The Terminarch Plot

The Terminarch Plot – The human race has dwindled to less than 100 souls, the dying remnant of a once tyrannical empire that conquered the Five Rim worlds only to be overthrown by their alien slaves. Over 100 years later, Guillermo March, born on an alien planet in a small human enclave, awakes from a coma after a botched drug sting takes his arm. As the fog of unconsciousness melts away he is told by his alien security force partner that he is the last human in existence. He is unable to mourn this news because he is immediately thrust into the mystery and intrigue surrounding the bombing that wiped out the remaining humans. The Terminarch Plot is a science fiction mystery novel rife with non-stop action, surprises at the end of each chapter, and a reluctant hero who becomes the sad legacy of the human race. Little does he know that grand schemes and machinations are at work, schemes that will bring about the end of the fragile hegemony formed by the native species of the Five Rim worlds.

Since the first human could carve pictographs on a wall we were drawing monsters, things from the dark that we didn’t understand or that were phantom shades in the corner of our eye. Some of the monsters in this collection are complete fabrications, things that haunt my imagination only, but others are things my Dad told me about on a fishing trip when I was a young boy. He swore it was real. “The Headless White Horse” is a compilation of short stories, some of them published in magazines like “Literary Juice”, a rogues gallery of science fiction and horror for the reader who feels they’ve read it all. If you are looking for something new and different to read, then this is your new book. Also in this volume: Two never before seen chapters from the Five Rims universe of “The Terminarch Plot” and “The Terminarch War” and the first chapter of the third volume: “The Shibboleth Code”!
