THEY LURK AMONG US LOKIANS 2 COMING SOON
They Lurk Among Us is the sequel to Beyond the End of the World. Both titles, and a third, were at one point published by a small press. I’ve complained about that press to my satisfaction, and I’m now proud to say that with the return of rights, I will be re-releasing Lokians 2, They Lurk Among Us pretty soon.
I don’t know how soon, though, but here’s the prologue to tithe you over. Yes, it’s tithe over, not tie over. A tithe is a tax consisting of ten percent of the community’s income. When the tax collector collects the tithe, the kingdom is tithed over until the next tax collection.
Why am I telling you? I have my reasons…but back to the prologue.
They Lurk Among Us, Lokians 2
The flow of time is not a constant. The limitations of man are not concrete. What can one do once the doors behind reality are opened?
One man is blessed with a gift, burdened by a responsibility; somewhere in the reaches of space-time, he travels, seeking only to continue doing what he knows in his heart is right. Once a respected Naval Captain, now working for The Bureau, Riley O’Hara continues searching for answers.
Eight months prior, in July of 2111, Earth’s Navy surveyed a new planet, one meeting all requirements for colonization. Eon was a celestial body located in the Gemini system, a system of twin suns. For all intents and purposes, it was new Earth.
During the survey mission to Eon’s surface, Captain O’Hara and his special operations team discovered alien beacons. Soon after, Admiral Lay of Earth Navy made first contact with a race of aliens called Thewls. A detailed exchange of information transpired.
The Thewls convened on Eon with the Navy’s spec ops team. During the meet and greet, Humans came to learn that a second race of aliens called Lokians were on the prowl. This devastating force ravaged the galaxy as it destroyed civilizations to harvest technology.
Ambassador Weh of the Thewls proposed a plan. A unified front between men and Thewls was the only solution. Careful deliberations occurred behind closed doors as Admiral Lay slowly sequestered himself from the special operations team’s endeavor. Suddenly, the brash and young Captain O’Hara was in charge of the Humans’ most delicate mission in military history.
He led his team aboard a Thewlian vessel, joining their admiral, Yew, in a search throughout the galaxy for a weapon to wield against the so-called impending threat, the Lokians. Upon its discovery, the weapon was kept secret from nearly everyone on Horizon colony, including Admiral Lay’s second in command, Rear Admiral Shaw. At the end of the ordeal, the Lokian threat was curbed, but the captain did not receive a hero’s welcome. He woke up, injured from the final battle, in a hospital tent. The suns on Eon caressed his face as he looked over his commanding officer. Admiral Lay was concerned. He relayed to O’Hara what had transpired. Only recently conscious, and recovering from his wounds, the young man was shocked to learn the President of the North American Union had decided to shut down Horizon colony.
Unbeknownst to anyone, O’Hara boarded a craft with two agents from The Bureau, Adams and Franklin, whom served under the captain during the Lokian assault. Their whereabouts are currently unknown to both the Navy and President Montrose.
Thanks for reading the prologue. Obviously the Lokians series is scifi. What’s cool about this particular scifi series is the presentation. In the first Lokians book, a few aliens and a little bit of technology were introduced, but for the most part it was just a scifi, military adventure novel.
They Lurk Among Us, however, takes on a new depth. The 2nd Lokians book in the series is almost a sort of spy thriller scifi cross over. There’s a lot of intrigue, intel changing hands, all kinds of people–government officials–doing all kinds of crazy things in order to placate the aliens…but which aliens?
There’s new aliens in They Lurk Among Us. I mean, what’s the point of reading a scifi series without more aliens?
Apart from Humans, Lokians, and Thewls–the races introduced in the first Lokians book–there are Grays, Yvlekesh, and alien hybrids.
Right now, obviously, the book is written. I mean, it was released at one point, but I was never pleased with the end result, and there was nothing to be done while it was published by the small press, but since I got the rights back, and I know how to write now, I’m doing like a fifth round of editing, trying to make sure that everything is just the way I like it, just the way I think my audience will like it.
There’s the intrigue, great dialogue, a few jokes, cool action scenes, all the aliens, and it’s pretty fast paced, too. Thanks again for reading the prologue. At some point in the near future, I’ll release the first and second chapters, too.

If you're still no sure about the series, try reading these blurbs.
Beyond the End of the World blurb-
Intelligent races travel through wormholes to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Thewls inform Humans of a looming threat. Lokians are a ravenous race of space bugs. They harvest technology from advanced civilizations and integrate with it to mass produce living ships, dangerous vanguards, and formidable legions.
Captain O’Hara of Phoenix Crew travels with Thewls to retrieve an ancient vessel from a mysterious race simply known as travelers. Can a single craft be the key to saving the galaxy? Why do Thewls believe the travelers once visited Earth? Does O’Hara and Phoenix Crew have what it takes to obliterate the space bugs?
They Lurk Among Us blurb-

Now, The Bureau has a new mission for Riley O’Hara, and it involves the Gray Agenda…but what, exactly, is the agenda of mindless, alien drones?
War and Glory blurb-
Gray motherships have penetrated Earth’s atmosphere. Intel suggests the aliens are searching for NOAHH, a Non-Organic Alien Human Hybrid, yet the Gray Agenda insinuates the aliens wish to subdue Humans; why, then, are they destroying Earth and evac ships?
Riley believes only the traveler can reveal the answer, but knowledge is never what one expects.
In the face of a new Lokian threat, two factions of Grays, an elusive Reptilian, and hybrids lurking within Earth’s own government, Phoenix Crew must gather old allies, forge new allegiances, and exterminate numerous threats all at once.
Is such a thing possible? Is there , really, any glory in war? Or is this the end of Earth?
