The war for survival demanded new alliances... ...and risks our heroes were not ready for. Would they rise to face them...or fold? Captain Ripley Willis Lee had faced danger before, but this new mission was even more threatening. Deep behind enemy lines, he and Primord Captain Dharek were forced to work together to unravel Zodark supply routes, sabotage infrastructure, and pave the way for the Republic's liberation of Rass. One wrong move-and the enemy wouldn't hesitate to crush them. The deeper they went, the more disturbing truths they uncovered. The Zodark war machine was evolving... and something darker was moving in the shadows. And even if Lee survived the threat from these sinister Zodarks, he had a political tightrope to walk with Captain Dharek. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Blake "Coop" Cooper traded the skies for the dirt. After a series of setbacks, Coop knew he needed a reset. He sought a second chance by volunteering as a forward air controller to assist the Republic Army. This new challenge had him guiding airstrikes under fire, shouldering new responsibility, and fighting to regain the edge he once had. It was a second chance-but one that might cost him everything. In a war where every victory comes with a price, the next chapter would test the Republic's loyalty, courage, and resolve like never before. If you love high-octane combat, alien alliances, and heroes forced to adapt or die-Battle of Shadows will keep you turning the pages.

John's near-death record is Encouraged by the Light .KIRKUS REVIEW Debut author Edwards describes a near-death experience following a traffic accident, asserting the Bible confirms what he saw on the other side....for a man who uses so many Scripture citations to buttress his case, he's not a stereotypical Gospel witness. For example, he writes that he's disappointed that some Christian conservatives refute NDEs on the grounds that non-Christians have reported them as well. Edwards' gently reasoned response is that non-Christians may get to see heaven, but it doesn't mean they're able to stay there...he even provides an answer for nonbelievers who say they saw nothing but blackness during clinical death. Overall, his arguments provide inspirational and intellectual manna for religious and secular readers, although the faithful will likely be more acclimated to the frequent Bible verses.Evangelical testimony of life after death told in a calm, thoughtful and rational voice. I enjoyed a Kindle copy. I think you did a good job of both being objective and Scriptural. -Michael, Bible translator and linguistIt is a good read from the very beginning. -Carolyn, John's friendI thank John for sharing his experience. It has surely made an impact in my life. -Katrina, administrator of a very popular websiteJohn plunges you into the chaotic challenges occurring at the scene of the car accident. You immediately identify with the confusion, the critical head injury, and the resulting traumatic brain injury he sustained. Dr. Jim, the emergency room doctor, can't get hold of either of John's parents. He needs permission to operate on John's face, provide medicine, and run tests. However, the EMTs solve that problem. They incorrectly told the other parents which hospital they took their kid to. (They also left one of the kids at the scene of the accident.) The owners of the car John was in arrive and provide the needed permission. John is patched up. When he is conscious he is delirious, otherwise he is comatose. His mom finally gets word. One would think all the drama would now subside, however it doesn't. Instead John suddenly finds himself in a normal conscious state, even though he is outside and above his own, physical body. Although he is blind from two, huge, swollen, black eyes, John witnesses the conversation between his mother and Doctor Jim. He sees and hears them even though there is a really thick concrete wall between him and them. Not long after that, yet another out-of-body experience occurs. This time he sees all the flowers his and his parents' friends sent. They are beautiful and later are the subject of a conversation between him and Mom. On another occasion, while still in and out of a comma and delirium, John raises his arm; presents his hand; and rises up ever so slightly out of his body--so as to see each time his dad says, "John, you have a visitor. Can you take their hand and tell me who it is?" He identifies every visitor correctly. Since his father has no way to explain such a phenomenon, he says, "I guess what they say is true, 'When a person goes blind, their other senses improve to compensate.' " John also experienced an extended trip to another, wonderful place... Hummm... Maybe you should just
