Lost World And Lost Souls! Deep in the jungled hell of Big Tamtung, a forgotten island in the South China Seas, a miraculous ancient substance is found that will unlock the secrets of life on Earth– Prima Materia, a fabled material that has been whispered about since Biblical times. Two centuries before, Charles Darwin discovered the last pool of Prima Materia on Big Tamtung but his discovery was suppressed by The School of Night, a secret society of scholars founded by Sir Walter Raleigh.

Now, when a small group of scientists and fortune hunters explore the jungles of Big Tamtung, they must endure frightening tests of their ingenuity and courage, as they struggle against ancient terrors–a lost world of dinosaurs and a miracle older than time.

This time, I’m featuring books by Yvonne Hertzberger, Chris James, and Carol Wyer, each uniquely different from the other and great reads.  Continue reading “Spotlight on…The Home Team Part 3”

The Second Internet Café, Part 1: The Dimension Researcher
by Chris James
Genre: Science Fiction
95,000 words

“If you don’t have an imagination, stop reading now. But if you can sense the alternative realities you create every time you act, or omit to act, then I offer you a challenge: pit your imagination against my reality. Follow me to worlds you might have dreamed of, but never knew existed. Until now.”

Lucas Hunter has the best job in the universe: exploring and investigating alternative realities. But from the first trip he realises something is wrong. A strange American is chasing Lucas across the continuum; from Soviet Warsaw in 1944, to Muslim-dominated Europe in 1911, and on to Nazi-controlled England in 1967. Lucas soon understands that his superiors have betrayed him, and the world is on the brink of the first trans-dimensional war.

This title is available from Amazon US, Amazon UK, Smashwords, and Barnes and Noble. Continue reading “Book Brief – The Second Internet Café, Part 1: The Dimension”
