New Year, New Book (Soon)

Sorry to be gone so long, personal issues and such. But I finally have a proof copy of Ether ready, reworking it based on the sample I ordered a while back. Designing the interior text body, exterior cover and ordering my ISBN are time-consuming tasks, but the work is worth it. I'm getting closer to a finished product with some proof corrections to come and I couldn't be happier. Ether was delayed for the better part of 2009 and I've had some catching up to do, but the entire creation and finishing process the second time around (after Jaunt) is still rewarding.

Here's to a productive and creative 2011!

Deep in the Pacific Ocean, the spacecraft has been waiting two centuries for this moment, when humanity finally awakens to a greater destiny. The Confederation has other ideas. It possesses Strela, a new class of missile, thanks to the jewels, that can bring the spacecraft's secrets home to Russia. A new World War—and World Order—is imminent. If Gilmour succeeds, no one will know. If he fails, no one will be around to know.

ETHER

Special Agent Greg Mason must probe the clandestine mystery that is Project Ether, a dark energy superweapons program rooted in the forbidden research of a rogue Iranian physicist, seemingly in the employ of the Russian-led Confederation of Independent States.

But all is not as it appears. With Mason and his team of IIA agents tracking the clues of Project Ether’s origins—from the remnants of North Korea, the deserts of Iran, the decks of a fast-attack submarine to the wastelands of Antarctica—a shocking disaster leads them to the inescapable truth: the Confederation is already armed with this superweapon, and the countdown to war has begun….
