The peoples of the galaxy are no longer alone in their fight.The invaders – called the Ditufgne – have an enemy with equal or perhaps greater force at their command - The Xorcerizts.This new - but familiar - race has an offer that not only gives everyone a fighting chance – but could fundamentally change the make-up of governance across the galaxy.The crews of the Dawnstrider and Ravusqan Raider find themselves unexpectedly in the middle of history. Alvon Gargarm and information broker Avra Pii K’tark’ah have key roles in discussions that might reshape interplanetary policy.But many questions remain. What is the motivation of the Ditufgne? Are the Xorcerizts truly intent on helping the races under attack? Can the disparate peoples work together to resist the incursion?Is the end of the incursion near – or is there worse on the horizon?
MJ Blehart has been writing stories in the genres of high fantasy and sci-fi/space opera throughout his life, the first when he was nine years old. Over the years the scope of his writing has expanded, adding a variety of genres and styles.
MJ has been a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (the SCA, a medieval re-enactment society) for over thirty years. In the SCA he is known as Malcolm Bowman, and practices 16th-century rapier combat (he is also an instructor in this), court heraldry, archery, and more.
MJ likes to think he is funny and has been known to pun and make snarky comments. Once, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a random stranger came up to him, offered to shake his hand, and then told him, "I just had to say...you're an odd-looking fellow."
MJ blogs regularly about mindfulness and conscious reality creation. He lives with his wife and three cats in south New Jersey.
