Orange Storm Duology
by Ned Marcus
Orange Storm
The Orange Witch
Pale orange snow falls over London. With it arrives life from another universe intent on manipulating the fabric of reality—to deadly effect.
Linguist Luke Lee is one of the few people with the skills to understand and defeat them. Psychic Amelia Blake sees what others cannot—a magic unlike anything she’s encountered. She, too, joins the fight. In her search for help, she’s drawn to another plane where she faces a witch of terrifying power.
In book two, the threat returns. When aliens use black magic to twist the universe to their will, it responds by summoning its own agent of destruction.
The orange witch hears its call and returns.
But she confronts a power beyond anything that even she has faced before.
A magical battle for Britain takes place.
Can the orange witch defeat the immensely powerful alien sorcerers?
Orange Storm takes place over 38 hours. The Orange Witch takes place over 7 days.
If you like fast-paced science fantasy, you’ll love Ned Marcus’s exciting new adventure series.
Note:
In The Orange Witch, Lucy returns to Earth, giving the book strong connections with the Blue Prometheus series. But the two can easily be read separately.

The Blue Prometheus series begins in London during the London Riots but quickly moves to a distant planet threatened by an aggressive commercial empire intent on exploiting the vast resources of the planet, regardless of the effect on the local population, and the intelligent alien species living in the vast primeval forest that covers much of the surface.

For Thomas Brand to save his friends he must first believe in the possibility of the magic his rational mind rejects.

On that remote planet, a young woman awaits them. She is one of only two humans with a knowledge of the wild magic of Blue Prometheus and the intelligent species that live hidden in its great primeval forests.

Time of the Dula Kaena - The Second Book of the Shards of Heaven
on Jan. 07, 2012
I've read all three of Amos Fairchild's novels in this series. The series actually took me by surprise. I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi e-books by independent authors, and the standards are usually quite mixed. This series was excellent. The first book did take me four or five chapters to get into, but then I was hooked. I think books two and three are even better. I recommend all the books in this series. The world and the characters he has created are interesting and great fun. I'm hoping for more books in the series.
