The book begins by following the sharill (humanoid alien) Nysol as he and a group of space pirates he is with steal asteroid mining spacecraft from their enemies, the kisleem (another race of humanoid aliens). When they are noticed, Nysol leads the ship guards away from where his allies are headed and strands himself on a planet to keep them safe. (The asteroids are on the asteroid belt in this solar-system and Earth is where he lands.)
Once on Earth, the first person Nysol runs into is Sean Miller who is out camping near where Nysol crash landed. Without much thought, Nysol zaps Sean with a beam that extracts an understanding of language from him, so now he can understand and speak English. Unfortunately, the beam also knocks Sean out, so Nysol stays around to make sure he is Ok. Nysol causes his ship and the beam weapon to dissolve, so there is to extraterrestrial evidence. Sean wakes up after a moment, but he is slightly confused now and for some reason believes that Nysol is actually his friend/co-worker Kevin. Nysol takes advantage of this and tries to play along that he is Kevin.
Nysol tries to stay hidden among a few people on Earth, but when his Kisleem enemy Poit(another humanoid alien) finds him among the humans, Poit decides to abduct them all. The humans try to get back to their normal lives, but Sean is pretty messed up from being zapped. Nysol wants to help them, but he also wants to join his girlfriend back in space.

˃˃˃ Will it still be "health care" if doctors don't care?
“If I was a doctor, I’d go to Africa and save those children.” That is how Hal’s medical saga begins. Even in 2030, young people who dream of becoming doctors want to help people in need. Hal believes that health care is about caring, and patients want their doctor to be knowledgeable, trustworthy and compassionate.
Hal struggles to maintain that ideal in college, but his pre-med education seems designed to whittle away at his convictions. Medical school and residency consume the next seven years trying to mold him into a cog that fits in their giant healthcare machine.
Contending with A.I. Assistants, cybernetic implants and robots, Hal’s journey is an emotional roller coaster. His wife Sarah does everything humanly possible to save his last spark of passion and hope; she even follows him to Africa in search of his dreams. Can she rescue his humanity?
The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad. With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest. There is one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .

I congratulate everyone who has effectively decided to support this my campaign. What's more, if you have not decided on this yet, but instead you are interested in, please do not doubt. You have a one of a kind opportunity to be among the first to receive this truly revolutionary book.
Try not to fear exhausting content and abstruse economic terms. This book is another! It will be written in a basic and understandable language. This book is for everyone! After all, it answers the questions that everybody asks. Furthermore, these answers depend on your well-being in the future. Rest assured, it will be fun, I'll deal with it!
My goal is a book which explains briefly by the grass-roots language the gist of economic phenomena that always helped you get rid of earned money by the sweat of your brow. The vast and terrible economic crisis! Crisis, depression, recession... It has many names. You were vulnerable and defenseless before them. But now, here is a chance of a lifetime; here is the opportunity to learn something that has always been hidden reliably from common people behind vague terms of economic science.
People who are far from the economy often don’t understand the necessary things. It's something hidden in the bowels of Wall Street, for them, behind the thick steel walls of bank vaults. Or, a set of meaningless figures of stock quotes.
Well, let's try to open the veil of secrecy.
People often hold the opinion: "Let experts and governments think for us. We pay them for this." But, we seem to forget that even governments and all kinds of institutions are not abstract categories from another dimension. Besides, they are not all-powerful gods; they are human who breathes the same air we breathe and think just as we do.
The primary issue in the overgrowth of the crisis to the Big Bada Boom is that it obliterates the economic and political mechanisms that are intended to eliminate it. It will happen once more. But, everyone can help themselves. How to do it? Most importantly, be among the very first to read this book.
Protecting your savings and lifestyle is opening the door to a new world for yourself. The key to that door is this book! Why not get it now and say thanks to me later?
This applies to absolutely everyone. The consequence of the economic crisis is a reduction in production, massive bankruptcy and unemployment, a decline in the standard of living of the people. The economic crisis is a phenomenon of our time. Still fresh memories of the recent World Financial Crisis 2008-2015 named "The Great Recession". Most of all, the middle class suffered from this crisis, while before the crisis its share in the total amount of world wealth remained stable for a long time. At the same time, the share of 1% of the richest people in the world volume of wealth exceeded 50% and continued to increase. Unprecedented growth in unemployment led to the achievement of its record in the history of labor market surveillance. In 2009, 199 million people were officially considered unemployed. Five years after the beginning of the Great Recession, according to the report "The Precarious State of Family Finances" of The Pew Charitable Trusts, about 70% of American families were in a "tense financial situation" regarding income, expenditure or general welfare. Before the industrial revolution of the late 18th century, there were no regularly recurring booms and depressions. These cycles occur around the same time as the modern industry.
The economy is such a complex system, to the point that it's hard to depict it pretty much correctly, or it's relatively incomprehensible. Apparently, the economy isn't pseudoscience, such as alchemy; however, the prominent economic minds of the past often predicted wrong. Grey men consistently draw complex models, and each year they receive the Nobel Prize for different nonsense, but they cannot foresee when there will be another crisis and how deep asshole it will lead. Although everyone knows that it will. It will be exactly, do not doubt! The question is only what will occur before, a local crisis or "Great and Terrible"?
I will answer some questions that worry many people:
What are the causes of the crises?
What happens to the economy now?
When will the next crisis happen?
Why does the middle class disappear?
Why do the rich get richer in a crisis?
How will this affect each of us?
Who is guilty?
Who is responsible for this?
And the most important: How not to become a victim of the crisis?
And one more thing ... Having supported this my campaign, you can save on taxes (such as VAT in the EU or sales tax in the US).
First of all, I am a man. And I am also disturbed by ordinary human problems. But, I have degrees in economics, political science and social philosophy. Cool, isn’t it? But, this did not deprive me of a sense of humor. Therefore, this book will contain sarcasm, irony, etc. Although this does not reduce its value. I'm just trying to communicate with people in a common language. In addition to theoretical knowledge, I have an excellent anti-crisis practice. And what is especially important, this practice is related to the crisis management of relatively small companies. This is something that is important for people, but not for government institutions. Also, merits mention that I come from a country that has been in a condition of permanent crisis (economic and political) for almost three decennaries. And this, on its own, is a unique life experience.
What cannot you find in this book?
I will not disclose the secrets of quick and easy enrichment. I do not know them, and no rich man knows them either. Those who promote this, just scammers. I also will not disclose the secrets of absolute happiness. Happiness is a subjective category, and high-risk investments are not my strong suit. If you want to beat the casino - buy a casino! I give only an essential tool - knowledge that will help you avoid unnecessary risks!
I set a goal based on the quantity of the first print edition of 1000 copies. But, the book will be published in any case. You have now a unique chance to become one of these lucky ones. You can get this author's version of this book without editorial changes and censorship. Only the truth, only hardcore!
And, if you are not tired of reading it yet, I want to thank you for the time and money spent. And if you cannot support my campaign with money, but consider my work necessary, you can support the campaign by telling about it to your friends. Please help spread this information.

The Nam Legacy is an epic love story set during the 60’s and 70’s. When the Rolling Stones and Jefferson Airplane drove parents crazy, teenagers found sexual freedom and peace slogans covered placards. When the Vietnam War abducted the nation’s young men and sent them to fight in New Zealand’s most controversial campaign.
After eighteen months in Vietnam, New Zealand soldier Jack Coles thought killing others to stay alive would be the hardest thing he would ever have to live with. He was wrong.
Although the nightmare of what he saw and did haunt him constantly, what tortures him the most, is what he has left behind.
‘Not everyone who lost his life in Vietnam died there, not everyone who came home from Vietnam ever left there.’
The Nam Legacy is Jack’s story.
*** The Nam Legacy has won 1 award for best opening hook in a story, and hit the New Zealand Booksellers Top Ten Bestsellers list for Ficton. (paperback sales in NZ) I would like to start selling ebooks in a lead up to the 2nd book in the series coming out in November.
***
This award-winning story swept into the New Zealand charts and sat in the Top Ten Bestsellers List for seven weeks.
Here's what Vietnam veterans and readers alike have to say:
“It is a powerful, gritty story with authentic characters.”
“This book took me on an unexpected journey. I laughed and cried, felt angry and such sorrow. A definite must read.”
“You write of the Vietnam War with the authority that must come from intense research or perhaps like Evelyn you were there too. The Vietnam sections and the dialogue in particular is spot-on, and convincing.”
“The Nam Legacy is evocative, disturbing and beautifully written.”
Author Jon Franklyn weaves an outstanding and noteworthy tale of sci-fi fantasy with intriguing twists and turns that will easily captivate the reader’s attention from the beginning. The author paints an exciting and adventurous story of swords and sorcery in a very vivid and convincing way. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and integrity. If you’re looking for an action packed, sci-fi fantasy adventure that’s packed to the rafters with courage, bravery and heroism, this book has it all…and more.
The book description gives a sneak preview; ‘Carbynarah is a world at war with itself. Created so that all living things could use the magic that comes from Essence produced by the tree pictured on the cover. Shortly after the creation of Carbynarah, Natural magic users (magic that comes from the DNA of the individual) infested the world.
Over the years, Natural magic users have been unable to overthrow the magic created from the Essence on Carbynarah; but now, as magical essence is diminishing, the Natural magic users believe it is time to try again. The people of Carbynarah are on the verge of uniting, and the Natural magic users realize this may be their last chance…’
Now, if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, I don’t know what will. But if you want to find out what happens, you’ll just have to turn the pages for yourself! However, I will say it was well worth the read. It’s my first time reading this author and I must say I was very impressed.
Captivating and commendable, this work had me immersed from the beginning. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. There are plenty of attention-grabbing moments in this page turner that will take the reader on a truly spellbinding journey!
It’s one of those books that come along occasionally that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. I’m giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery and enjoyment for the reader.
If this volume is anything to go by, I’ll certainly be looking forward to reading more from Jon Franklyn in the future. This has all the hallmarks of making a great series. I would definitely recommend this book and would love to see it adapted for the Silver Screen. I honestly think it would make a fantastic movie. A well deserved five stars. Review on Amazon
Turned at a tender age, and left with no memory of her human life, Elisa, the beloved adopted daughter of Talante, has had many obvious difficulties in her near two centuries of life, but none so frustrating as her inability to find love - that is until a dire mission leads her to Derek, another vampire turned in his formative years, and the de facto leader of a clan of vagabonds: vampires who choose to take no sides in the ten millennia long war between her symbiotic clan and the dominating breed of her father's hated enemy. But her happiness is only a prelude to heartbreak as she learns secrets of a past she thought erased, which may cost her the trust and love of the one who holds the greatest portion of her heart.
