Excerpt
Chapter One
—Lux—
Test a Theory
Ark, his fleshy white potbellied body encased in a somber gray bio-suit and brown boots, stood aside from the main crowd in the domed Luxonian chamber. He blew bubbles through his breather helm, wrapped his four tentacles behind his back, and tried to ignore the bright light streaming in from above. Planet Lux has altogether too bright a sun. They ought to shield us from the blasted thing. He squinted and averted his eyes.
The Luxonian meeting hall, punctuated with purple-veined marble columns and glorious fountains shaped like creatures from every planet in the district, was filled to capacity with representatives from four races: Crestonian, Bhuaci, Luxonian, and Ingoti.
He studied a Luxonian Lightbird sculpture, as it appeared to fly into the air, spraying clear water from its beak. With a shrug, he shifted to the more fascinating Crestonian Sandfish, spouting green liquid from its razor-toothed jaws. A shiver rolled down his spine.
Dragging his gaze away, Ark nonchalantly shifted his stance and waited for his superior to approach. It would never do to appear hasty.

With Gems of Wisdom Sprinkled Throughout
As a wife, a mother of eight, and a prayerful Catholic Christian, the author, Ann Frailey, has undoubtedly gathered many gems of wisdom from her life experiences. In Ishtar's Reemption, she sprinkles some of those gems throughout the story. My favorite is a story-within-the-story told in the very last chapter. It is a brief tale about a young man who travels far and wide then returns to his people. Through the tale, Ms. Frailey shows us, as only a good storyteller can, how our pride can cause unintended hurt and how humility and kindness can intertwine to enable us to be blessings to one another.
The series gets even more exciting!
In the latest in the OldEarth series, the tribe encounters evil on both a small and large scale. Faith is the factor that matters most in this battle. Frailey has once again done a splendid job of tying together mankind's past with its future!
Great book for all readers
Ishtar's Redemption continues the story of the early years of mankind as man struggles to survive and live with others. Ann Frailey weaves the story of each character as they face danger and dilemmas and must make moral decisions concerning their fate. It describes the natural inclination of man to seek the truth. It ultimately leads some of them to the Creator and others to follow the ways of evil. The author is able to infuse wisdom from scripture that is not overstated. The story enables the reader to see how the truth is still the same throughout the ages. A good fiction story line with Christian values that is suitable for any age group. I'm anxiously waiting for the third book of the trilogy to be released.
