The apocalypse is here... Hidden planets, preexisting advanced civilizations, coexisting hominid species, and new revelations have all led to the end of days. Whether by twist of fate or by the hands of the Originators, the Jovian planet is about to ignite into a sun. In its wake, Master Architect Janus of Mars will need to warn both Earth and Terra about the profound, cataclysmic effects of such an impossible astronomical anomaly within the Sol System. For wealthy German industrialist and philanthropist Christine Reich and her all-female assault group, Epsilon Team Six, it will mean forming unexpected alliances to save friends and wards. On Terra, former MIT doctoral candidate Andrea Perez will make the discovery of a lifetime-one that will alter the course of her adopted home and prove that there is more to "Hades" than the myth. Apocalypse picks up from where the award-winning Intelligent Design: Revelations leaves off, with more answers that are far darker than the questions. In keeping with the short, classic science fiction genre of alien worlds, spaceships, exploding planets, and larger-than-life heroes, heroines, and aliens, Intelligent Design II: Apocalypse picks up a few short years after the events laid out in the well-received, award-winning Intelligent Design: Revelations. Former MIT doctoral candidate Andrea Perez is now part of the engineer-warrior caste system in Terran society. Her main purpose is to keep the planetary holographic emitters online to keep Terra, which is on the opposite side of the sun, hidden from Earth. But a more pressing disaster is about to unfold-Jupiter is about to ignite into a sun. And yet, deep in Terra's crust, a hidden experiment is about to be discovered. On the desolate red planet Mars, Master Architect Janus and his master computer can calculate no explanation for such an impossible astronomical event. The last time they saw something similar was when Mars's civilization was at its zenith and the Gemini dwarf planets, Alpha and Beta, inexplicably collided in the orbits between Mars and Jupiter. On Earth, wealthy German industrialist and philanthropist Christine Reich, now fully adjusted from her former life as executive director of Readiness and Disaster Logistics in the FEMA Office of Response and Recovery, needs to shift gears to a new mission. She must save humanity, or at least a piece of it. With her all-female assault group, Epsilon Team Six, she is reunited with her longtime friend Anthony Perez to create an ark on Earth in the hopes of creating a new world after the apocalypse. But even as disaster is imminent for Earth and Terra, there is the remote chance of a new beginning for Mars and Venus. In the wake of the apocalypse, worlds may fall, old civilizations may revive, new worlds may form, and the mythical place known as Hades may come alive.

Intelligent Design: Revelations is a science fiction novella that looks at the origins of our existence as a species, and our place in the universe. The story begins on the planet Mars during its apex where the balance between technology and nature is achieved. All is well until the Gemini planetoids between Mars and Jupiter fall out of their orbits and are set for a collision course. Master Architect Janus and his peers set forth a plan to not only preserve as much of their culture as possible, but the majority set out to find their Creator. Over six million years later on planet Earth, Lieutenant Colonel David Farrell is baffled by a conspiracy that not only cuts through the US's security as if it were non-existent, but also defies the laws of nature and the rules of science. FEMA Director Roberta Josephine Riesman's period of mourning her soul mate's sudden death is cut short by an assignment that requires her to spy on an old friend. Thrust in the middle of a mystery that involves the greatest natural disaster encountered by humans, Riesman discovers that the very core of human existence is about to be challenged. Earth is not prepared. Reluctantly, she is confronted with a choice - walk away to live in France with the memories of her paramour, or take the challenge to make a difference. "...You know Ms. Perez, we live in a world of dualities. On one hand, we have technology that can pick up chemical compositions of planets outside our solar system, and we can now grow and transplant human organs. There are space probes in deep, interstellar space, and we can tell when how many times our planet wobbles on its axis," he said, still looking at his hands. "At the same time, there's a cult in Ireland who believe there are aliens living among us..."

What if Jason Bourne remembered everything right from the very start? What would happen to his therapist and nurse that helped him through his post-trauma amnesia? Would the government that trained him want him and his friends to live now? What would he do to protect himself and the people who helped him from his ruthlessly efficient, former boss? When Alexander Burns, former counter-terrorist specialist of a powerful, clandestine spec-ops agency, released a destructive computer virus known as "Albatross" to millions, he infiltrated the security of three federal agencies, immobilized all levels of law enforcement, and brought the entire Northeast region to a standstill. What his civilian team of reluctant operatives did took years of meticulous planning, six hours to execute, and then they evaporated into thin air. Before Burns could steal terabytes of classified operations and mission recordings that would shock the world, he made sure key people were out of the way. Former Marine Warrant Officer Diane Welch was an obstacle. Her knowledge of events in Pakistan's Swat Valley, and her contact with Burns's handlers and FBI director would have compromised mission. Burns was lucky on May 2 - Welch was not around that fateful day. But his luck has run out. She is now part of the team that is on the hunt to bring him and his domestic terrorists to justice and keep classified secrets from becoming public. Welch, Lt. Andersen and Director Helms know Burns has these damning files but they need to find out why he risked so much to get them. To find out, the FBI approaches Burns to retrieve those documents and negotiate for him to come in from the cold. The plan might have worked except Thomas "Steel" Webber blows it up with clear objectives: kill Burns and his team. As new alliances form and dangerous enemies emerge, Burns has to decide whether he is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his crew. Award winning Raven: Birds of Flight continues where Albatross left off with its fast-paced, character-driven action adventure.

Intelligent Design: Revelations begins sixty seven million years ago revealing new worlds, great technologies and superior beings' efforts to save several species of hominids. Come forward to present days, there are only a trusted few humans that know Earth is not the only planet with sapient life in our solar system. The truth of our origins and greater threats to come will test human resolve. And it will all fall onto two women. Intelligent Design II: Apocalypse provides more answers that are far darker than the questions. Hidden planets, preexisting advanced civilizations, coexisting hominid species, and new revelations have all led to the end of days. Whether by twist of fate or by design, the Jovian planet is about to ignite into a sun. The civilizations of Mars, Earth and Terra are now at risk from the cataclysmic effects of an impossible astronomical anomaly.
