RetroStar Chronicles Series

The ongoing story of the RetroStar Chronicles continues with Chronicle 2, Visions From Space. As the horizon to this epic story expands, we see more more players being revealed in this dynamic action drama. Although this book is slightly smaller in volume, that is 38 pages, than the first book, the intrigue is not abated. Corporal Shickelgruber is the main character in this chronicle.

        And the saga goes on... More mysterious contact with the Alien Entity while  no one is noticing...         Still undetected by the planet's species of "tiny creatures", the Alien Star-Jewel inspires the corporal who will become the wannabe world-ruler Adolph Shickelgruber, the Fascist dictator of Germany.           Before the cataclysm of world war II gets going, however, showing a deep, pathological interest in ancient cultures the Alien Entity digs up "King Tut" the boy-pharaoh and his fabulous tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. Moving on, it ruins the world's first experimental giant ATV, the Polar King-- the brainchild of a University of Chicago professor, who thought he could conquer the world with a gadget able to run over and crush almost anything in its path.         The Alien Entity also visits Hollywood, and seemingly finding the enviroment to its taste builds a full scale pyramid on the set of a Garbo-Boyer film being made. Continuing on its quixotic tour of the planet, the Alien sinks a U.S. aircraft carrier, and explodes a Stanford University's cyclotron. All this, and still no one has caught on to the Alien Entity's presence.         The question is: Will Earth ever catch on, before it's too late?   This question you will find out once you delve into this Sci-Fi mystery thriller that promises an enjoyable read.

Chronicle 1 of Volume 1 called Anno Stellae 1912 is the first of this fictional sci-fi series written by R.D. Ginther. This book is appoximately 50 pages long but packed with intrigue and mystery.

The mystery continues with another seemingly random death of a wealthy steel manufacturer's son. Still no one is putting the pieces together, yet...

       Still undetected by the planet's species of "tiny creatures", the Alien Star-Jewel inspires the corporal who will become the wannabe world-ruler Adolph Shickelgruber, the Fascist dictator of Germany.           Before the cataclysm of world war II gets going, however, showing a deep, pathological interest in ancient cultures the Alien Entity digs up "King Tut" the boy-pharaoh and his fabulous tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings.

Continuing on its quixotic tour of the planet, the Alien sinks a U.S. aircraft carrier, and explodes a Stanford University's cyclotron. All this, and still no one has caught on to the Alien Entity's presence.         The question is: Will Earth ever catch on, before it's too late?   This question you will find out once you delve into this Sci-Fi mystery thriller that promises an enjoyable read. Anno Stellae 1918 Volume 1 Chronicle 3 is another exciting book, although only 50 pages long, satisfies any die hard fan of Christian fiction with a delicate hint of fantasy. 

Chronicle 11 of Volume 1, starts off with a lull which didn't last very long. Bigwigs of the CIA, NASA and other alphabet groups gathered together to discuss an impending doom heading towards earth. It took unorthodox strategic planning which catapaulted an unexpected character into the arena with the Alien Entity. How exactly will this all play out?   Chronicle 12  Volume 1, begins with devastating news of Canada's disappearance from North America, leaving only a few scattered territories; impoverished and barely surviving. Man landed on Mars and made an amazing discovery but will anyone ever believe what Commander Kipp Mina found there? So many questions yet the excitement continues to mount with these two chronicles totaling about 60 pages.  

The mystery grows deeper still as the Alien Entity remains hidden in the most unusual places. Lives are impacted when it is around and yet no one has been able to apply the strange occurences to this Alien Entity. Why? Because it had alluded mankind for a very long time. However, its presence is being sensed and even documented unknowingly, as unusual phenomenons. How long will the Alien Entity be able to remain hidden from man's knowledge? Only time will tell as the mystery unravels.   Chronicle 7 Anno Stellae 1985 and Chronicle 8 Anno Stellae 1986 are combined because they flowed well together. This action packed book of 34 pages will leave you wanting more. It's a short read but one that is filled with great excitement, leaving you with a cliff hanger.

In Chronicle 19, the Alien entity is on the move again creating havoc on an epic level. Stars were vanishing from the sky and villages in Canada's northern provinces decimated, were only a fraction of the devastation and worse yet, the ice age was descending on them faster than they can adapt. There was a large scale migration of the natives but by this time there was no one around to help, not even the Canadian government. Villagers tried their best to survive. The few who remembered old skills like hunting and fishing were the only ones that would survive, like Herman, who was taught by his father. All was going well for Hermon and his wife until one day when he encountered a strange event that changed him forever. But Hermon was not the only one to change, his son-in-law John began to change too but his change had a menacing effect on his family. A change that would turn him into a fugitive until he finally made a fatal mistake.   In Chronicles 20, the Inuit and the Dutch settlers had a symbiotic relationship and just barely so. Everyone needed each other to survive, or at least what they could offer for sale or barter. All peoples were at the mercy of their environment which was being controlled by this Alien Entity. What could be scavenged was scavenged to use for everyday purposes. Quincy Four Stars, was a scavenger of sort, looking mostly for agates and he took his finds to the Dutch settlers for sale. But this time Quincy found something that appeared priceless which Mr. Van Horn the dealer, somewhat confirmed his suspicions, but not entirely. It seemed that Mr. Van Horn had thoughts of his own that almost led to a lynching. Humanity once again had crossed paths with the Alien Entity and the worse depiction of a person's character, even in the best of persons, is manifested. Lies, injustice, discrimination and much more laid the groundwork for evil in the hearts of people. Will mankind be able to survive this onslaught of evil?

In Chronicle 13 Volume 1, the scene has shifted to a very disturbing 10 year old called Master Chillingsworth, who has the most bizarre yet macabre hobbies. What changed this once sweet and innocent little boy into the beast he has become? So disturbing were his hobbies that he was arrested by the police. This finally caught the attention of his parents that these 'hobbies' of his were not merely growing pains that their son was experiencing. But rather something else that was dark and foreboding. They immediately whisked him away to military school, but is it too late?   Chronicle 14 volume 1, Chillingsworth grows up but somehow this awkward genius has changed into that menacing character he once was in his youth. But this time his gruesome hobbies have been fine tuned into a weapon that can alter life as we know it. He seems to be on a path of destruction, and not even his parent can stop him this time.   Chronicle 15 Volume 1, unlike Chillingsworth with his gruesome ideas and an even more grotesque creation, another character has arose amidst this ongoing saga and he proves to be the most ideal nemesis for Chillingsworth. He is definitely not on board with Chillingsworth ideologies, therefore Honorable Judge Nilsson plays by his own rules which are unorthodox and they get the job done. It is this unpredictable behavior that keeps Chillingsworth on his toes. Nevertheless this just slows Chillingsworth down, a little, not stops him. Chillingsworth is a very persuasive character and soon he has the right people on board with his fanatical plans. Nilsson too must create his own 'board' or rather a committee of Chillingsworth's adversaries. Not everyone wants a world leader, especially one with the likes of Chillingsworth. Nilsson realizes that he needs to meet fire with fire but the conventional 'fire' is unable to put this maniac's 'fire' out. Nilsson will have to seek answers and advice from undocumented sources in order to stay well beyond the tentacles of Chillingsworth's reach.   Chronicle 16 Volume 1, Chillingsworth achieves his greatest victory to become world leader. But Nilsson achieves his greatest victory too, to become Senior Judge in the world court, which makes him untouchable. As annoying as this is to Chillingsworth, he does not stop his plans to continue stomping out the rebels and to claim as many leadership positions as possible, feeding his lust for ultimate power and control. On the other hand, Nilsson proves to be the worthy arch-nemesis that on a number of occasions, was able to thwart and even hinder Chillingsworth's plans. But there is something afoot. An unsuspecting turn of events that will rock the very foundation of the brilliant Dr. Nilsson. Will he be able to recover and resume his attack on Chillinsworth?   Chronicle 17 Volume 1, although Dr. Nilsson was temporarily set back by certain turn of events, he was able to re-assess and continue his assault on Chillingsworth and his world domination. As Chillingsworth's empire grows, so has Nilsson's opposing empire which is growing, simultaneously. Both now are devising ways of taking the other down even with collateral damage which is deemed necessary. However, despite this ongoing rivalry between these two foes, there is a third enemy rising in the ranks.   These five Chronicles, Chronicles 13 through Chronicles 17 in Volume 1 are a lovely set together totaling 115 pages of nonstop action and excitement. The Alien Entity seems distant in the first few Chronicles, but not for long. It is making its presence felt and soon earth will have a much bigger problem than Chillingsworth to deal with.

As the mystery of the Alien Entity grows, we see a curious development. Still undetected by the planet's species of "tiny creatures", the Alien Star-Jewel inspires the corporal who will become the wannabe world-ruler Adolph Shickelgruber, the Fascist dictator of Germany.           Before the cataclysm of world war II gets going, however, showing a deep, pathological interest in ancient cultures the Alien Entity digs up "King Tut" the boy-pharaoh and his fabulous tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. Moving on, it ruins the world's first experimental giant ATV, the Polar King-- the brainchild of a University of Chicago professor, who thought he could conquer the world with a gadget able to run over and crush almost anything in its path.         The Alien Entity also visits Hollywood, and seemingly finding the enviroment to its taste builds a full scale pyramid on the set of a Garbo-Boyer film being made. Continuing on its quixotic tour of the planet, the Alien sinks a U.S. aircraft carrier, and explodes a Stanford University's cyclotron. All this, and still no one has caught on to the Alien Entity's presence.         The question is: Will Earth ever catch on, before it's too late?   This question you will find out once you delve into this Sci-Fi mystery thriller that promises an enjoyable read. Anno Stellae 1967 Volume 1 Chronicle 5 is another mystery thriller though only 20 pages long. This is an exciting page turner, which will cause you to return for more of this Christian fiction with a delicate hint of fantasy.    This is Chronicle 5 of Volume 1 RetroStar Chronicles. This little book of about 50 pages is a certain page turner and filled with ongoing mystery... Check out the letters being transmitted from the past to the future and from the future to the past, between the two earths. These letters are found at the end of the book as an added bonus.

Although spotted by astronomers in the sky and divers in the deepest parts of bodies of waters, the red star Alien Entity, is still elusive. The fact that it can move easily between these two extremes of physical properties is mind blowing. It seems to be almost everywhere all at once and the only species that seem to be aware of the Alien Entity's presence are the creatures that live in the environment where it is invading. Just when you think that a scientist, or rather any of the scientists thus far, gets a hint of this ominous presence, something goes wrong, critically wrong. It's as if this Alien Entity has unseen powers to interfere and disrupt nature and physics, even the physical bodies of humans. The most brilliant of minds are being systematically destroyed by this Entity, but how long before it finally meets its match?    Chronicle 9 Anno Stellae 1987 and Chronicle 10 Anno Stellae 1994 is almost 100 pages long. You can definitely feel the building up to that pivotal moment when humans will finally clash with this Alien Entity once and for all. 

Chronicle 18 at last brings a bit of closure to a few of the loose ends generated by the previous chronicles but not without its share of mysteries. It started in Greece where very strange things began to happen. Dionysios will definitely agree to this as his winery began to transform right before his very eyes! Structures and trees began to 'appear' everywhere.  It was as if Ancient Greece was on a collision course with Modern Greece. And this retrogressive phenomenon began to spread throughout the world, felt mostly by the densely populated cities and villages.   Karmelita Dinah Aquamarine Tumpo was one of the few new characters introduced into this saga. She became a significant contributor to the revelation of the mysteries shrouding the world. Not to be understated because of her simplistic form of communication, Karmelita was a woman of profound understanding of the times at hand.   Chillingsworth had devised a plan to ensure his safety from the rebels using the old magician trick of illusion. However, his plan of illusions, though well thought out, did not last very long as  disasters began to rock London, his home town and subsequently the rest of the world. It seemed to  threaten the very existence of life. Was this his enemies destroying the world in order to get to him? Chillingworth finally puts his next contingency plan in place hoping that he will escape Nilsson and his gang of rebels. But it wasn't Nilsson and his rebels that Chillingsworth needed to worry about, there were greater forces at play here. In the meanwhile Nilsson made an amazing discovery that became his tipping point.   This much awaited climax between Chillingsworth and Nilsson is in proper form, exciting to the very end of the book. Chronicle 18 Volume 1 is a sure page turner with 125 pages for your reading pleasure. Stay tune for future Chronicles that will certainly have you  on the edge of your seat, you will not be disappointed.

Chronicles 55 returned us to Babelen where the next generation of Sharru found himself in financial difficulties and his kingdom on the verge of toppling. With a great scheme to bring his country back to the top tier of industry, Sharru left on a conquest leaving his son to reign in his stead. This turned out to be a grave mistake for both rulers, as the son of Sharru, a lover of great decadence, could not resist defiling the holy articles of the Jewish temple. This put him in a very unusual predicament where the aged Daniyel was once against sought out for his wisdom in strange phenomenons. After a grave warning, Daniyel disappeared from off the scene, or so it seemed; leaving Babalen to face its doom.   Chronicle 56 gives an insight as to the true purpose of the mysterious jewel-stones seen throughout the eras on Earth II. Each stone, the next one more evil and diabolical than the one before it, sought out fertile 'land' to sow its chaos, with the hope of recreating its kingdom in the process. After Babelen failed, the star-jewel found another ideal target to restart the process of building again. The famed Iskander the Great happened to be its focus, but his rule was short-lived. Wally the pedometer pondered on the Algols, a fiercely wicked species of aliens who were considered as gods by Iskander and his people, but in actual fact the evil power behind the jewel-stones. But all was not lost, as FC became the dominant controlling player in the wargame, destroying stone after stone, showing them and even Wally that he was the unpredictable wildcard in the game.   Chronicle 57 introduced us to yet another evil jewel-stone, sapphire, which brought more evil than any other stone before it. More of FC's plans were revealed as the book called The War of Heaven and Earth was introduced along with a training manual held and instituted by Daniyel. FC was raising up his army of alphabet warriors who would prove to be the strangest yet the most extraordinary individuals. Brun happened to be one of those warriors, who entered into the picture as a captive first, then a husband to Andromeda and then a father to many children. Next was Molu who was even more extraordinary and with these two warriors in particular, the story takes unusual twists turns, revealing more about the evil agenda of the Algols. Yet more evil entities were introduced called the Gorgon sisters, who happened to be more fiercely wicked than the Algols. These creatures were tied to the Atlanteans led by Chief and Commander Elektra, and were somewhat shunned by them for obvious reasons. In the end, most of these entities were handled by FC and his army of extraordinary alphabet warriors, using unusual tactics to devastate these evil entities' agenda for world domination and destruction.

Chronicle 43 began with Wally still analyzing the Atlanteans and their aim to hijack and exploit the civilizations that the Red Star recreated. What really was the delay? Wally could only speculate. In the meanwhile Zenobia had taken quite an interest in Yosef again but this time this interest is coming from a genuine source of care. Even Potiphar was interested in hearing how Yosef was faring in the prison. Zenobia  decided to make a bold move to right her wrongs and with Assah by her side, they travelled by boat to some amazing cities. To their surprise, they encountered cities that were judged and destroyed and rightfully so.  Prince Daedalus from one of those cities struggled to keep his lineage alive and barely. Zenobia and Assah happened to meet some very curious sand ramblers, who happened to be familiar with Yosef. The scene was switched to Judah and his affair with his daughter-in-law Tamar. Just like the prodigal son who splurged and lost everything in the end, so did Judah, who almost lost his life in the process.   In Chronicle 44, the saga continues but this time with Judah fighting for his life. Fortunately for him his life was about to turn around but with some unforeseen helpers who were on his way. In the meanwhile, Zenobia and Assah with their sand ramblers ambled their way and discovered Judah. It was at this point that the companions split up and for good reasons too.  Another character comes into this story and that is of Asenath the priest's Lord Peternath's daughter. After his passing, Asenath found herself fighting for her freedom with the same spirit as Anne, Pikkard's niece, feisty and brave at the same time. She encountered some strange vases which changed her life forever and possible held the key to Earth II's survival in the upcoming battle with OP. But who will listen to her? To her dismay, Asenath finds herself in one predicament after another but thankfully there was a sweet pot at the end of the rainbow for her. Yosef's interpreted the Baker's and Cupbear's dream with the hope that it would secure his freedom out of prison but to his dismay that did not happen. Nevertheless FC in His perfect timing came to his rescue and so the saga continues…

The opening of Volume II, Chronicle 25 Anno Stellae 2415,  starts with a glimpse of the black hole from Sagittarius A West speeding towards the Solar System, threatening to devour everything in its path. In the meanwhile, Earth II is faced with a pandemic of epic proportion. Fortunately not everyone has fallen to the plague as George O'Kelly Little Soldier, a native Indian, had a dream and he was told what to do to fight the deadly plague.     Continuing in Chronicle 26 Anno Stellae 2433, the remedy worked against the plague and Little Soldier kept its potency against the disease a secret, only letting other tribes know about this powerful medicine, which sustained them tremendously. They were instructed on what to do to make sure that they never ran out of this life saving medicine. Although these two Chronicles are small in volume, they set the backdrop for the continuing saga of the pandemic, the devouring black hole and the Alien Entity.     In Chronicle 27, the state of Earth II declined as the population around the world succumbed to the deadly plague. However, South America seemed to be reviving due to the Indians' cultivated remedy that saved their lives. Still they refused to share it with anyone that they didn't trust and its secret could not be bought for any price. Then there was the vaccine that was created by the richest man in the world, Sir Francis Clarke, that rivaled the medicine of the Indians. Where the Indians helped each other without a price, Sir Francis used his vaccine to gain more wealth and power over those that were in desperate need of it. Lady Anne, the niece of Dr. Pikkard was no exception to the tyranny of Sir Francis. She used her wealth to procure his vaccine for her friends and employees, which she gave to them freely.     Lady Anne grew impatient in waiting for the wargame to begin. But unknown to her, it had begun but not in a way in which she could observe from her limited vantage point on Earth II. The information that she had inputted on behalf of her uncle Dr. Pikkard was working. Nevertheless, in her haste to find another way to help her friends and herself who were suffering  from the plague, and the cruel threats of Sir Francis, they all decided to relocate to South America. This decision came with a great loss but not before Lady Anne had put her final plan in place.     A new character by the name of Reverend NaSmyth is introduced, completely shrouded in mystery. But soon his agenda will be revealed and now it seemed that Earth II will be in for a very rough ride. Between the devouring black hole, the Alien Entity and the deadly plague, how can Earth II overcome the perilous times before it, with the worst yet to come?   These three volumes totalled about 154 pages will leave you wanting more of this ongoing science fiction, futuristic mystery. 

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...

      In Chronicle 28 Volume 2, Anno Stellae 2457, more and more destruction of planets and galaxies ensued as Sagittarius A ravaged its way towards Earth II. Only the moon stood in its path, it had somewhat shielded Earth II…but only for a brief moment. In the meanwhile the sun was drastically increased in size threatening to become a supernova due to the cosmic explosions of the solar  system planets. The red star a.k.a. the Alien Entity a.k.a. the OP (Opposing Player) at the helm of all this destruction, and always seemed one step ahead in the Wargame.  If these disasters weren't enough to be disturbing, even greater threats are coming from the human sectors!        On Earth II, Queen Diana, self-appointed as 'Empress of  Argentina,' sent off an expedition in search of gold in the appropriately named Golden Mountains of South America's Andean mountain chain.  Dr. Celman declined the opportunity to be one of the Empress' lovelorn explorers on the new Atlantis ship—all dying to win her hand. He had other plans in mind, namely to dethrone the Empress Diana. The explorers made amazing discoveries but they also experienced life-threatening, catastrophic events that would alter not only their lives but the path of Earth II forever. Thankfully the Non-tethered Butterfly representative of the Cray Supercomputer in Dr. Pikkard's Wargame, Wally IV, intervened with his un-militarized strategies. Otherwise, human lives would have been completely wiped out as Earth II would have been annihilated.       Chronicle 28, a nifty book of  147 pages, is the definition of a page turner. Filled with twists and turns, curve balls and mind blowing plots, your official guide through the mysterious maze of Earth II R.D. Ginther, really reels you into his ongoing saga. You can never guess what will happen next and at the same time you are satisfied with what happens next!

      The story continues with the sons of Yacob and their plot against their youngest brother Yosef in Chronicle 39. There is a war waged for his soul but eventually a decision was made to sell him. There is an interesting interaction between Yosef and the Ishmaelites, his slave masters and an unusual relationship seemed to blossom. It was not difficult to sell Yosef in Mizraim and for a very high price, as Potiphar was enthralled with Yosef and had to own him. Later on, Yosef is passed onto the Overseer Nu who took him under his wings to train him as his assistant. Still OP was re-creating these early days of this Hebrew clan but why? This was the perplexing thought of Wally IV who hovered, sometimes anxiously to anticipate OP's next move. Thankfully Dr. Pikkard had left an assessment of OP which could prove very helpful in strategizing his next move against this nemesis. The destruction of galactic clusters continued as OP surges towards Earth again. Can Wally stop OP in time? In the meanwhile, all he can do is hover close by to watch the events as they unfold and with the help of 'forbidden category' FC, maneuver the paths of key players away from certain destruction.         In Chronicle 40, there is a shift in Yosef's relationship with the overseer Nu, who worked him relentlessly. Nevertheless, Yosef prevailed, of course with divine intervention.  Soon Yosef was informed as to why he was treated so harshly but not until sometime after the death of Nu. Yosef, who proved himself to be a superb overseer, took over the position even with the approval of fellow workers. Potiphar was more than pleased with the improvements that Yosef made in his estate, decided to hand it all over for him to care for his entire estate.             In Chronicle 41, Yosef was tested by his fellow workers who wanted to see what kind of Overseer he really was. To their surprise, he was nothing like his predecessor. However, in his glee to follow the rules, Yosef made a terrible mistake. Recognizing his error,  he sought to make amends and make things right again which won the hearts of his fellow workers all the more, and especially Potiphar.

     Chronicle 29 Volume 2 starts off with the Alien Entity devouring clusters of galaxies and the black hole Sagittarius A West cleaning up what was left.  Wally IV in the meanwhile tries his best to find a new moon for Earth II and proceeds to outwit the Alien Entity to do it for him. But his plan was influenced by Dr. Pikkard, who along with Pieter, is seen in a unique dialogue discussing how to combat this alien force.       Chronicle 30 helps to give more insight concerning the differences between Earth I and Earth II from the point of view of Captain Emerson. He served under Commander Nilsson in his vendetta against Chillingsworth. It is while space travelling that  his ship and crew were consumed by the Black hole and spat out again later on to discover Earth II demise.         Chronicle 31 starts off with Wally VI luring the Alien Entity into another trap but not successfully. It is here at this point that he has to wait patiently for his Opponent in the wargame to make another slip up. But in the meanwhile, he had to watch as the Alien Entity brings two worlds together which will ultimately cause them to collide and to crash. In watching these events unroll, we are taken back into time, to a place called Nazareth in Galilee. The key players here are Maryam, Yosef  and Yeshua. Their daily lives are stated in simple dialogues and other characters are revealed.        Chronicle 32, there is a continuation of this retrogression to biblical times. Pilatus and his wife Procula are also deep in dialogue which reveals much of the times that they are living in. Nothing screams retrogression to us today than  the words  'steam Caravan', although it was revered as a mark of progression for the Romans at that time. Pilatus is proud of their inventions, including the new and improved aqueducts. What is common throughout all these ancient scenarios is a lone blue butterfly that seems to hover and to observe the events.        Chronicle 33, Maryam is in deep consideration regarding her son Yeshua who was dedicated  in the grand temple by Simeon and an aged seeress called Anna. They spoke glowing words concerning him and later as he got older, he began to move away from his carpentry and masonry, as Maryam suspected, to be the Messiah. Yeshua eventually left home but this was not a total surprise to Maryam.       All five chronicles in total are about 147 pages. There is a shift in the story as the Red Star is trying to manipulate the past, however the blue butterfly A.K.A Wally IV the supercomputer is seen hovering within each episode. This is the necessary reminder that the Wargame is still at large!

Chronicle 42 began with the Atlanteans plotting their next move to take over Earth, taking into account Wally, the Red Star and of course FC. The Atlantean commander Electra too was facing her own issue as she was beginning to fade and needed desperately to regenerate. With her strength  weakening, she paid little attention to Wally and FC but was focused more on the elusive Red Star. In the meanwhile, Yosef fully took charge of Potiphar's estate allowing Potiphar to spend his time on the Ibbathans' retaliation and the reallocation of certain taxes into his treasury. At the same time, feeling the desperate need for attention, Zenobia, the wife of Potiphar turned her romantic advances upon Yosef. After plotting ways to trap Yosef yielded nothing but despair for her, she sought revenge instead which left Yosef in a very dangerous predicament. Wally tried to make sense of the Atlanteans and happened across some documentation about them from a relic from the distant past. Hantsbo was able somewhat to defeat the Atlanteans gaining some information about them without their knowing. Wally also came up with a devious plan of his own hoping to buy time and to learn more of these two entities, (the Atlanteans and the Red Star), and their weaknesses. He had been keeping a keen eye on FC and understood that this entity is an ally working against these two. The scene changed to another pair of heroes who, despite their contrast in ages, and genders proved to be wonderful allies. Bildad and Kezia are quite the odd couple as their adventures thus far had led them through some very murky waters. Starting in Babelen, one cannot miss the similarity of this city to that of Babylon, even the final outcome perfectly mirrored that city. And although Kezia experienced some collateral damaged due to the war in Babelen, she still remained obedient to do what they were both commanded to do.

   Chronicle 45 began with Wally deliberating about his deteriorating base at Tutasix, Meshullam's brothers being massacred and Zenobia and Assah's journey to Keftiu amongst many other incidents that had been taking place.  He was familiar with only a few of FC's moves on the gameboard, and he still had to keep a keen eye on the Atlanteans and OP.  Wally figured out a cunning plan that pitted the Red Star (OP) against the Atlanteans with pleasing results. Per-aa had two dreams and finally it was Yosef's time to shine. Despite Asenath's fears for the worst outcome for her future, she was pleasantly surprised by her new husband, a 'father who was no father.' The scene returned to Daedalus, who with his young ship crew, crashed their boat trying to escape the Mycenaeans. But this was just the beginning of their relentless string of tragedies. Tamar barely escaped her city that was under attack by the Philistines. Without food and water, she was sure to perish but her father-in-law came to her rescue.  Op the Red Star, finally meets his match and it's checkmate for FC.        In Chronicle 46 Wally was back at Tutasix making necessary maintenance on his base. It had been a few thousand years and he was aging but to make matters worse, the glaciers were creeping towards Atka where his base was located. Wally had to do some quick thinking to divert this impending catastrophe. Some time had passed now and Yosef had died. Strange occurrences in the sky had the people of Mizraim in awe, and another OP appeared on the scene.  Simultaneously, the Atlanteans landed in Mizraim which put the priests and the Per-aa in an unusual position, as they sought alliance with these strange 'gods'.

   Chronicle 48 begins with a review of previous chronicles, helping the readers to put the puzzle pieces together, especially the mystery surrounding the Alien star-stones. Even Wally IV was trying to grasp the gravity of each event concerning the Hebrews and their relevance to the Alien star-stones. Measures and counter-measures were being issued by these entities. Thankfully their missions were constantly made benign and even obliterated by a simple act of very significant Hebrews like Yosef, Mosheh, Heber and Ruth. Baraq of the tribe of Naphtali, answered the call of the Sopetet, who was Debora, to war against Jabin and his troops. Baraq, led by Debora, was victorious and was assisted by Jael, the wife of Heber, in taking down Jabin's army general named Sisera.       In Chronicle 49, which is the shortest of the three Chronicles in this book, starts off with Wally IV continuing his reconnaissance of another possible Alien star-stone, a.k.a. OP. This is the fourth Alien star-stone and Wally IV was keenly observing this one which seemed to have gone into hiding. In the meanwhile, the story of Naomi begins and the difficulties that she and her family were experiencing due to drought and famine in the land. Naomi, her husband Elimelech and their two sons made the decision to move to Moab looking for "greener pastures."       Chronicle 50, which is the final chronicle in volume II, continues with the story of Naomi and her family encountering their fatal mistake in moving to Moab. Instead of "greener pastures," they were met with  one terrible event after another. The only positive thing that brought a ray of sunshine to Naomi's miserable life was Ruth. Ruth shone brighter than the morning sun and decided that after the loss of her husband the son of Naomi, that she would remain by Naomi's side. They journeyed a long way back to Naomi's city of Bethlehem but not without the help of an unusual caravan merchant heading their way. More and more, as Naomi and Ruth headed closer and closer to Bethlehem, their downward spiral of unfortunate events began to reverse. Homeless, they were offered shelter. Hungry and near penniless, Ruth began to glean on a wheat field which happened to belong to Boaz. Boaz made special provisions for Ruth, making sure that she had more than enough wheat. Finally, their misfortunes were turned into good fortune, and so radical was their good fortune that a travelling Levite poet wrote a song about them called "The song of Naomi and Ruth."

   Chronicle 47 begins with a review on Yosef and what he did for the his people in Mizraim. It continued with the inauguration of Ahmoseh II as ruler, a Pharoah that did not know about Yosef and his deeds. This lack of knowledge of Yosef was felt with determination even amongst the common people of Mizraim and its leaders. So much so that they conspire against the Israelites. Nevertheless, there arose a leader, a deliverer from amongst them, who was spared a most gruesome death due to the intervention of FC. Mosheh, spent his earlier years as prince in Mizraim and later a shepherd in Midian, until he stepped into his true calling as a deliverer of his people, the Israelites. Mosheh's journey up until this point was that of a series of divine incidences, starting from his birth. And now on Earth II, FC instructed Mosheh on varying accounts of history, that appeared out of place with the current environment he and his people were living in. A new name Nor was introduced, along with the sky chariots to bring a long distant past with its future technologies into their present time of sheer wilderness.

      Chronicle 24, the final chronicle in the series of Volume one, began with the final adventure between Dr. Pikkard and Pieter. But not before romance began to heat up for Pieter and Anne. Unable to cope with Anne's carefree spirit, Pieter was at cross roads with their relationship. On one hand, he enjoyed spending time with her but on the other hand she broke all his rules of living simply. To complicate their relationship even more, Pieter can't seem to forget his initial encounter with Dr. Pikkard who warned him off his niece. Will their romance cost him his job?        But Dr. Pikkard had more in mind for Pieter; a chance to advance himself on an educational level, after all Pieter was proving to be a stellar assistant and a budding scientist of sorts. But thing took a turn for the worse and plans made could not be kept. Tragedy hits and suddenly there are new villains in town. New characters came on the scene, a Pastor de Waals, but only for a brief moment. There was a chain of events where each new character seemed to be passing the baton, which was Dr. Pikkard's latest discovery. Finally Dr. Pikkards work landed back into the hands of his niece Anne, but once again the villains struck and she was left in the merciful hands of a couple called the Egges. Soon Ann was able to finish what her uncle had started.        In the meanwhile, the Alien Entity's presence was observed and felt on a level far beyond man's five senses. A few people were spiritually awakened to see the catastrophic destruction of the Alien.       In the final chapter of this Chronicle, Pieter had a very interesting experience that changed his life forever. His constant reluctance to broaden his limited point of view has finally led him down a very dark path.       Finally some answers to what mankind had been facing for hundreds of years. This slightly bigger than normal of all the books in Volume 1 is about 360 pages long packed with action, adventures, some parts that will cause you to giggle and other parts will cause a tear or two, a perfect blend of emotions. You will not be disappointed after you flipped the last page. For your additional pleasure and insight, R.D. Ginther has included  five Tables and an appendix with additional information concerning the main characters and the alien entity. 

Chronicle 51 started off by showing the destruction, or rather half destruction of the diamond OP which the living half found its way to a more palatable environment on Atlantis II. Then there was a sudden increase of OP activities with more finding their way to Earth II, to Wally's dismay. How will he ever keep up with these evil entities? In the meanwhile, one of these pesky entities found itself in the midst of a family feud affair, in a little village where the two wives, Penninah and Hanna, the wives of Elkanah, resided. Perfect for Penninah's personality, this OP found itself riding along with her but only for a short while. The Carbuncle stone located itself in Shiloh where it conveniently found itself in the temple there.   Chronicle 52 introduced the jasper stone, another OP, which seemed to be working in conjunction with the others. As if each stone was not a problem in itself for wally, now they appeared to be collaborating with each other, behaving "as thick as thieves". And while keeping watch on these entities, Wally had to focus on events taking place on Earth II with a young man by the name of Jona, the green-faced prophet. FC called out Jona to take a message to Nineveh. Jona immediately departed but intentionally in the opposite direction. Great troubles arose for the crew and the captain of the ship until they took matters in their hands.   Chronicle 53 began with Wally reviewing Nineveh's humble act of repentance and the dramatic change in Jona; all at the same time trying to figure out the mysterious disappearance of the three Ops. However, the next generation of Nineveh forgot their judgment and resorted to their old greedy, violent, warlike habits. A revived Babelen swooped in to sack and burn their city. But Babelen's conquering did not end there, it was extended to Israel, namely Jerusalem and its temple, all came under siege. Four young Jews entered into this saga as slaves in Babelen; but because of their high intelligence, outstanding character, and handsomeness, they were quickly elevated above hundreds of other Jewish captives to serve the Sharru, the great king of Babelen.   Chronicle 54 was a continuation of the enslavement of the Israelites from Jerusalem, focusing mainly on the four Jewish youths and their interaction with the Sharru of Babelen. Daniyel, the leader of the four Jewish youths In court training,  was the first to stand face to face with the king to help him with a very troubling dream. Disregarding Daniyel's advice the Sharru built an immense golden statue resembling his megalomaniac alter ego.  He overlooked the fact that pride generates every kind of evil known to man. The three Jewish boys refused to worship this self-exalting image and as a result were cast into a furnace. This turned out to be the biggest mistake that the Sharru has ever made in his life, causing destruction to literally leap like a lion at his door. The elements presented in this story resemble much like the end times which this 21st century world of ours is plagued with. The worship of Sharru's colossus came with the command that the people must wear the mark of the image on their foreheads and hands, or else face death. In the end, the troubling dream that Sharru had was fulfilled and FC showed his hand in judging this kingdom of Babelen starting with its prideful ruler. Just like prideful Nineveh who forgot to humble themselves  before him, Babelen fell into the same error. Wally soon had an even worse fate than Babelen to deal with.  Will it bring the end of the wargame's champion,  Wally the blue e-butterfly?

In Chronicle 60, Makon, Gorga was the backdrop for the next exciting series of unpredictable adventures. Makon, Gorga, a quick growing resort with modest potential, catered to some of the richest tourists there were and attracted the likes of Talulah Coldbank, the winner of Miss Teen world. A firebrand and not one to be reckoned with and even Homer Bean did his best not to be bested by this hellcat. Too preoccupied with thoughts of his mysterious ancestry, Homer can't help but to surrender to nagging unanswered questions about his birth parents. But one day, one careless slip on his doorstep changed all for him. Needing to convalesce in a warmer climate, Homer Bean takes a trip that will forever change his life and forever change the course of Earth II.  But these changes brought much needed closure for Homer as his nagging questions were finally answered. Not only did he cross paths again with Miss Talulah Coldbank, but his path also collided with some very unusual and strange bedfellows. On one hand his life was in danger at every turn, then on the other hand, his encounter with the White Angel called Azmon, helped in his much needed transformation. There was a severe battle brewing and Homer was needed to stand in the gap for the inhabitants on Earth II as he must confront Earth II oldest and most diabolical enemies. The evil jewel stones and the cruel Atlanteans that were plaguing Earth II were at odds with each other battling for top dog position; during which an old enemy from the distant past revealed himself. There were some very surprising, jaw dropping expositions that tied in Homer Bean in the equation, that will bring closure also to the readers.   Chronicle 61 introduced us to a new player called Quinn Ceylon the Bluebird, also known as Starboy, amongst other names like One-legged and Five Stars; all describing his very unusual and distinguishing traits (like the five eyes in his hair that shone only at night), along with his physical disability. Despite his unique features and his disability, Quinn had a different heart from his father and all his brethren. He longed to travel to see the world, to help the sick and maimed. But no matter what he did, he could not rid himself of this restlessness to leave the comforts of his home village. Then the day came when his father, the chief and Medicine man of his people granted Quinn his heart's desire to see the world. But it wasn't just the world that was drawing Quinn, there was a mysterious mountain called Shouting Mountain that was at the core of his quest. Throughout his journey, he was guided and guarded in the most extraordinary way, and his healing gift made him the most sought after man. There were many people still suffering the aftermath of Earth II's nuclear fallout, although this event occurred in the distant past. Quinn's healing gift and kind heart was in great need for a world that was suffering, not only from the nuclear blasts but also from the degradation of society that had fallen away. This was especially true of a city called Sealtown in Kolumbia, the final leg of Quinn's journey. But was this also the final page in Sealtown's story?   Chronicle 61 Part II, although not an obvious extension of Chronicle 61, it still helped to tie loose ends in answering some more questions especially about the Atlanteans and various other 'species.' This gem of a story was focused on a character by the name of Prince Tora Tora Tamemoto of the Mori living in Nergulia. 

Chronicle 58, was a chock-full of excitement and adventures, which brought a lot of closure to past adventurers and their exploits. We see the continual rising of the letter heroes chosen by FC and schooled by Daniyel; with the likes of Chiron, a blast from the past, the blue, poetic sensitive centaur. Then there was a brief confederacy between Chiron and a Paiute Indian young man named Mink. Wally also joined the forces of these unique letter heroes, showing their just as unique tactical combatant skills to these sworn enemies of mankind. Finally Dr Pikkard's wargame took a turn which ended these lengthy ongoing destructive evil onslaughts on mankind and it was not a sweet ending for everyone.   The Lost Chronicle started a story about a desert country goatherd named Qoph. During a time of great distress amongst his people the Arabs, Qoph rose to the occasion offering them a reprieve from their domineering slave-masters the Sassinids. But like all revolutions that go from one end of the spectrum to the other, and never in the balance, Qoph's hope-inspiring liberation from the imperial oppressors of the Sassanids. It also unleased the evil of untold greed amongst his people in years to come, with constant warfare and aggression. This did the world no good, and, in fact, in a matter of time would bring utter destruction. Will human beings ever recover from the onslaught of Qoph's reformation gone awry?   The Chronicle of the Nightingale is a beautiful story that recoups all that was lost for the people in a great trading, sea-faring city of  Baton Roo, that was under the thumb of a power-mad despot of a ruler titled the Doge. Utter ruin was on the horizon with the possibility of losing their city and their freedom. Yet an unlikely hero arose to rally the people with the hope to preserve their city and their lives. Reflecting on past exploits by a few of the letter heroes, this chronicle was truly a delight with just as delightful an ending. Pio was the hero for this story although from his rough start in life who would have considered him to be anything but a hero? It just goes to show that anyone can be raised to the rank of heroism, and Pio the beggar boy did just that. Not only was he a hero of sort but he was a singing prophet much like Jona, although Jona was not a singer, he was a prophet of judgment. But will Pio's  prophecies and judgments fall on deaf ears of the people of Baton Roo or will they be like Nineveh and repent of their evils and escape impending doom?   Chronicle 59 introduced a story of another unlikely and upcoming hero being prepped for another battle with the evil star stones. With just an unlikely mentor and grandfather figure, Nails Jensen A.K.A Gramps, a blind man takes Homer Bean, the soon to be young hero, under his wings. At this point, there remained just three evil star stones now but they are the most diabolical of them all. With the great prophet-trainer and mentor Daniyel retired and no other hero to take his place to help train up new recruits, it is curious to see how the future letter heroes will receive their much needed schooling to battle the alien entities. But FC is not to be taken for granted, the Forbidden Category is never without a plan. How is FC planning to use this youngster called Homer? No one really knows except he himself!

Chronicle 34, Anno Stellae 4148 is the continuation of the retrogression of Earth II and the life of Yeshua. It is at this period of time that the life of an obscure woman by the name of Noahdiah is revealed. She is exposed as a very wealthy woman and the aunt of Maryam, Yeshua's mother. She is also exposed as a miserly widow who puts her love for money above her own needs and the needs of others. Her character is rather unsavory and wanton. How long will she go on like this? In the meanwhile Pontius Pilatus struggles to stay on top of the political platform and his marriage to Procula. Knowing that his days as Governor are numbered, Pilatus tries his best to become political allies with the Sanhedrin but is this sufficient to secure him in his position as Governor?   Chronicle 35, Anno Stellae 4149 opens with Wally IV keeping a careful watch on the events in Nazareth. What is the Red Star up to? Why is OP (Opposing Player) re-enacting these particular biblical events? Wally IV remains silent in the background hovering over each turn of events to calibrate the possible strategy of OP.  Meantime, Governor Pilatus makes a big mistake which may cost his seat as Governor. Noahdiah too has had a change of events in her life; from riches to rags she now has the unique opportunity to put her miserly ways to good use, not suffering too much emotional damage from her downfall. She is able to cope but with the help of an unusual beggar woman. The story of the Samaritan woman at the well called Basemath begins to unravel revealing that the true water to quench her thirst was mercy. It is through Basemath that the paths of Noahdiah and the strange beggar widow converges at Yeshua, the living nexus that reveals all their true significance.   Chronicle 36, Anno Stellae 4150; Noahdiah is troubled in her sleep at night. There is a turning of the tide in her life and she has no control regarding its outcome. Her friend and constant companion seemed to have disappeared and a bizarre young woman seems to have taken her place, but only for a short while. Tragedy strikes and Noahdiah's life is turned upside down once again, but not without its amazing discoveries. Pilatus is struggling to bring about damage control over his debacle at the temple and instead adds fuel to his growing bonfire of errors. Now there is one last chance for him to prove that he is a true politician and governor, the trial of a lifetime, that of Yeshua. But despite the outcome of the fiery trial, events of epic proportions rock Roma, and Judea, leaving Wally IV stunned and the Red Star confounded. In comes a new player, who isn't really new but is unstoppable.   Chronicle 37, Anno Stellae 5909, Wally IV is assessing the strange turn of events in Roma and Judea, and also his position in the wargame. Is it all over for him? Wally has no choice but to stay the course and keep a careful eye on OP and its intervention in the times already past. Wally begins to oversee Yacob and his sons and their errors committed while under the influence of the Red Star. It is increasingly apparent to Wally that this Hebrew patriarchal family and line is of some mysterious but prime importance. But why and how?   Chronicle 38, Anno Stellae 5913, still more information is unveiled about Yacob's sons especially Judah. Judah takes a heathen wife and much is reflected on the inappropriate behavior of Yacob's other sons. Is this all the work of the Red Star? Wally has to wait this all out to be sure and is driven to assess the key importance of two individuals, one a grown man, the other a teenager, in this key Hebrew fam

Chronicle 62 was a very interesting twist in events with adventures and mysteries around every corner. Although this chronicle was based on battles fought in cyberspace with the cybernauts also known as the Argonauts, the battles that they fought were the continuation of the fierce onslaught on Earth II by the evil jewel stones, unknown to them. A few of the  Argonauts aboard the Argo V white ship were flash backs from the past who were put back into the wargame to complete their initial mission. A blast from the past such as Ero, Pikkard, Pieter and Horace, all came together to finish the wargame. Like Jason and the Argonauts, these Cybernauts were also pursuing the golden fleece, while the black ship filled with pirates were pursuing them. Coming on to the final leg of the quest of the golden fleece, it became apparent to these Argonauts that there was something more important to discover. Something that changed their outlook on life, that changed them and their pursuits. Although they were dealt very devastating blows on this quest, the lessons they learnt were not in vain but aided in their transformation. With each port where they docked their ship, some of these Argonauts found themselves encountering stranger and stranger people who played vital roles in their continual survival on the seas. The Black ship was never very far away prowling and seeking for any opportunity to annihilate them. But the Argonauts made an amazing discovery that changed them, and the direction of this wargame forever.

The Knights Of The Axes Of Honor, a sequel and spin-off to Chronicle 62, brought much needed closure to the many mysteries and devastations that rocked Earth II. Two new heroes arose in this very delightful tale of espionage, car chases, kidnapping, murders and much, more, will leave you hanging at the edge of your seat and wanting more. The adventurers/heroes were two unlikely young men whose lives became intertwined because of extraordinary circumstances, due to the influence of FC. Ero, the Greek athlete, thrown into the wargame with Captain Pikkard in the Argo V, found himself in a series of adventures that led him to Damon. Forged together like brothers, these two were handpicked by FC to further assault the kingdom of darkness operated by the evil jewel stones. These two young heroes are taken to their first mission together where they encountered their mentor Tithonus, quite by accident. Altogether these three became five, then two again and finally two more heroes joined Ero and Damon to be four, for one more severe battle. Disasters are looming, and now the four horsemen, the knights of the axes of honor must ride!
