ORN

Three humans and an extraordinary alien creature in a quest across the face of a counter-earth in turmoil:

Cal is a wise and courageous old man whose courage overcomes his wisdom in a deadly encounter with a towering and majestic monster.

Veg is a strong and sensitive man whose total loyalty to the exploration team is fearfully tested in the wilds of the killer planet.

Aquilon is a beautiful young woman, an artist and adventurer, who forms a strange and haunting friendship with a creature who cannot speak.

Orn is a great, powerful, lethal bird - a bird with a subtle and fascinating alien intelligence and a surprising and unique reason for living.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
