Book Description
BEWARE OF SPOILERS AHEAD! This novella is designed to be read after FALL SILVER ARTEMIS and before IN THE SHADOW OF THE SUNDERED KING! The end of THE OLD WORLD SAGA begins beneath STRANGE LIGHTS in an alien sky... From Australian author Joel Preston comes a cosmic adventure that takes his series into realms beyond the universe... THE OLD WORLD SAGA embraces the Cthulhu mythos in this tale about the things beyond both gods and angels that linger in the dark. It first happened in THE WENDIGO INCIDENT, when US NAVY SEAL Patrick Leeson (aka Neanderthal) read from a mysterious black book to distract the monstrous wendigo and save the life of Joshua Dare. What he summoned that day was just a glimpse of the horrors that lie waiting beyond the known universe. The room shook as eyes and tentacles appeared, before vanishing almost as quickly. Then, in FALL SILVER ARTEMIS, professor Malcolm Selleck used a similar black book to summon an Eldritch abomination in the games of Skrymir. It was that same book that a civilian, Randall Dare, had been studying before his disappearance... Right at the end of that story, Randall Dare reappeared unexpectedly in the destruction of Sydney Harbour, before the demonic Cthulhu. And he had some friends with him. STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE DARK WORLD is the story of how Randall got there. Now, in this novella, we follow Randall Dare as he opens a wormhole to a planet called the Dark World. Thrust into this story of magic and supernatural terrors by sheer blood association, Randall becomes stuck outside the universe, looking for a way back in. An alien army is waking up, and it looks like they have their sights set on Planet Earth. Luckily, with Randall is another lost soul, Patrick Leeson. Together, they will encounter one of humanities most revered religious figures, also stranded in the Dark World. With Jesus of Nazareth on their side, and a particularly fearsome T-Rex, the stage is set for the coming war against the Star Spawn and their Great Old One leader. - THE BLURB - Randall Dare put his mathematical skills to the test by solving a complex alien equation in a mysterious black book. Rather unexpectedly, the young physics prodigy opened a portal to a dimension outside the physical universe. Stuck in a realm called the Dark World, Randall must navigate ancient ruins, alien armies and monsters to get back home. He learns that his Australian colleagues are on their way to a sunken city where a horrible cosmic god lies sleeping. Because of him, they might be on the verge of waking it up. With the help of the citizens of the Dark World, including a sixty-five million year old dinosaur, the race is on for Randall to work out how to cross dimensions and deliver valuable information for the coming fight. Only, he isn’t the only human trapped out there. US Navy SEAL Patrick Leeson, aka Neanderthal, has arrived too. Along with humanity’s most famous religious figure, Randall has to figure out how to get them all back to Earth. And time is ticking…

Book Description
First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the dinosaur apocalypse. How did it all begin? That depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather—which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there, but increasing in occurrence until fully three quarters of the population had vanished. Either way, there is one thing on which everyone agrees—it didn’t take long for the prehistoric flora and fauna to start showing up (often appearing right where someone was standing, in which case the two were fused, spliced, amalgamated). It didn’t take long for the great Time-displacement called the Flashback—which was brief but had aftershocks, like an earthquake—to change the face of the earth. Nor for the stories, some long and others short, some from before the maelstrom (and resulting societal collapse) and others after, to be recorded. Welcome to the world of the Flashback, a world in which man’s cities have become overgrown jungles and extinct animals wander the ruins. You can survive here, if you're lucky, and if you're not in the wrong place at the wrong time--which is everywhere, all the time. But what you'll never do is remain the same, for this is a world whose very purpose is to challenge you, for better or for worse. In short, it is a world where anything can and will happen. So take a deep dive into these loosely connected tales of the Dinosaur Apocalypse (each of which can be read individually or as a part of the greater saga): tales of wonder and terror, death and survival, blood and beauty. Do it today, before the apocalypse comes. From The Wine Dark Earth: What is it? I sign, gripping the M14’s handguard (which has become slick with sweat); locking eyes with Beth. Will thinks he heard something; something in one of the shops. Something big—heavy. He says to check our flanks. I just stare at her, bewildered. But I don’t want to check my flank, I think. Because if I do, I might see something; something I won’t be able to unsee. Something I’ll have to react to. And I’m not ready for that. But then, of course, I do—check my flank, that is. Then I look into the dusty, broken window of Swanberg’s and, seeing only handcrafts and crystals and strings of fine beads, begin to exhale—deeply; wondering what it was I was so afraid of (for it is only the dogs, I am certain; the stringy, pitiable creatures we saw in the street; the slim, spare scavengers whom, having now inherited the earth, have simply followed us up from the pier). Then I just stare at the crystals; the prisms—the lovely, pure, many-faceted gems—which manage to glimmer even though there is so very little light. At which, strangely, something seems almost to blink—to shutter and reopen. At which something does blink; just as surely as I am standing there. Something blue; ovoid, which glitters like a gem. Something which is encompassed by dark, tapered brow ridges and cruelly-curved hornlets; and bright-yellow markings—like a witch-doctor or a cannibal. Something I glimpse only briefly, fleetingly, in semi-profile—before it flits back into darkness and is gone.
