Globe Splitter is book one of the Methridia Chronicles; a series of stories set in a vast underground kingdom, written in the same spirit as the tales of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. In 1892, Jonas Christianson, adventurer and inventor, finds his way to Methridia as he tunnels down through the Earth in his boring machine, Globe Splitter. His journey brings him love, unexpected wealth, and, ultimately, opens a pathway to the stars. The trilogy continues with the novels, King of the Moon and Wizard at the Gate.
When Christianson stepped out of the transport, he was hard pressed to see anything in the darkness beyond. How could they expect him to find his way back to Globe Splitter?
"Could you show us where you entered the clearing?" Brem asked.
"I can't see anything," Christianson answered. "It's much too dark. We'll need to come back in the morning."
"Wait here," Brem told him.
He went back into the ship, returning a few moments later carrying something in his right hand.
"Put this on," he said.
It was a pair of goggles. The glass lenses had a gray, milky sheen to them, rath | |  | | King Of The Moon
In King of the Moon, the second book of the Methridia Chronicles, two worlds collide: Jonas Christianson’s adopted home inside the Methridia Cavern and the world he thought he left behind on Earth’s surface. Jonas’ father, an entrepreneur and something of an adventurer in his own right, follows his son’s path underground, bringing with him a veritable boatload of trouble. Set at cross purposes, father and son find themselves on a collision course that seems destined to lead to dire consequences at journey’s end.
"Father, what I'm about to tell you must remain between us," Jonas said. "Absolutely no one must know, not even Mother, until such time as I release you from your promise. You have no idea how much trouble you would be creating for me. Do I have your word on it?"
Christianson had never lied to his son. If he gave his word, he would live up to it. Whatever Jonas had hidden up his sleeve must be important, indeed, for him to make such a request.
"Yes, Jonas, you have my word on it," he said.
Jonas walked to a nearby window and drew open the drapes; the soft light of evening filled t | |  | | Tracker
In 1947, on a military base absent from any map, a black ops project took place which, even after more than fifty years, is still categorically denied. The best and brightest Allied scientists met with a single purpose in mind: to reverse engineer a crippled UFO, prying the alien technology from within and claiming it for their own. In time, secrets pulled from the extraterrestrial craft send close friends Ed Reilly and Gil Randolph on a roller coaster ride that rushes from the desolate Nevada desert to a closely guarded industrial complex nestled in the pine forests of northern California. Working at San Diego’s North Island Naval Station, he encounters unusual problems with a submarine tracking system manufactured by prime military contractor Randolph & Van Wyck—the core company of Gil Randolph’s industrial empire. Soon, information provided by his grandfather launches Charlie on a frantic mission to deflect a deadly attack against US submarines, orchestrated by rogue North Korean military officers. In the meantime, Ed faces his own dilemma: finding a way to send Charlie data crucial to the success of the mission and staying alive long enough to do it.

Naval Station, Hamhung, North Korea
Admiral Park Sok Won clasped his hands behind his back and gazed out the window at the crowd gathered in the courtyard below his office. He cursed his President, Kim Il Sung, for dying at a time when the people needed decisive leadership. In the months since Kim, the founding father of the nation of North Korea, had died, famine had grown to epic proportions. Rain continued to fall in the agricultural regions, turning life-giving streams into rivers of death and destruction. Massive flooding exacerbated the chronic food shortage and |
