In a distant corner of the cosmos, on an advanced planet known as Newel, a hero is created using super science. This hero is named Gar-A and his destiny is driven by a freak occurrence with a black hole. He finds himself seemingly stranded on a distant planet called Earth, a strange place that exists in a parallel dimension away from his home world. Newelians look like humans, but this is where the similarities end. Made of an incredibly dense molecular structure, they are gifted with incredible strength and durability. Their superior mental capacities and half-millennium life span make them astonishingly powerful. On Earth, Gar-A becomes known as Major Alpha, the premier costumed hero of his age. He follows his heart, and soon, he and his human wife, Kate, build a life and family together. Their son, Mik, lives a life most fanboys can only dream of in their four-color fantasies. Mik, considered a power-normal, dreams of glory as he strives to make the most of his small portion of Newelian abilities. A tragic first outing opens young Miks eyes to a series of revelations about his fathers legacy, as his dream of being a superhero becomes a twisted nightmare. If he is to realize his fate, Mik must find the courage to escape the dark shadow of his father. As he makes new allies and enemies, he finds himself forced to pursue his own path toward a greater destiny.

Both boys knelt beside the hole and examined the thing they were trying to dig out. It looked like a huge grey egg about fourteen inches long and certainly a couple feet around its fattest part. What do you think it is? Bickie tapped it with the axe handle. The boys took the stone to their room to investigate it further, not knowing what they had found. I showed Red-Hog the stone you boys dug up and he says it is a thunder-egg. He lifted it and he says it is so heavy it must have a big core of agate inside, said Mother. Scattered throughout the California deserts, hundreds of these stones can be found. According to Indian legend, the noise of thunder is made by a giant bird. They call it the Thunder-bird. Though no birds like this has ever been spotted, when the Indians found these stones in the desert, they assumed they were eggs of this great bird. Bickie and the Thunder Egg is the story of a young boy and his family as they experience trials and close calls with fires, physical injuries, and theft. Through it all they learn to trust God and his plan for their lives, never knowing the answer to many of their problems is tied up with the odd rock they all know as the Thunder-Egg.
