopopoulos. Together they form the SPecial Advisory Committee to Earth – or SPACE team. On Earth the team soon discover that the human/Eridon half-castes left behind have managed to master their psionic powers and take control. The entire US has become a gigantic police state with the strongest psyker at the head. The mysterious General Frank Cassidy has been in charge for over a hundred years. To boost their powers PsiForce scientists created the Dodecahedron – a crude, grisly, but exceptional psionic enhancer. Only the strongest psykers can control it without being torn apart. It is so powerful it must be held on an alternate plane where only PsiForce officers can access it. Unfortunately the creation of such an abomination has attracted a deadly threat from the very edges of the universe. Beings that feed on psionic energy and swarm to worlds with an overpopulation of powerful psykers are coming, and there are enough of these psionovores to swallow the Earth and drain it dry. To defeat such monsters can only be accomplished if the psionic fascist General Cassidy and the SPACE team cooperate. But will all their combined mental powers be enough? Or will they need to resort to using the evil device that summoned these creatures in the first place? The Dodecahedron has the power to turn people into gods.

The psionovore colony that attacked Earth may have been defeated, but their sister colonies, still lurking in the depths of space, learn of the destruction. They put aside their differences and join to destroy the Earth once and for all. They form a mass big enough to eat the sun. However this time a herald comes to warn the Earth. A remnant from an ancient colony wiped out many thousands of years earlier, Lothar SoulEater has been ostracised from his own kind and achieved sentience. He yearns to wipe out the rest of his race. He informs Cassidy and the SPACE team that this time one Dodecahedron won’t be enough. All Earth’s psykers will need to unite to create a psionic shell around the planet. Lothar also states that chronospyker – a psyker capable of affecting the flow of time itself – will have the power to defeat the psionovores. However, while Cassidy and the SPACE team work to track down a Chronopysker living in Australia, followers of the late Colonel Melville decide to stage a revolution. Now before General Cassidy can hope to unite the Earth’s psykers against the psionovores, he must first unite his own people.

During the Dark Time, Eridon was ruled by the Old Ones or Masters; fierce, but highly advanced reptilian beings. They managed to defeat a psionovore Colony, resulting in the release of Lothar SoulEater, and developed a device for use in case the void vampires returned, called the Chronosphere. Fleeing Earth’s second psionovore invasion, General Cassidy and the SPACE team travel back in time to this bleak period of Eridon’s history in search of the Chronosphere. They believe this mysterious device will help them with their own fight, but locating it will not be easy. Here the Masters have enslaved the Li Kari people and keep them mind-blind and naked. The Li Kari are forced to perform the lowliest of duties and often serve as food, entertainment and sacrifices. The travellers have never faced adversaries like these. The Old Ones wear mindwave enhancing collars to boost their power levels and their priests, the original Nightbringers, maintain numerous open gates to the unholy Pit of Dark Flame. In the travellers’ period Necronis the Unmaker has been defeated and banished, but here, in the Dark Time, He is very much present, active and extremely hungry for souls.
