Synopsis

Preface from Justa and the Victorian Rogue: In the distant future Earth has a sister moon, the terriformed planetoid Ceres. It is a beautiful world with crystalline mountains and unique creatures specifically bioengineered to fit its ecosystem. Human science has also developed "magic" which is actually the result of the redirection and molding of energy released from dense crystals by individuals with psychokinetic abilities. Crystalline energy and magic have made it possible for the human race to travel to and populate the stars. The story before you takes place on the planetoid of Ceres long after it and Earth are separated through time and space by a cataclysm. Intelligent life on Ceres was extinguished but reborn without any knowledge of the planet's true origin. Eventually, societies sprang forth with unique religions, governments and economic systems. But this was not to mean they were not somehow influenced by the goings on of the peoples of Earth. Both Earth and Ceres, while dimensionally separate, maintain connections between them which allowed travel from one world to the other. These portals, or bridges were little known and passage through them was rare but not so rare that the cultures on either side were not influenced by the others. Most remarkable was that these portals transcended time; one might lead to Egypt in the times of the pharaohs while another might bridge Ceres with the wild gun-slinging days of Australia in the 1800's. Justa and the Victorian Rogue is a chapter in a much larger story. Justa is a young wizard, son to a warrior couple bent on avenging the death of friends of the past. In order to earn the right for such a quest they must first fulfill a dangerous mission against an outlaw gang influenced by motives and technologies of a different world. Warriors, swords and wizards face off against guns, fists and cowboys. Along the way Justa befriends the notorious Edward "Ned" Kelly and begins an adventure that may someday save not only o

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Lawrence Scariano is a physician and adventure story fan. After starting this project as an educational activity for his children he discovered that the only thing better than reading a thriller is to pen one. Justin enjoys playing fantasy games, when not involved with school work or sports. He also likes to write and many of the characters and scenes in this book are of his creation. Gabrielle, like Justin, is an excellent student and athlete. Of the three, she is the most serious and brings fresh realism to her writing. Gabby's writing has already earned her one academic scholarship.
