Havens in the Storm

by Stephen B. Pearl

A traditional-fantasy novel - PG14, adult.

     Left behind enemy lines, Prince Dominel finds his way to an abandoned strong hold of the slaughtered wizards. Here the lingering magic is enough to hold back the monstrous army known as the storm. Safe, for the moment, Dominel discovers that he is the reincarnation of Ackdominel the order's master. The only hope for his world is for him two become a wizard, defeat the Covetous God of the monsters, and restore the magical orders of man. Undead mages train Dominel, but can they do it in time? Even if Dominal can take up the mantel of wizard, he must still lead thousands of refugees across monster held lands to the safe haven the wizards prepared before their deaths.

     Rather a lot to ask of the eighteen year old, forth son of the near extinct royal line of a conquered nation.

Nukekubi - fear itself.

Nukekubi means headless!

     From ancient times nukekubi have haunted the land of Japan. Living as men by day, these beasts slip their heads free of their flesh at night and go in search of human prey. These hapless souls are driven into a terrified madness that results in their death.

     Ray McAndrues, a modern-day wizard, must neutralise a nukekubi that is feasting on the people of Toronto. He is aided by Cathy, a sorceress of numerous charms, and Toshiro and Kunio, two, Japanese, martial artists who have made hunting nukekubi their lives' work.

     As the quest plays out, questions arise. Who is hunting whom? How can you slay the beast that stalks the night without slaying the man who walks the day? What is the strange, millennia-old connection that binds Ray to the beast, and will it help or hinder the quest?

by Stephen B. Pearl

A post-apocalyptic, science fiction, environmetal, medical and political thriller, novel - PG14, adult.

Published by Draumr Publishing.

40 chapters, 349 pages, ~98,000 words.

     In a world where energy shortages have made technology available only to a few, a plague is released from an abandoned bioresearch facility. Brad a Doctor of General Applied Technologies, colloquially known as a Tinker, must use his meager medical knowledge to find a cure and stop the contagion's spread.

     As the Tinker combats the plague, the two technologically advanced nations in the area play out a cold war battle over the quarantine and the amount of aid to offer those within the plague zone.

     A story of intrigue and survival in a shattered future.

     Rating - I have rated this book as PG14, it is officially unrated. The story does contain descriptions of plague sufferers, violence and death, all of which you can see on the TV news or in a documentary, and there is a sex scene, nicely written.
