Mankind is out of options, and time is running out.


After America’s Hammerthrow fails President Hutton launches Project Prometheus, while the Chinese continue their relentless march to test and deploy their super-warhead.


Even a partial success of either mitigation mission would leave the other unable to defend the earth. Political tension flashes as both sides race to challenge the relentless wheelwork of the universe.


With their array of advanced technologies, Colton Taylor and Stormhaven cannot avoid becoming the final peacekeepers in a shooting war between the two superpowers.


Conflicts explode on the lunar surface while all of humanity hangs on the precipice of doomsday.


Pick up Prometheus and the Dragon, to take a wild ride across an uncharted political landscape, and the unforgiving lunar wasteland.

About the author (2016)

Eric is known as a writer of harder-edge Science Fiction novels with believable characters, action-packed plots, and a solid science foundation that provides the backdrop for the story. He lives in the beautiful high country of New Mexico's Manzano Mountains (where the winter weather has occasionally been said to resemble the outback of Mars). Before becoming a writer, he was Director of Research for a private consulting laboratory in Phoenix where, among other things, he experimented with inertial propulsion and power generation technologies.

When not writing, Eric plays guitar and bass and occasionally dabbles in art of various forms. 

He also owns way too many dogs… and, as a result, is often seen fighting heroically against mountains of dog-hair.
