Praise for The Elorian Conscript: "This novel has a nail-biting, white-knuckle plot. Fiction thrives on conflict, and this book has conflict in spades. Danger jumps out over and over. This is a plot full of switcheroos. Whom do we trust? Whom are we fighting for? This is a high-concept novel about standing up for our ideals. The Elorian Conscript is a highly entertaining and thought-provoking read." - John M. Daniel: Editor,Writer,Consultant - www.danielpublishing.com "A true page-turner! With The Elorian Conscript, Rob has crafted an imaginative sci-fi/fantasy tale with plenty of action, adventure, intrigue, and even some interspecies romance and interstellar war to boot. The engaging story and compelling characters drew me in, and at the end of the book, I found myself wanting to jump right into the sequel!" - John David Kudrick: Editor, Writer, Consultant www.johndavidkudrick.com Disgruntled assistant plant manager and ex-Army Ranger, Dustin Atropos, is a man of conscience who often feels like he's surrounded by soulless zombies. Living on modern-day planet Earth, it's no wonder Dustin can't seem to find his place in the world. It's no wonder he feels like somewhere along the line he missed out on his true destiny.As it turns out, Dustin didn't miss his destiny. It just took it's sweet damn time finding him. While Dustin is on a fishing trip to sort out his life (and catch all the cutthroat trout he can eat) his destiny picks him up, along with his dog and his truck, and moves him to a new square on life's chess board; four million light years away, in a different galaxy. Thus begins the saga of Dustin Atropos as he fights to stay alive, overcome the devious schemes of his adversaries, win back the love of his wife, and, along the way, save his home planet ... a place he sometimes loves to hate ... a place he, in the past, has had to escape from with his retreats to the mountains ... and a place that, deep down inside, he cherishes with every fiber of his being. Along the way some questions get asked. Some of them receive answers. Some can only be answered in the future. Where are we (humans) headed? What constitutes ethical behavior? Can an Eagle Scout and member of the Order of the Arrow, save the Earth, and possibly the universe? Will Linda Atropos ever get her husband back? What happened to Dustin and Linda's pet German Sheperd, Took? And what the hell is a Nornak? The Elorian Conscript is the first book of a planned trilogy. The sequel is in progress and stands at 60,000 words to date.

Death Sails the Seas. The lost kingdom of Orr lies beneath the ocean waves, an entire civilization swallowed by an ancient cataclysm. For centuries, it has lain dormant in the depths, its ancient secrets lost. Until now. The Elder Dragon Zhaitan has risen. In its wake, the drowned kingdom of Orr is reborn—and another is destroyed. The city of Lion's Arch, for generations a cornerstone of civilization in Tyria, is brutally swept beneath the waves, leaving nothing but ruins. Among the survivors is Cobiah Marriner, a human sailor shipwrecked by the tsunami and stranded at sea. When he is rescued by a ferocious charr, Cobiah knows that he's been plunged into a world forever changed. Now, Zhaitan's undead servants dominate the sea, destroying port after port and slaughtering anything in their path. In the midst of ruin, Cobiah vows to see Lion's Arch rebuilt. Amid the storm of the dragon's rising, Cobiah must become a hero to his crew and an admiral to the pirate fleet, and face the ghosts of his past. Only then will he master the Sea of Sorrows and crush the armada of Orr.

The Future is Alive "Who needs chrome, pal? Meat is where it's at now. Mother Nature always did it best -- she just needed a little help. Get down to the black clinic, old-timer, and you can be 15 again. That is, if you still want to be human at all." It's the technology of the posthuman age: biotech! Upgrade your old body with steroids and smart drugs, transplants, and viral nano . . . or just get a new one. Maybe you don't think being human is so great? Then improve on nature with eugenics and gene-fixing. Or just go parahuman: if you love cats, become one! The technology's changing fast, but you'll have lots of time to get used to it -- death is only a temporary inconvenience with cryonics and immortality drugs. And who needs silicon and steel? Vatbrain biocomputers are where it's really at! But it's not just about the future. GURPS Bio-Tech includes a full range of 19th, 20th, and 21st-century medical equipment, from early vaccines to surgical robots, along with game stats for the world's most deadly diseases. GURPS Bio-Tech also includes a complete set of character templates for biotech professions, rules for biotech magic, and two original campaign settings: an alternate Earth ruled by a clone of Alexander the Great, and a living starship on its way to colonize an alien world! Say goodbye to your old body. Have you upgraded your genetics this year? This is the second edition of GURPS Bio-Tech. It has been revised to the GURPS Fourth Edition rules and expanded to cover medicine, drugs, magic, and new technologies. Some entries were introduced in GURPS Space, GURPS Robots, and the Transhuman Space series.

Behold the power of the mind! GURPS Psionic Powers takes the freeform options of GURPS Powers and turns them into ready-to-use packages of psychic strangeness. Players can use the abilities as presented, confident that they are built from and entirely compatible with the rest of the GURPS Fourth Edition character-creation system. Even better, game masters can use the entire system in a campaign: GURPS Psionic Powers distills the complexity of hundreds of possibilities into individual powers and power groups. This book does all the work, describing each power in levels, making it easy to represent stronger psychic gifts. In addition, the new rules and suggestions allow the entire system to work together to simulate a wide variety of psychic ability. Whether the powers are used as individual parts or as a cohesive whole, this supplement is the one-stop shop for mental mastery. With GURPS Psionic Powers, the mind is an open book! Description: 88-page B&W softcover.

There Will Be War! Whether you're trying to stop the Dark Lord's invading army, lead a Ranger company against the Axis in WWII, or command your own crack mercenary regiment in a far-flung star empire, you're likely to get into battles that are far too big to resolve with ordinary GURPS combat. GURPS Mass Combat is the answer! It presents a powerful abstract system that lets you resolve land, sea, and air battles at any tech level. Features include: Rules for logistics, movement, reconnaissance, and many other things that matter to a military force even when no enemy is in sight. Integral treatment of air superiority, amphibious assaults, airborne troops, sieges, and everything else that's important when the enemy is in sight. Round-by-round resolution that puts the commander in control, letting him choose his strategies and instantly see the results of his skill and cunning. Equal attention to the aftermath of battle: pursuit, casualties, looting, recovering losses, and more. Everything is fast and easy to use in play, thanks to extensive examples, quick-reference tables, and ready-to-go stats for the strength, weaponry, and mobility of numerous unit types. It's all generic, too, covering realistic, fantastic, and superscience troops at every tech level, and providing guidelines for customizing their quality, special training, and equipment. And it never loses sight of the fact that GURPS is a roleplaying game - every hero gets a chance to shine, and the rules emphasize what the PCs do and what happens to them. GURPS Mass Combat requires only the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition.
