Book Description
The most important star in the universe is changing. Something has altered its twenty-two year cycle, and we can no longer take the sun for granted. An eighty-year-old scientist has made it his job to warn the world. Yet, no one will listen to the old coot – except two eleven-year-old youngsters. They call him Grandpa and would follow him anywhere, even to the depths of the galaxy. That is if they could. Problem? There is no way to get there, unless the old man can figure out the Big Bang theory. Within that mystery is a powerful secret, one that can break the code to deep space exploration. Mr. Steven Lucas is convinced our star is headed for a supernova even though its mass is considered too small for that event to occur. He is determined to find the answer or blow up the world trying. But he cannot accomplish this feat alone. Being a brilliant scientist, he solicits the technology savvy of the two youngsters, Parker and Joey, who are computer geniuses. His own son, Steve, is skeptical; and Steve’s fiancée, Sandy, is cautious. However, the sly old fox is able to pull the family together in his research whether they like it or not. When a solar flair is sighted, it is observed as a sporadic occurrence. However, when the flairs become frequent and closer, it is determined the earth is under attack. It is all coming to pass just like Mr. Lucas warned. By now the old man knows where to go, but there is no way to get there.

Book Description
An ancient pact was once broken by the theft of Summer's Prince. Now, the Red King has found him. To live, to love, they seek the dark side of the sun... A thousand years ago, Milesian invaders gained ownership of Ireland from Summer's Queen through trickery. Since that day, the green isle's native sidhe have been imprisoned in their hidden kingdom, bound by their ancient pact with the Milesians. Now, the treaty has been violated. The Milesians have stolen Bran Fionnan, the son of Summer's Queen. Trapped in the human world with no way of returning home, Bran is held under a death threat that forces him to work for his captors. He must forge weapons the Milesian huntresses can use to slay their new foe: the Red King. The Red King is Macsen Cadoc, a vampire—a hunter who cannot stand being hunted. He seeks vengeance for the Milesian attacks in spilled blood—Milesian blood, and the blood of the sidhe traitor who has forged their weapons. When the one he finds is a victim, not a traitor, everything changes. Bran Fionnan is the Milesian's most valuable prize, but from the moment Macsen sees him, he wants him...and the Red King is not accustomed to being denied—by anyone. What begins with desire may end in extraordinary ways, but first there are questions that must be answered. What is love? Can it help Bran overcome lost ties and a lifetime's worth of anger? Can it help the Red King gain more than the satisfaction of his lusts?
