WIRESHIP MANIFESTATION Michael had visions from a very early age...Contacts that made no sense to him at the time, but now it all becomes clear...they were real! And man is not alone! FRACTAL UNIVERSE Chess has made it this far with his universe hopping talent through cleverness and a good amount of luck.

The Big One strikes, and now he'll be lucky if he survives the tsunami which follows the earthquake! MUTANT WORLD It happened. Nuclear war. But not between the US and China or Russia. Between the North and the South States! The desolation left has created monsters and outlaws. That's what the Texas Rangers exist to patrol. And that's not even the hardest part of their job. That is about to come!
