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…

After literally stumbling into orbs appearing as bright as light bulbs in photographs he was taking at a spiritual retreat, Dr. Klaus Heinemann immediately sensed that he was onto something profound. There was no choice but to convince himself that his notion was on solid grounds. Heinemann looked at thousands of pictures he had taken earlier, and thousands more would be taken to test the hypothesis that these light circles are nothing less than emanations from Spirit beings. Dr. Míceál Ledwith had a similar experience after the orb phenomenon was first made known to him through the teachings of Ramtha. He began an intense and systematic study of orbs in all sort of situations, day and night, and in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in order to discover all he could about their nature, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for our understanding of our own place in the cosmos. To date, he has amassed a collection of well over 100,000 images. In The Orb Project, Ledwith and Heinemann present their fascinating discoveries, along with practical tips that amateur digital photographers can use to photograph orbs and properly distinguish them from "false" orbs that are really dust or water particles. They offer guidelines on deciphering the orbs' various patterns, features, and characteristics, based on their extensive research. As Dr. Ledwith points out, once you develop a keen and sustained interest in photographing spirit entities, some quite interesting things begin to happen: the brain stops censoring these images, and you can begin to see with orbs with the naked eye -- in more color and detail than is visible to even a digital camera. Ledwith and Heinemann also explore communication with orbs and what their existence means to our lives. The implications of a realization that we are "surrounded by a cloud of witnesses" are enormous and incredibly hopeful for the world at large.
