Prophet and the Creature from Eternity

Prophet of Confree #4

by Marshall S. Thomas

Marching Down the Magic Road In the wake of an apocalyptic alien attack on Quaba, the young prophets of ConFree struggle to rebuild their shattered nation. Charges of desertion and treason are the least of their worries. Delta Research is no more; ConFree now faces an endless war with Dark Haven. An embittered Prophet is alone, assigned to a new regiment, pledged to victory or death against all-powerful enemies. He is soon lost in the titanic struggle. Ordered home from the battlefield, Prophet is reassigned to Galactic Information. As dark dreams intrude, allied Biogens call for help from ConFree. The threat is a shape-shifter from the edge of the galaxy is poised to destroy mankind. The creature's siren song may result in self-extinction for human civilization unless it is stopped. Prophet and his comrade Arie respond, but the situation is more complex than imagined. Prophet finds himself blood pledged to the Biogens, in the grip of merciless demons, marching down a magic road, following the footsteps of the Gods with faith and love and courage. Fear no evil, Bees says, for you are already in the land of death – and you are the light in the dark.

About the author

My name is Marshall S. Thomas and I am the author of the six-part Soldier of the Legion science fiction series, set in the far future, and also a second series, Prophet of ConFree. I recently completed writing the sixth book in the second series which will be published in a few months.

I love writing and write for the sheer joy of it. I was turned on to science fiction in the late '50s as a teenager and wanted to write SF from that moment. I didn't have the skills to do it until my early 40s when I began the first series. I had almost completed the series when it dawned on me that I had put so much work into it that I really should try to have it published. An astonishing number of rejection letters followed but as I improved my writing and did plenty of rewriting I finally found my first publisher in Timberwolf Press. I've had other publishers since then, but at present I am independently publishing my books.

I studied at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, the University of New Mexico and the University of Miami (Government/International Affairs and History) and then spent 35 years in East Asia. I am currently retired and live in Willliamburg, VA with my wife Kim Lien. We have two children. The first is an arts graduate of Radford University and the second is a biochemistry grad of Virginia Tech now working in NYC.

My first publisher, Timberwolf, also produced a spectacular unabridged, full-cast audio of the first book. The full audio can be found on my newly updated website: https://soldierofthelegion.com.

I now have written a new SF series, Prophet of ConFree. All six books of the Soldier series and the first five books of the Prophet series are available on my website as well as online at the usual places. Please check out my website; it's awesome.

Happy reading! MST.

After the attach on Quaba, the members of Delta Research have been arrested on charges of desertion and treason. As the actions of Delta Research members are reviewed it is determined that after what they accomplished before and during the attack, they were not guilty and slowly the members of Delta Research are released but Delta Research is no more. As the members are scattered to different places, ConFree takes the fight to the Darks.

But worse things may have been found. The Biogens find a creature locked away in a ship, unable to escapte. They ship on a never ending trip heading to deep space. This creature has the capacity to destroy civilizations or help them. During an attach on the ship by Dark forces, they are forced to release the creature to escape, only know they will have to find out what the consequences are from the creatures release.
