WHAT IS PAST IS PROLOGUE I say we had best look our times and lands searchingly in the face, like a physician diagnosing some deep disease. Never was there, perhaps, more hollowness at heart than at present, and here in the United States. Genuine belief seems to have left us. The underlying principles of the States are not honestly believed in (for all this hectic glow, and these melodramatic screamings), nor is humanity itself believ'd in. What penetrating eye does not everywhere see through the mask? The spectacle is appalling. We live in an atmosphere of hypocrisy throughout. Walt Whitman, "Democratic Vistas", 1871 The two top advertising icons of the twentieth century were the Marlboro Man and Ronald McDonald. If one envisions from that dynamic duo a seeming lack of intellect, let alone a potential sociable health hazard, then may I suggest Ramblings From Remnants. To paraphrase from the past: If Brian Bex is to be adopted as the holy father of our political-economic-cultural faith, and this work is to be considered as his "Papal Bull of infallible virtue", let us at least examine what it contains.

Steve doesn't care who he was.He knows more than enough to realize it doesn't matter at all.Now living in what had once been the Creeplands and maintaining a thriving farm there, they are under constant siege from the Creep itself.It's still better than life in Lamals.And that's just how it is. After taking over the Citadel, removing Lynn from her place of power, stopping the Creep's advance, and starting to take over part of the Creeplands, he was certainly making a difference for himself, humans, and men everywhere.But with the problems that were close to home eliminated, he now needs to start working on external threats to his personal world. His Citadel and his two farms. Before he had only concerned himself with what was near and dear to him, but he'd overlooked that others saw him as a resource to be utilized.Or eliminated.On top of all of that, it's becoming clear that he's rapidly reaching the end of his task. A task he doesn't truly know or understand, but one that he apparently agreed to when he still had all his memories. A task assigned to him by a merciless voice that clearly thinks little of him.Family troubles are starting to look like a sweet memory and dream compared to what's on the horizon for him.His path could very well lead to the complete collapse of Lamals. At least, if he has anything to say about it.This time around, however, even his axe may not be up to the job and he'll have to resort to more drastic measures. After all, any problem can be solved with the right application of force.Even a road to hell paved with good intentions.Right?Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Read at your own risk.This story is an Adult Fantasy novel.

For thousands of years Christians have prayed to the God of Creation to: "USE THEM IN A MIGHTY WAY." Dereck Becker is one of those Christians and the young pilot has learned a valuable lesson today: Be careful what you volunteer for. Dereck and his wife Nicole along with 278 other believers, have just been drafted into God's army. The group has awakened onboard a starship that after being sent through an artificially created wormhole is now 80 lightyears from Earth. The alien reactor that was used for the transition is out of fuel so going back is not an option. God only knows why this remnant of the human race was chosen for this journey. For now survival is their top priority. They are approaching what they think is an uninhabited planet. And not only that, they've discovered Nicole is expecting. This unborn child will grow up to carry the fate of two societies on her fragile shoulders. www.amazon.com/author/jwluff
