The Anti-Matter Chronicles Series by P.G. Thomas

Four high school students shook their heads in disbelief; Lauren and Logan, fraternal twins, Eric the football captain, and John the intellectual prodigy, as they looked up to the three suns blazing high in the sky, and wondered, what had happened. As they scanned the horizons they could see nothing but deserted grasslands, and had no idea of where they were, but they were not on Earth... moreFour high school students shook their heads in disbelief; Lauren and Logan, fraternal twins, Eric the football captain, and John the intellectual prodigy, as they looked up to the three suns blazing high in the sky, and wondered, what had happened. As they scanned the horizons they could see nothing but deserted grasslands, and had no idea of where they were, but they were not on Earth. They remembered seeing the mountains from their bus windows, and the accident, as they now stared at that evidence in the field of tall grass. And lying unconscious, Zack and Ryan. What started off as a normal school day, quickly changed into one the oddest day of their young lives. Then they see one lone traveller heading their way, and he offers his assistance to take their injured friends to the ‘healers.’ With no other choice, they accept, but their oddest day, quickly becomes even more peculiar. Their trip leads to a truly unusual forest, then to elves, and then to dwarves. And it is at the dwarven Ironhouse Mine, that the adventure truly begins. Here some of the mysteries are revealed, but others are also presented. And one of those mysteries is a six foot long sword, made by four foot tall dwarfs, but it lacks a name, and champion. In book one of the Anti-Matter Chronicles, Tranquil Fury, you will find a fresh, fast paced adventure, with unique characters, odd circumstances, unusual events, with an exceptional and original story line. Unlike most epic novels, where one character has a foreboding sense of the underlying currents, in the Anti-Matter Chronicles, the unknown has already embraced the resident characters as they wait to welcome the six new cast members. And it is with their insight, that the truth is realized, and the real threats discovered. less

In Book one, Tranquil Fury, Lauren reluctantly accepted the role of Earth Daughter, and led the remaining elf and dwarf characters, as well as her friends, south in search of Mother’s children.If they did not leave, the increasing presence of the black-clad army would trap them in the Ironhouse Mine, and all would be lost. Their only guidance, from the now absent Earth Mother, but none wished to talk of the prophecies she delivered... moreIn Book one, Tranquil Fury, Lauren reluctantly accepted the role of Earth Daughter, and led the remaining elf and dwarf characters, as well as her friends, south in search of Mother’s children.If they did not leave, the increasing presence of the black-clad army would trap them in the Ironhouse Mine, and all would be lost. Their only guidance, from the now absent Earth Mother, but none wished to talk of the prophecies she delivered. With the help of her brother Logan, and the strange creature IT, they threaded their way through the enemy controlled lands, and black-clad forces, which were larger than they anticipated. As they attempted to use stealth, to find passage to the free lands (if there were any left), their worst nightmare was realized; capture.Now Lauren, her elf Earth Guard, the dwarven Ironhouse Brothers, and Ryan, who mysteriously appeared when the threats had disappeared, are stranded in the enemy occupied territory. And the hunt is on for Zack, John, Eric the Champion of Tranquil Fury, Mirtza, and her brother Logan. And should they find them in time, the black-clad army presence is increasing, and the whereabouts of Mother’s children that fled the plague hoax, is still a mystery. less

In Book two, Sky Elf, Lauren and her party, rescued their friends from certain death, and continued their journey south through the occupied enemy territory. Eventually, making their way through a mountain pass, and finding themselves in the free lands of the west, where Mother’s children had fled. At first, they thought they were safe, but that feeling did not last... moreIn Book two, Sky Elf, Lauren and her party, rescued their friends from certain death, and continued their journey south through the occupied enemy territory. Eventually, making their way through a mountain pass, and finding themselves in the free lands of the west, where Mother’s children had fled. At first, they thought they were safe, but that feeling did not last.In what was once was considered a small quiet frontier town, Lauren was proclaimed an Earth Mother, and her resulting actions chased out traitors and spies. The Earth Scouts were formed, and set off on their mission to acquire allies for the impending war, and in a stroke of luck, they managed to convince sky elves to provide aerial surveillance.What they did not expect, was threats so close. An alliance with the dwarves already in place, elves answering their call, and a threat to show all. What could go wrong? Finally Lauren and her friends thought they might just win the war in the ‘crazy world’ that they had been thrust into, but like John said, “Ask me about chaos theory… about that which cannot happen, but which does.”Here is the stunning conclusion to the Anti-Matter Chronicles. For over a year, our characters have survived unimaginable hardships and setbacks in their quest to restore humanity to the great lands of Calicon. Lauren, the reluctant Earth Mother; Logan, blessed with the ability to control the weather and fire, yet is challenged by simple math problems; Eric, looming all-star quarterback, possessed by the entity that lives inside the massive sword; Ryan, the mystery; Zack, the misfit; and John. With the town books now balanced, only one question remains, ‘that which cannot happen.’ Can he make it happen? And both Gayne and Mirtza have a vested interest in that answer.All have been challenged and controlled by a world they do not completely understand. Can they turn it all around, and make it out alive? less
