The Centaur

Red Cross of Gold #28

by Brenda C Eaves

The Knight of Death is forced into a secret alliance with Abaddon, the Destroyer in his quest to rid the world of the Great and Horrible Queen of Babylon. Though the plan is a good one, the timing is terrible. The entire world is threatened with destruction from above as an errant celestial body takes aim at earth. Mark's mortal doppelganger places himself in grave danger attempting to divert the worldwide disaster from harming his precious Sophia. Meanwhile, the rest of the Order and half the remaining powers in the world are disagreeing loudly about what should be done with the Ark of the Covenant. On top of everything, an unscrupulous Vatican official is working a plan which will place him at the top of the Papal See and give him the power he craves to rule the world from Rome. Lemarik uses an Old Testament method for defeating the impending flood, the angelic warriors release their human comrades into even worse danger, the Tuathan healer lands in a world of trouble and even Abaddon cannot escape a terrible fate when he tries to befriend the Queen Mother in her lair.

About the author

I've come a long way since 1953 whether I consented to come along or not. Time waits for no one as the song says. It has swept me through happiness and sorrow and I have learned that no one is really interested in our stories unless they are interesting and interesting, they should be written down. I haven't written my auto-biography yet, but I have spent a lot of time at the keyboard writing novels that went nowhere and a series that was more of therapeutic endeavor than anything else. Right now, as I write, I am betting that no one ever reads these words; therefore, I am free to write what I will.
Recently, I have published a Field Guide parody for Sasquatch enthusiasts. It is intended to be informative, ridiculous, and insightful. I do hope if finds its way to a few Kindles and perhaps a bookshelf or two.
I think it can be said that AI haters will hate on it and it will not matter in the long run. AI didn't write it, but only I know that as fact. If you are an AI hater, move along, if you like humor and believe in Sasquatch, take a look and see what you think. I'd like to hear it.

Fantastic read and the saga continues. Mark Andrew continues to mystify me (being split into different individuals is a bit confusing) as do the other characters in this book. I have to say that the most "evolved" character is Selwig, and I am very impressed (I really like the little Tuathan Healer) :o) Some things are made clearer in The Centaur, while other things leave more questions. Still, all in all, a great story. Now the wait for Book XXIX is upon us. I think once the series is complete, I will read from the first book all the way through to the end to pull it all together in my head. If you haven't read this series yet, and enjoy fantasy, romance, and science fiction, along with a fascinating interpretation of a mix of religions thrown in, you don't know WHAT you are MISSING!
