About Book One
The day started out as just another day at a junior high in Winterset, Iowa. But that normal day ended with an apocalyptic invasion by the alien Reficulians.
Eleven-year-old Derrick, the main character and narrator, survived the first day through a fluke in alien technology. Not knowing if it was just Winterset that was attacked or the whole world, he eventually finds others. One by one the young survivors come together in a fight for survival.
They soon meet up with another alien who is a Keltian and is on their side. Unable to defeat the Reficulians on their own, Earth’s survivors recruit a small band of kids and give each of them special abilities, not knowing if this will be enough to help them save the planet.
The young people face challenges, encounter more survivors, and through trial and error learn to use their abilities to fight the Reficulians.
Will their power be enough to conquer the alien species that has already obliterated other worlds? Can these kids outwit and outmaneuver a superior race to save planet Earth?
About Book Two
Book Two of the Keltian Trilogy continues with the five survivors who met in Book One. They have gained extraordinary abilities bestowed on them by a friendly Keltian alien. They soon encounter unexpected challenges with a new member to their group, or an adult who wants to assume control. They discover this comes with mixed blessings, adding additional threats while improving their chance of survival.
During one of their excursions, they encounter a half human/half alien hybrid, which leads to the discovery of an unknown scientific military bunker. As the hybrid and survivors create an alliance, the question becomes: “Is this hybrid the answer to wiping out the Reficulians once and for all?”
What powers and abilities does the hybrid have that will improve their odds against the Reficulians? What transformation takes place in the hybrid cementing his relationship with the survivors?
A few of many praises for Keltian’s Warriors: The End’s Beginning – Book One of the Keltian Trilogy:
“…A book of classical science fiction apocalyptic survival. For all ages, fast paced with young children as the protagonists…” Jared Cline, Pastor, Iowa
“I’m not a huge fan of science fiction, but this book has me hooked! I can’t wait to see what unfolds next.” Megwen Loveless, Senior Lecturer and Director of Basic Language Program in Portuguese in the Spanish and Portuguese, Dept. at Tulane University
“I am using this book with my sixth grade student and she absolutely loves it. Anxious for Book 2!” Danni Conner, Teacher for the Deaf, Washington
“I read Book One without putting it down, it’s definitely a page turner! Now my 3 boys (12, 14, and 17) are all fighting over who gets to read it next!” Annissa Costello, Teacher, Texas
About Book Three
In Book Three of the Keltian Trilogy, the group realizes that they are somehow being detected and must leave the security of the mine. With the ship completely repaired, they seek a new sanctuary where the Reficulians have difficulties tolerating the temperature extremes.
Derrick’s dreams with Keltians become more frequent as the group struggles to understand how they alone can drive the Reficulians from Earth. Their abilities have enabled them to survivors, yet the “fight,” the “war” on the Reficulians, has hardly begun. They quickly realize that in other parts of the world, complete eradication of cities has begun.
It’s only a matter of time before the Reficulians discover where they are hiding.
