WHEN THE SKY FELL

^{The year is 2217, and Commander Frank Yamane is the captain of the stellar cruiser, Corona, stationed at Saturn’s moon, Titan.  Having been in the military for most of his life, he is a battle-hardened man who has experienced a series of personal tragedies, including the loss of his beloved wife, Liana.  The inability to prevent her death has left him feeling guilt-ridden, and plagued with doubts regarding his ability to lead others.  It is these same experiences, however, that have also prepared him for when humanity needs him most—when an alien race known as the Deravans attack the earth without mercy.   Knowing he cannot stop them alone, Yamane has no choice but to seek the assistance of an enemy he helped defeat in a war ten years before.  The problem is—Commander Yamane knows they have every reason not to come to Earth’s rescue.}

DUBLIN

^{Say the name of Dublin, and for many, it conjures up an image of weary Irish pioneers who, after traveling thousands of miles along the dusty byways of the California Trail, stood on the crest of a hill overlooking a valley filled with promise and a hope for the future.  This was the place they would call home.  Inspired by memories of rolling green hills and wide-open countryside of their beloved Ireland, they chose a name that would help maintain their connection to a land that now only lived in their memories.  While it is tempting to embrace this romantic notion of Dublin’s beginning as the way it really happened, as is often the case, the truth is far richer and more diverse than first realized.}
