Refuge: The Arrival: Book 1

---

Millions of Earth humans are transported to a world of magic and are in the fight for their lives against an evil Ellala Elf Emperor who sees them as soul energy to extend his life as a lich. But the forces of NATO have brought their weapons along, and it's tanks against wizards, attack helicopters against dragons, nuclear weapons against elder Gods.

The technology of Earth will only work for a short period of time on the new world, due to the laws of Refuge finally overwhelming the beliefs of the newcomers. So it's use it or lose it, and the humans, under the command of United States Major General Zachary Taylor, use it with a vengeance.

And the humans have brought along allies unlike an seen on Refuge in recent memory. Immortals of great physical power and an immunity to magic. Ismael Levine, the Wandering Jew of legend, born prior to Christ.

Will they be enough to tilt the balance? Or will the humans have traded the nightmare of a nuclear ravaged world for one in which dark Gods prey on their souls? Allies will be gathered, and new enemies made, as technology fights magic in an effort to gain time and space for the forging of a new kingdom.

During a nuclear war in Central Europe millions of humans are transported to a world of fantasy, where the archetypes of our myths are real. Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, and Dragons, as well as creatures of the night and Demons from the Hells roam the world. The evil ruler of an Elfin Empire sees the humans as life energy to fuel his bid for immortality. But the humans brought some of their own weapons with them, devices beyond the wildest dreams of the native peoples. It's use it or lose it, and the human General is determined to use it to the best advantage.

Now the modern tech is gone, but the Earth humans have other knowledge, of old tech that doesn't require internal combustion engines or explosives. Windmills, sailing vessels, and most important of all, the secrets and tactics of ancient armies.

And the former mental patients who become great users of magic on.

Will it be enough to defeat people who see them as cattle? Ort will humanity become the legend of the lost, who appeared on a world of salvation only to die? The forces of are on the march, on the offensive, for the only way to win this war is to attack, and keep the pressure on the enemy. To send a party of his mightiest warriors, priests, mages and assassins to seek the legendary Crown of the Lost Gods, an artifact which bestows the power to control the minds of millions to its wearer.

But the Goddess Arathonia has dispatched the former Wehrmacht Colonel Kurt von Mannerheim, her Immortal champion on the planet, along with a party of mighty companions, to prevent the Emperor from getting his hands on the artifact. If the Emperor gets his hands on the Crown, the war is lost, despite the military victories. Can the man who once faced the Russian hordes for an evil leader, now face the forces of the North in service to good?

Or will Refuge enter a new dark age, one from which it will never awake? Kurt von Mannerheim had never wanted to become ruler of the Empire that became. But the Gods of Refuge had such, and humans had come the world in their numbers in fulfillment of that prophecy.

And so he had become first King, and then Emperor, welding the disparate peoples together into one Empire. It can be found in the UK here. It was the series I thought would take off, but Exodus: Empires at War, released after Refuge, was the one that took that honor. Still, Refuge, both books 1 and 2, sold about 5, copies each, a little more for 1, a little less for 2.

I really enjoyed writing the series, which is now up to four books plus a sort of spinoff sort of, because it was written before any of the Arrival books. I am currently working on book 5 of the main series, and plan to do at least one more after that, just so my readers will get closure for the series.

The dimensional gates open to another world, a world of magic, where our dreams of fantasy are real. The evil Emperor of the Ellala sees the millions of transplanted humans as soul energy to forward his scheme for immortality. He orders his armies to capture the newcomers, to place them in concentration camps where they can be harvested. But the Germans, French, Polish and other peoples or Earth have other ideas.

With the help of their American allies and the modern weapons of war they will fight back against the magic of the evil elves, while gathering their own allies in the fight for survival. For they are seen by the native peoples as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. And they have brought immortals with them to this world, men and women of great power on Earth, who become true demigods on the new world.

So it is tank against mage, attack helicopter against dragon, and nuclear warheads against impregnable fortress, as the humans must use their technology while they still have it, and gain a foothold on a world beyond their understanding.
