The Settlement : Book One: New Eden

by Warren Cook

Grayson Alexander survived the impossible war in a world that science thought could not exist. Returning home, he just wanted to rebuild his relationship with his grown children, Kate now a scientist and James a soldier. Then the unified global governments invited him to return to the world of magic and wonder as a guide and advisor. He would have refused, except that his children were already on the way, their curiosity defying their father's warnings. And so, Grayson returned, hoping to protect his children and repair that fatherly bond with the children he barely knew anymore, as well as hoping to forget the horrors of battling the Daya'Layn and their superior forces. He was simply to advise those who had never been to the wonderous world or were perhaps unfamiliar with the challenges they might face erecting a research camp behind enemy lines. The settlers would need him, even if they didn't like him, even if he hated them.His return had not gone unnoticed by some of the locals, either, including the gods, the devils, and the doomed love he left behind. While Grayson tries to focus on his family, the past he tried to lock away tries to resurface against his will, while a god he had wronged seeks retribution.
