RED LEOPARD

Book Two of the Chronicles of Kassouk

from Desert Breeze Publishing

 

Left in charge of the Kassouk fortress in the king's absence, what is Terek to do when a Goddian spacecraft lands in his medieval backyard?  Galya, the striking woman leading the galactic expedition is bent on finding a hyper-conductor crystal, and the futile defiance of a tribal chief nicknamed Red Leopard, like the infernal feline that follows him everywhere, isn't going to stop her.

Terek must defend Human freedom, but an old prophecy surfaces, carrying a new threat. When political intrigue, greed, murder and betrayal tip the scales, whom can Galya trust? Her fellow Goddians, the Mutants bred to serve her race? Or her primitive Human enemy?

Can Madison solve the mystery killings and insure the safety of the town? Let alone her own safety? For each step closer to the truth and to Kaletaka, unleashes an unspeakable evil, and no one is safe…
