The first of the many titles under the "Tales From The Emerald Wind" Science-Fiction/Fantasy Series. A story about two bored boys and best of friends living in a neighborhood fronting a vast hilly area (with a mysterious and bloody past to boot); tales of horrific, glowing red-eyed creatures appearing in every thunderstorm to devour anyone setting foot on it--and the prelude of the most exciting and eventful moments in their lives! With dying, blood-drinking aliens seeking to sacrifice them to save their kind, weary, masked humanoid President fighting his old, immortal foe to ensure the materialization of sacred galactic prophecies, the plight of surviving inhabitants from a planet destroyed so that the universe could come into being, fiery interstellar battles between the Galactic Union and light-fearing creatures enslaved by a dark legion, and top that with an unexpected meeting, at the end of their adventure, with a mysteriously ethereal being with powers to shape fate and destiny itself!...More >< Less
