Live. Run. The last message from Central Command was more a plea than an order, and running is exactly what the last remnants of humanity did to escape The Death as Earth was destroyed. Among the survivors is James Ursidae, a fearsome warrior whose despair now outweighs his expectations for the future. After months of drifting through intergalactic space, Ursidae and what humanity remains have found a spark of hope on the planet Lintalla and in the company of its native Illani. Unfortunately, starting anew comes at a price, and even in a strange system violence and war are a constant. A new enemy, the Tarin’Tal, hold the system’s inhabitants in a vice-like grip that continues to tighten. Can Ursidae and the Earthlings burn bright yet again and save their new world from the destruction they’d hoped to leave behind?

This paperback version of Liquid Diet is no longer in print. I doubt if any copies remain. Used copies of the original version published by Berkley in 1992 are still drifting about and the novel is available as a revised and improved Kindle published by the author, William Tedford.

Cyber is changing. Reality and the virtual world are blurring as the Dream Box evolves. The line between humanity and artificial intelligence is growing ever thinner. The Ravers, led by Reese, are holed up on Phobos. They rely heavily upon their advanced A.I. for their survival. Their position is precarious, but stable, for now. But with a mole within their ranks and their A.I. developing a consciousness and feelings while still being used as a mere tool by most of the group, their bunker and their lives are put in grave danger. But Reese has other things on his mind, including the fate of his love, Brea, trapped in a comatose state in order to prevent her and their unborn child from succumbing to a deadly illness. Their only hope of stopping the illness from claiming her life, as well as countless others, is to discover the source and find a cure. The key lies in an ancient and sacred gift passed down and entrusted to Reese.

Betrayal at Phobos

Ariah's magical training has been interrupted. Forced to rely on a mentor, Dirva, who is not who he claims to be, and a teacher who is foreign and powerful, Ariah is drawn into a culture wholly different from the elven one that raised him. As his friendship with Dirva's brother blossoms into a surprising romance, and he slowly learns how to control the dangerous magic in his blood, life finally appears to be coming together for Ariah—but love and security are cut short by a tyrannical military empire bent on expanding its borders. War, betrayal, passion, and confusion follow Ariah as his perilous journey leads him beyond the walls of the Empire, and into unfamiliar territory within himself. Along the way, he’ll discover just how much he’s willing to give up to find his place in the world, and he’ll learn what it means to sacrifice himself for freedom—and for love.
