Spaceport Atlantis is the Sixth book in the Birth of the Gods Series. Starship Orion Four travels almost 50 years to reach Mars, the planet of origin of the Mayan people now living on Hyksos in Constellation Draco. After reaching the intended destination, starship Commander Armant Zeus sees little value in any archeological or anthropological research of this uninhabitable planet. He wants to colonize Earth, instead. One of his pilots, Captain Pallas Athena, warns him that, if he doesn't allow this to happen, there might be a mutiny on the starship. Most people aboard support the mission to discover why their ancestors left Mars thousands of years ago. When two crew members die during this mission, Commander Zeus is accused of murder. That event begins an erosion of the command structure aboard the starship. Captain Athena investigates and clears the commander, but eventually he is arrested for murdering his wife. Months later, they are contacting humanoids on planet Earth. However, a volcanic eruption at their base on a Caribbean island destroys their shuttle. Now, they can't colonize this planet. In the end, with Captain Pallas Athena as their new commander, the starship officers see no other option than to journey back to Constellation Draco.

EMMANUEL IS THE SEVENTH BOOK IN THE BIRTH OF THE GODS SERIES. Starship Commander Seth Okanata has a spotless record with the Mayan Space Administration. However this hush-hush journey to Earth in the Orion Belt of the galaxy turns out to be the worst of his career. They do find rich deposits of copper on planet Earth, which they plan to mine in the near future. They also save the life of a religious prophet from Nazareth in Israel. On the negative side, they are boarded by a pirate and even though they neutralize him, they are tailed by the pirate starship until they reach Jupiter. Worse than that, there's a murder onboard. Rocket Mechanic Masal Djoser dies during an EVA under very suspicious circumstances. Security Chief Alto Bucolus has three suspects, Masal Djoser's wife, Elaina, Hector Copan, the man who was with Masal during the EVA, and none other than the commander himself, Seth Okanata. What makes this worse is that the most likely suspect is Masal's wife, Elaina Djoser, and, unfortunately, Seth is falling in love with her. In the end, Security Chief Alto Bucolus saves the day by doing what is morally right.
