PITUS PESTON AND THE GODS OF OMAN is the fi rst book in the PEREGRINATIONS OF PITUS PESTON adventure series. PITUS PESTON AND THE GODS OF OMAN is about a dreamer of cosmic adventure who turned his dreams into reality. He was born into an unlikely time for space fl ight. When Thomas Jefferson was President the frontier was still east of Buffalo. The only way to reach this distant land was afoot or by horse. But there were other worlds whose time lines of development were not like our own. On some of these worlds the present state of Earth was in their dim past. About the time of the Mayfl ower, three travelers, exiles from the planet Oman, a world on the opposite spiral arm of Caleeron, their name for the Milky Way, crash land their craft atop a butte in what later became Monument Valley. They were unable to leave Earth and dispersed among humanity to live out their lives. The year is now 1805, and Pitus Peston, an eighteen year old farmer's son endowed with a linguistic genius, discovers an old wampum belt bearing a strange image. It stirs his soul and he believes that the image on the belt is otherworldly and he determines to uncover its secret. Through an accumulation of clues he works his way toward solving the secret of the gods of Oman.

Pitus Peston is really on the spot. Returning to Earth to save it from corstet, an alien life prolonging plant, he gets captured by the army and is in a military base in the Nevada desert being debriefed on all of his advanced technology. When they are done, what will they do with a 235 year old man who has knowledge of extraterrestrials? They seem to have only two cruel choices. Will they keep him a permanent resident in some “Area 51” type place, forever cut off from the world, or just make him part of the Nevada landscape? On the other side of the galaxy, Peston's alien friends, Calnoon and Kinar, two of three alien exiles whose ship Pitus discovered in the Arizona desert in 1811, and Orban, a renowned Oman official and scholar, wonder what is keeping Pitus from returning to them. Pitus is also in the sites of the third exile, Rohab, now a high ranking agent of the FBI, who has been trying to finish off Peston for nearly two centuries. If this weren't enough, there is also a ruthless crazy alien of the enemy planet Haldan, who wants nothing so fervently than to kill Peston, and is willing to travel across the galaxy to do it. This feeling is mutual of course, and is about to get intensified by the actions of this Haldi, and so starts the story of PITUS PESTON AND THE VENDETTA.

PITUS PESTON AND THE EYES OF HARNUK is the second episode in the PEREGRINATIONS OF PITUS PESTON. Imagine a young man who lived two hundred years ago, whose destiny seemed to be to work the small family farm along the upper Hudson but whose intellect soared far above his times and station. This young man dared to dream a blasphemous dream of travel to worlds and peoples among the stars. Now imagine that he discovered not only a means of fulfi lling his dream, but found himself in a quest to fi nd a source of knowledge rivaling that of the Almighty Himself. Pitus Peston who solved the riddle hidden in a wampum sash of the location of a derelict alien ship atop a butte in what is now Monument Valley, is journeying with his companion Calnoon Atoye Itah, a native of Oman, to this world on the opposite arm of the Milky Way. Atoye, eager to end his long exile and return home hopes to reward his friend Pitus with astounding scenes of his highly advanced civilization. When they reach their distant goal, they fi nd not the wonders of an advanced civilization but the ruins of war, but a new objective avails itself in the search for Loma's Cube, the seat of accumulated knowledge spanning the eons of the last era before the last Big Bang swallowed it up in the last Big Crunch. They are not alone in this quest. A rival from the planet Haldan, the other faction in what became known as The Thirty-Minutes War, seeks the cube for its secrets of propulsion and weaponry to make possible a new empire engulfi ng ultimately the whole galaxy.

I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.
