The rules for citizens of the Home Time boil down to just this one: don't destroy civilization or its plan to keep renewing itself. Unfortunately, some people don't listen. Everyone's suspicious of everyone (and with good reason) in this tale of trans-millennial intrigue. Sophisticated questions about place, time, and sustainability weave themselves among the action.

In this detailed alternate-history fantasy epic, a race of Holekhor passes through a world gate and conquers Cromwell's England. The occupying Holekhor general, Dhon Do, and his half-English son straddle the two cultures, trying to soften the brutal effects of war and Holekhor religious intolerance. The broad, cinematic scope and engaging characters draw in readers to examine issues of power, faith, and loyalty.

Set in 2153, this complex novel relates the experiences of Joel, a young lieutenant assigned to the Commonwealth Navy's space observation team. When the surveillance station where he works is attacked, Joel travels to a mysterious nearby planet; meanwhile his father joins the rescue team trying to save Joel. The futuristic story features imaginatively drawn alien civilizations and plenty of intergalactic action sequences.
