Here are REAL people willing to share their hidden scars and their joyous victories.
  • Book III of Paradise. Some say roll with the punches. Drift with the tide. Nothing can stop the inevitability of change. There was a time when 300 Spartans disagreed with such mindless thinking and stood in the gap. Now it's time for 3,000 to stand in the gap. Marsuvees Black is a force of raw evil who speaks with wicked persuasion that is far more destructive than swords or guns. Beware all who stand in his way. Billy Rediger and Darcy Lange are two unsuspecting survivors of a research project gone bad, who discover that they are perhaps the two most powerful souls in the land. Johnny Drake comes out of the desert and leads the 3,000. This is the story of a free land where people who worship as they please and say what they believe are suddenly silenced in the name of tolerance. Most will roll with the punches.  Most will drift with the tide. But not all. Not the 3,000....
