LEGACY OF THE TERRANS
[Novel Series of the Terrans Timeline]
​
​
​
BOOK ONE: THE GATHERING DAWN
(Published in 2017)
​​
What if God had written a different script?
Millennia ago, the Celestial Beings served the will of the Almighty until the rebellion of Setha and his followers. Exiled to Earth, these Dark Lords ruled humanity’s development for a hundred centuries. Despite efforts by Millennium Traveler guardians to wage a “Cosmic War” against their evil influences, Lord Setha and his minions continue to plot their escape into the Universal Realm.
​
The Forevermen are a group of humans selected by the Celestials from throughout history to combat any persons who willingly assist the Dark Lords. They have been given a form of immortality and use of the “Kreeos”, the residual power of the Almighty’s Creation. Follow Marcus Titan as he gathers his team to confront Luther von Jade and his Global Empire at the dawn of a shift in mankind’s destiny.
​
​
BOOK TWO: THE EAGLES OF WAR
(Published in 2018)
​
The Almighty’s Grand Plan Continues…
Near the close of the 21st Century, the Forevermen (immortals created by the Celestials) had defeated the plans of the undying Emperor Luther von Jade and his evil Dark Forevermen. The destruction of the Zodious Project had not only saved the Earth (Terra) from obliteration but also prevented the Dark Lords (evil Celestials imprisoned by the Almighty) from escaping back into the Universe.
​
Ninety-five years later, Emperor Jade still rules Earth’s system and continues his plans to free the Dark Lords and spread across the cosmos. The ancient Marcus Titan and his Forevermen have worked secretly for centuries to undermine Imperial efforts through faith in the Almighty and use of the “Kreeos”, the mystical residual power of Creation. Titan’s team must now foil Jade’s latest plot while also seeking to rescue the remnants of Humanity from extermination by the Terran Realm’s tech enhanced Nano sapiens.
​
​
BOOK THREE: EXODUS OF EMPIRE
(Published in 2019)
​
For more than a century, Marcus Titan and his immortal Forevermen team, through faith in the Almighty and use of the magic-like “Kreeos”, the residual power of Creation, have fought the evil forces of Luther von Jade and his own Dark Forevermen to prevent the release of fallen Celestial entities known as the Dark Lords from their earthly confinement. They also sought to protect the dwindling remainder of old mankind from being annihilated by Jade’s Imperial Terran Realm. The Forevermen managed to rescue an Outland tribe of humans called the “Eagles” and safeguard them on the rebellious colony moon Ganymede. For a time, they were safe.
After a period of tenuous peace between Terra and the independent minded Ganymede Nation, courtesy of a nano-virus introduced by the Forevermen years before, Marcus Titan learns of the continued efforts of Emperor Jade to free his evil masters and advance his own imperial interests into the universe beyond. Seeking to fulfill the Almighty’s will, even amid dissension and sabotage, the Forevermen strive to stop Jade’s galactic ambitions, foil the Dark Lords’ prison break, safeguard the Ganymede Nation, and keep the Millennium Traveler “prison guards” (Celestials) from destroying the earth. But, have these immortal humans finally bitten off more than they can chew?
​
​
BOOK FOUR: SHADOW STORM RISING
(Published in 2020)
​
All part of the Grand Plan?
Terra (Earth) has been destroyed in an attempt to prevent fallen Celestials known as the Dark Lords from going free due to the assistance of Emperor Jade and his Dark Forevermen, immortal humans that were created from stolen mystical nanotechnology and utilize “Shadow magic”, a corruption of the Kreeos, the residual energy of the Almighty’s act of Creation. While Setha and his Dark Lord followers managed to escape into the local galaxy, both a betrayal by Jade and a sudden loss of many of their powers slows their plans to challenge the Almighty’s reign over all of Creation.
​
Marcus Titan and his Forevermen, originally created from Celestial Nano-tech to wield Kreeos “Bright magic” against the lesser minions of the Dark Lords, were rescued by the Almighty during Terra’s destruction and sent off to different far-flung worlds across the Milky Way galaxy. As each of the immortal humans struggle to adapt to new and sometimes strange worlds and their unique human societies, they learn of their new collective assignments within the Grand Plan as well as recruit unlikely allies along the way. However, Luther von Jade and his Dark Forevermen have also been busy upon foreign worlds seeking to build a star spanning nano-human empire. Meanwhile, Dark Lord influence emerges throughout the worlds of humanity – a shadowy evil like a rising storm.
​
​
BOOK FIVE: CORNERSTONE OF WORLDS
(Published in 2024)
​
A new element of the Almighty’s Grand Plan is coming…
On the distant word of Zia, Marcus Titan has lived for decades following being Divinely transported there during the destruction of Terra. Tasked by the Almighty with preparing the people of this planet for a difficult if distant future, this Foreverman wizard – a human immortal given the power of the “Kreeos”, the residual energy of the Almighty’s act of creation – has been greatly blessed with allies, influence, wealth, and a wise native wife. Even with very little contact between him and his Forevermen brethren scattered across the galaxy on similar assignments, Titan’s faith in the Almighty has sustained him and his adopted home world has prospered.
Many years later, a tribe of Terran survivors (the Eagles) arrived by starship and touched off a series of fundamental changes in the culture and faith of the Zian people. Complicating matters was the emergence of evil spiritual forces seeking to foster hatred and sow mistrust between the newcomers and the indigenous kingdoms. The ultimate goal of these "Dark Lords" was to spoil the Eagles’ (secret) prophesied status as the “Chosen People” and thwart the arrival of the foretold “One who will come”. How will the Almighty use Marcus Titan to succeed in turning Zia into a “cornerstone of worlds” despite much physical and spiritual adversity?
