SCIENCE RUN AMOK

Zero to Hero

Jeremy Austin never asked to save a planet—it's bad enough being a "B" average student as the son of a world-famous geneticist for crying out loud! He didn't ask to be attacked by Gnome assassins, didn't choose to become food for a prehistoric monster, would never have thought consorting with wizards a wise concept, and he definitely would never, ever sign up to wield a sword in combat against a villain called the Gnome King.

But the discovery of a wormhole changes everything.

"Some discoveries are best left undiscovered..." - RCS

Scientists at his father's company, TerraGen Universal, have constructed a portal that results in successful transportation to another planet 2.5 million light years away—a planet code-named…Genesis. But his father's expedition to establish a colony on planet Genesis goes missing.

"Where one can go others can follow... at their own peril. That's 'peril' with a capital 'P' - just sayin'." - RCS

Surrounded by an army of mercenaries, Jeremy reluctantly ventures through TerraGen's portal and discovers a nightmare world—a world clutched in a civil war between alien races: one evil and Shadow spawned; the other… a combination of human and alien nations who are desperately awaiting the arrival of a savior who will defeat the Shadow Lord.

Survive & Deny

For Jeremy, the search for his father becomes lost in a struggle for survival and escape from those who would put the mantel of planet savior on his shoulders.
