Alex Faraway

Only a week after a fierce battle in the abandoned scrapyard against the wicked horde of large insect-bots known as The Others, culminating in their destruction when the huge Mars Biosphere spaceship blasted its way out of the scrapyard, Alex Faraway waits impatiently for his long-missing father's promised return from that planet. But Dart, Alex's large, robotic Guardian Dragonfly, is unsure if the sinister creatures from his own past are gone for good. The robot flies regular patrols over the 100 acre scrapyard until one morning he abruptly disappears. Alex goes in search of his adventurous friend, unaware that the plot to invade Mars and destroy the last remaining Martians before they awaken from their hibernation Time Tombs is far from finished. The battle from the previous week has only added weight to the might of The Others and has triggered the arrival in the scrapyard of an ever more powerful robot - one with brutish motivation to complete the creation of a deadly machine from ten thousand years ago. And now, not only is Mars in their sites, but Earth is as well. Something new, powerful, and frightening is also happening to Alex Faraway with each passing day and each time he uses the strange Martian-made device called a Luss. His nightly dreams of an ancient people long forgotten are growing more physical in nature as the Glass Tunnels blur the immutable barrier between past and present, dreams and reality. The Ghosts and the Nethlins are coming. And all the while, the unknown rogue world, the shadowy Planet X, draws ever nearer to its ten-thousand-year close-encounter with Mars. What mysteries from the distant past does that strange glittering world hold?

“Alex FARAWAY And The Last Martian”, is the Book 1 of a science-fiction trilogy about an inventive boy named Alex Faraway and the adventures he encounters with large, robotic "insect-bots" (both good and evil) and a strange, orphaned girl who he finds living in an abandoned scrapyard just beyond the backyard of his rural home. The crux of the story deals with unexpected connections that Alex soon uncovers between the robots in the scrapyard, the girl, "Rainah“, and the planet Mars; but it is not with the Mars that we know of today, but with Mars when it was ten thousand years younger. And since his earliest memories, Alex has somehow known that his long-missing father is on that distant planet as well – why, he does not yet know, but he hopes to find him, somehow, someday. And how might he travel to that distant world to search for his dad? Why, in the spaceship he is building in his workshop nearby the scrapyard (with help from his own loyal robots and a fantastic engine known as the DIVE Drive) of course. But, will the wicked ones, namely The Others, lurking in the scrapyard allow him to leave? Suspend, for just a little while, all that you hold to be the usual, the normal and venture into the world of Alex Faraway; after you do, you may not wish to return.

In this third book in the Alex FARAWAY Series, it has been 4 years since Alex Faraway blasted off from Earth to be re-united with his once-missing father on Mars. Because of his past heritage with Mars, Alex has transformed into an Earthian with all the new abilities his Martian cousin possess. The orphaned Martian, Rainah Onyodee, has found a new home with Alex's mom, Elizabeth, and is finishing high school in Delta-Town. Old Elliot, the astronomer, has settled down with Rosie in her café where Elizabeth works and where he keeps a roof-top vigil each night, tracking the approach of Planet X (the mysterious Nethlin World) as it nears its ten-thousand-years encounter with Mars. But, a new and more sinister entity has joined forces with the scheming 'Others' in order to fulfill their ultimate end-game: The complete destruction of the hibernating Martians, still asleep in their Time Tombs under the sands of Mars, as well as the huge Mars Biosphere Dome which holds all the surviving life that once thrived on Mars long ago. And the Earth-sized Nethlin World is all but upon Mars, bringing with it shattering gravity-wave-induced Mars-quakes that will not only bring fresh upheaval upon that smaller planet but also cause the Great Change in its orbit which will shift Mars back to its former, closer distance around the sun. When that happens, the Martians will awaken and new life may have a chance once more. But a sinister android known as the 'Dark Man' has stolen the all-important Map of the hidden Time Tombs of Valles Marineris and now The Others are on the hunt. Catch up with Alex Faraway as he races to uncover the remaining mysteries of the ancient people of Mars and of his own father's murky passed involvement with the dark forces converging upon his new Homeworld. The exotic radiation from his symbiotic Martian-made Luss weapon is transforming Alex as well, and this time, it will change the Earthian boy into something even stranger than before.

Nothing ever seems to remain peaceful, when it comes to Alex Storm and his team. Having moved up to being a Federal Marshal over the Indiana and Illinois area, Alex left some of his people behind, including his nephew, who had been his partner for some time. Now getting a call from his first time partner, Jason Roberts, after they had completed the police academy years ago, Jason was now a corporate attorney in Camden, IL. Having been receiving threatening calls and notes slipped under his door to drop a case involving corporate embezzlements, as if he needed more turmoil in his life, Jason had already lost his son in a car accident, when the family had gone on vacation through the Smoky Mountains. There, they had lost control of their car, when a passerby saw what had happened, and tried to save Jason, his wife, their daughter, and their son, who had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease. Unable to get to the son in time, the car exploded, leaving him to die in front of his family. Sadly this was the last thing their daughter, Lori, saw just before losing her eye sight, because of it. Now, Alex is on his way to Jasons office to help in any way he could, which usually meant going into disguise, this time as a Corporate Attorney. What they didnt know, was Jasons partner, Epstein, was involved, and a man connected to him had threatened harm to Jasons family. Thus, once again, Alexs team was pulled back together to bring the hammer down on these men, but not before finding out his team had transferred from Detective rank to Federal Marshals, against his wishes. You cant keep a good team apart.
