Do you like science fiction books, shows, and movies, but long for a story that includes a thoughtful consideration of a Christian worldview? If so, read the first book in the Alliance Chronicles, "Tellerand Encounter." The story has plenty of action, romance, travels to worlds far away (and one quite near), with engaging characters who confront fears and dangers while wrestling with their personal relationships with God. In the year 2410, after the devastation of the Creon-Borela wars, many systems in our galaxy put aside their differences to form the Galactic Alliance. Now, thirty-four years later, the old tension between Creon and Borela is rising, a result of Borelan raids on the Creon system. There is fear in the Alliance that the flames of war may soon be rekindled. Armena Sandal, Councilor from Creon, confronts Chockdal Du, Councilor from Borela, unleashing a firestorm in the Alliance Council. In another part of the galaxy, Sterling Newman, officer in the Alliance Intelligence Service, is in the firefight of his life. Outgunned, he finds an uncharted tellerand, a folding of the fabric of space upon itself. He takes it to escape his enemy, not knowing where it will send him. The tellerand opens in an unfamiliar place, where he meets Someone who could change his life. And in a dark corner of the galaxy, Galen leads resistance fighters against the evil Emperor Pragsmon, who rules Kirill with an iron hand and who is bent on conquering the galaxy. Three separate lives, each in a struggle for survival, but all guided by Someone unseen, yet ever-present.
