Ever since he rescued her from Certain Death, Rose Brier has had a crush on Ben Denniston, otherwise known as Fish.

The Big One

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 17:17:42 +0000

It is the summer of 1947 and Europe is being torn apart by a war nobody can win. Nazi Germany occupies everything from the Pyrenees to the Volga, from Britain to the Alps. In the east, Russian and American Armies fight together, holding the line on the Volga to prevent the German Army from breaking through. In the West, American aircraft carriers rule the Atlantic, hurling their hordes of midnight-blue fighter-bombers against every target they can find. Yet, nothing can stop the madness. Now, America has one last hand left to play. A fleet of the largest bombers the world has ever seen and a plan to bring the war to an end with a single, terrible blow. Now, in the skies over Germany, nuclear-armed B-36 bombers fight their way past German jet and rocket fighters in a final cataclysmic confrontation. In a world gone to hell, the only option left is The Big One.

Affinity and Affection

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:59:33 +0000

What if Mr. Darcy did not simply ride away in anger when he met with Mr. Wickham that day in Meryton? What if he had actually warned Elizabeth Bennet of that gentleman's despicable character? In the spirit and wit of Jane Austen, Affinity and Affection explores the possibility of what might have happened had the proud and haughty Mr. Darcy decided to come down off his high horse, quite literally, so to speak, to lay his personal dealings with his childhood friend and father's former favourite open before the eyes of the bewitching Elizabeth Bennet. Would his forthrightness have set the stage for a better understanding between them? Would it have changed Elizabeth's mind about how she perceived the taciturn Mr. Darcy sooner, rather than later? And what else might have transpired as a result?

Light-Seeds

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 15:44:17 +0000

He passed silently through the castle walls, out across the lake and into the sunset while a defragmentation of knowledge was taking place inside my own being. The planet Venus, floating high above the misty mountains, glistened golden in the dark purple evening sky as I recalled what we had exchanged in one day: lifetimes of time travel, Zen of Astrology, compressed into one sunset. Truth is stranger than fiction. At times there are information portals hidden in plain sight, easily overlooked and often underestimated by those who know. For those who understand how to look, the truth shines like a diamond from the most unlikely source. The lake of life is its own mirror of seeing and of being. We begin this journey – the adventure of Zen magic, journeying into the presence of the unknown as if we knew nothing. Light-Seeds is St.Clair's complete work, including: Zen of Stars and FORESEEN - Beyond Time in one volume.
