Book Description
When Gar Pike—the Rogue Wizard—and his traveling companion Alea land their ship on a planet harboring a lost colony to do some minor repairs to the ship's computer, they decided to take some time for shore leave, and explore. It's not long before they meet one of the indigenous life forms of the planet: Fairies. As Gar and Alea explore more of the world and meet more of the inhabitants, they quickly come to realize that every clan is feuding with their neighboring clans. Though everyone secretly wants peace, nobody will listen to those with the courage to preach it, those who have been sent into exile for wanting everyone to get along. Posing as traders and healers, Gar and Alea team up with the Fairies, the Wee Folk, the Druid priests, and two particularly courageous exiles to reintroduce the abandoned Druidic religious tradition to the people and, hopefully, reintroduce peace to all the clans.

HOW DO YOU STOP AND ENDLESS CYCLE OF VIOLENCE? When Gar Pike - the Rogue Wizard - and his traveling companion Alea land their ship on a planet harboring a lost colony to do some minor repairs to the ship's computer, they decided to take some time for shore leave, and explore. It's not long before they meet one of the indigenous life forms of the planet: Fairies. As Gar and Alea explore more of the world and meet more of the inhabitants, they quickly come to realize that every clan is feuding with their neighboring clans. Though everyone secretly wants peace, nobody will listen to those with the courage to preach it, those who have been sent into exile for wanting everyone to get along. Posing as traders and healers, Gar and Alea team up with the Fairies, the Wee Folk, the Druid priests, and two particularly courageous exiles to reintroduce the abandoned Druidic religious tradition to the people and, hopefully, reintroduce peace to all the clans. Under the nom de guerre of Gar Pike, renegade psychic wizard Magnus D'Armand travels the stars fighting injustice and oppression, like his father, Rod Gallowglass, the Warlock in Spite of Himself. But unlike his famous father, Magnus refuses to play by the rules, sowing the seeds of freedom and revolution throughout the galaxy. When Gar and Alea land their ship on a planet for computer system maintenance, they aren't expecting to run into Fairies, Wee Folk, Druid priests, and feuding clans transplanted from Scotland and then forgotten. Can they, along with two courageous exiles and the psychic powers of the Fairies, and Wee Folk, bring peace and order to this world?

LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD Gregory Gallowglass is the eligible bachelor on the planet of Gramarye. The youngest son of the High Warlock Rod Gallowglass and the witch Gwendolyn, his powers of intellect and magic are without equal. But he’s best known for his heart—one as pure as it is impervious to love. To the femme fatale assassin Finister, it’s the ultimate challenge: first to conquer, then drive a knife through. Using her best charms both sorcerous and seductive, Finister finds a chink in his emotional armor and captures his love. Gregory drops his defenses—and she strikes. But then something goes wrong. Her attack fails to kill him… but Gregory still loves her. Now what? Can she still manage to slay him, even after losing the element of surprise? With neither side willing to surrender, the deadly dance continues. But can Gregory really win his assassin’s heart through simple kindness, compassion, and patience? One thing is certain: having finally found love, Gregory is willing to risk everything—or die trying.

Book Description
A FAMILY LOST IN A WORLD OF MAGIC AND MONSTERS A scientist from Earth at heart, Rod Gallowglass has come to terms with the “magic” of the medieval lost colony planet of Gramarye, and is just beginning to understand his own powers. But when his enemies lure his family through a portal into what appears to be an alternate universe, he must follow them into a world where magic really does seem to work and where the laws of the universe seem to have been rewritten. Reluctantly drawn into a dynastic conflict, hunted by monsters both faery and human, can Rod and his wife Gwen keep their children free and safe, let alone find a way back to their home world of Gramarye? Bringing his renowned blend of science fiction and fantasy back to the world of Gramarye, Christopher Stasheff once again redefines what is real and what is “magic.”

Book Description
A MYSTERIOUS INVASION FROM BEYOND SPACE AND TIME Surprise raids are ravaging the kingdom of Gramarye. Longships filled with Vikings wielding the magical, paralyzing Evil Eye plunder, kill, and burn whole villages, then disappear back into the dark seas. But where did this enemy, and their mysterious god-king Kobold, even come from? For Gramarye exists not in the past, but the far future: a lost colony planet that’s reverted to a simple medieval lifestyle… complete with fearing and persecuting the witches and warlocks among them, people born with natural psionic abilities (and the only known espers in the universe). This island kingdom represents the only sentient life on the planet… or so they thought, before the brutal marauders appeared. Rod Gallowglass is an agent of an interplanetary government, stationed on the recently rediscovered Gramarye to protect its precious psionic community, and gradually guide the kingdom toward integration and membership in the galactic union. A modern man of science and technology, the locals mistake him for a powerful warlock (despite his claims he isn’t). Now King Tuan and his subjects look to the “High Warlock” to help them repel the invaders. Can the High Warlock not only drive the barbarians back into the sea, but deduce where they came from, why they’re attacking, and how to end their raids forever? If you’re intrigued by this blend of swords, sorcery, and science, you’ll enjoy reading King Kobold Revived.
