 Book Cover


EXTINCTION WARRIOR:

One Girl's Round-the-World Quest to Find Her Parents

and Save Endangereds


In this thrilling blend of 'Spy Kids' meets 'Zootopia' with a dash of 'Jurassic Park' intrigue, join clairvoyant 12-year-old Luki Sloan, her arctic fox Mig, and the android Tuk on a quest against the Red Dragon gang to rescue her scientist-detective parents from the clutches of the notorious animal trafficker White Wolf! Set in the year 2155, this inspiring fantasy sheds light on the perils of climate change and the extinction crisis while shining a hopeful light on a seemingly insurmountable situation. Luki's parents are scientist-detectives for World Endangered Animal Police Protection (WEAPP), and go missing while hunting White Wolf and his gang in the Bering Strait. Once Luki activates Tuk, there is only one thing to do—masquerade as traffickers to try and find them and White Wolf. They lie to Luki’s adoptive Indigenous grandparents and set off from their remote home in the Arctic to travel the world, collecting a diverse assortment of endangered animals to entice the Red Dragon leader. They eventually locate White Wolf and gain access to his superyacht where disaster strikes. Their travels take Luki, Tuk and Mig from a cyclone in Tahiti into the aftermath of a hurricane in Puerto Rico; they face an attack by an Eagle owl in Russia, a porcupine attack in the Transylvanian Alps, the stinging bites of driver ants in the Serengeti, and the possibility of pirates in the Mozambique Channel before they make their way to White Wolf's superyacht in the Bay of Bengal near Myanmar— where they confront a series of shocking discoveries. As the story unfolds, readers learn about Partula snails, Puerto Rican crested toads, cinereous vultures, African wild dogs, radiated tortoises, pangolins, tarsiers and a variety of other animals while gaining insight into indigenous Arctic culture, diverse environments and acquire a greater understanding of world geography from maps throughout the text. A story for all ages, but an excellent choice for kids ages nine to fourteen, this story weaves real science with a fantastic vision of a future world in which a 12-year-old wrestles with friendship, loneliness, fear, loss and her own strengths.

A gripping tale of survival in a world overrun by the undead.

In the world of The Dead Walk Diaries, where the dead have risen to prey on the living, survival is a relentless struggle. Against all odds, a diverse band of survivors has secured the ultimate stronghold: the Wholesale Club, a massive bulk warehouse packed with enough supplies to sustain them for years—if they ration carefully. Fortified from the ravenous horde outside and with every basic need met, they believe they've found a safe haven.

What could possibly go wrong?

Their luck is short-lived. Another group, far more organized, trained, and ruthless, has set its sights on their sanctuary—and won’t stop at anything to claim it. With nowhere else to go and survival outside the club’s walls impossible, the survivors must prepare for a battle against a powerful adversary.

There is hope. One of the survivors is just as well trained and ruthless. With skill and determination, they may stand a chance. Yet survival may come at a high cost, and the battle ahead promises to be anything but easy.

Stragglers and survivors have colonized a sunless rogue planet, Argo, on the fringe of the galaxy.  Each morph group has its own story to tell.  Genetic engineering is high science.  Saviant Daron, Garron v’Harga de v’Cera, scion of the v’Harga clan, creates his life work, genegeneered twins, Janys and Jion.   

Daron has an implant, a Class 2 A, Belle.  Belle is emissary to the Starions, a space-faring race that inhabits neutron stars.  

Starions take an interest in Janys and Jion, especially Samantha, formerly human.

The story describes the lives of Janys and Jion, ranging from the Milky Way to far galaxies in the Local Cluster.  It is the epic of humankind in the Third Diaspora.


Review

Andromeda Ascending is an answer to "Why are we here" and "What are we, anyway" framed in the far future where these are more than philosophical questions.  This is a thriller, a far future exploration with soul and meaning.  The writing is tense and poetic in places, the characters are bold and unusual.  I enjoyed it!

Unlocked: The Dawn of Unlocking Superhuman Abilities: Book One of the Thrilling E-Labs Trilogy

 Book Cover


Unlocked:

The Dawn of Unlocking Superhuman Abilities:

Book One of the Thrilling E-Labs Trilogy


A discovery that shatters the boundaries of human potential. A race against time to control it.

In the hidden depths of Switzerland’s E-Labs, Dr. Natalia Accorsi and her team have made a breakthrough that could redefine humanity—a series of mysterious "combinations" that unlock extraordinary abilities lying dormant in the human body. Telekinesis. Telepathy. Accelerated healing. Abilities that defy imagination.

But with unimaginable power comes unimaginable danger.

As word of their discovery spreads, sinister forces emerge from the shadows, determined to seize the unlocking technology and tilt the global balance of power. Natalia is thrust into a deadly game of espionage, greed, and ambition, where the price of failure is global chaos.

Caught in a storm of conspiracy and manipulation, Natalia and her team must navigate the dangerous world of unlocked potential, all while grappling with the ethical boundaries of their work. With each new combination revealed, the stakes rise higher, and the line between savior and destroyer grows dangerously thin.

In a world on the brink of destruction, unlocking humanity’s potential may be the only way to save it—or doom it forever.

"A relentless techno-thriller that explores the fine line between power and destruction, Unlocked will leave you breathless and questioning how far we should push the limits of science."

"A mind-bending thriller that explores the terrifying potential of unlocking superhuman abilities. Kraft's debut novel will keep you on the edge of your seat as humanity teeters on the brink of evolution—or extinction."

"Unlocked isn't just a sci-fi thriller—it's a chilling glimpse into a future where the boundaries between human and superhuman blur. A must-read for fans of Michael Crichton and Blake Crouch."

"Peter Kraft delivers a pulse-pounding exploration of scientific ambition gone awry. Unlocked will make you question the very limits of human potential—and the wisdom of pushing past them."

"A rollercoaster ride through the ethical minefield of human enhancement. Unlocked grabs you by the synapses and won't let go."

"In the tradition of Jurassic Park, Unlocked presents a terrifying 'what if' scenario that feels all too plausible. Kraft's debut is a masterclass in scientific speculation and heart-stopping suspense."

"Unlocked is a thrilling cautionary tale for our times, where the promise of human advancement collides with the darkest aspects of human nature. You won't be able to put it down—or stop thinking about its implications long after the final page."
