Billy Ray Vincent and crew about a year after the events on the planet Paradise chronicled in Ghosts of Orion. While there are some references made to the things that took place in that book, and a few to things in the T'aafhal Inheritance trilogy as well, TQD can be treated as a stand alone story. GoO established the main characters for this serise and as such it would be useful to read before TQD, but not essential. Of course, you should read all of my books starting with Parker's Folly for deeper understanding of the whole T'aafhal universe. As for websites, you can find descriptions of all my books and those of other Resilient Earth Press authors at http://theresilientearth.com/?q=resil... additionally you can find more frequent postings on my facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Ta...

Starflak in press

After a hectic year that included my retirement from my industry job and teaching at both Hendrix College and UCA, I am pleased to announce that the next novel in the T'aafhal Legacy series is written and undergoing final editing. The projected publication date is May 1. Watch for more information including details on a book give-a-way in the near future.

“Science is marvellous, it never rests and never accepts any simple answer at face value.”
Doug L. Hoffman

“Science is marvellous, it never rests and never accepts any simple answer at face value.”
Doug L. Hoffman

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
H.L. Mencken, Prejudices First Series

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

“Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.”
H.L. Mencken, Prejudices: Second series

“Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out, even to the edge of doom.”
William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets
