Savage Survival is a coming of age story like no others and Lyda Brightner is a character you won't forget. When eleven year old Lyda is thrown into the midst of millions of undisciplined humans, with no parents or guardian to protect her as she grows up, she has only her own bravery and her belief in the innate goodness of humans to sustain her. For six years, Lyda must endue the most ghastly and brutal environments imaginable, put there by invulnerable aliens for reasons of their own. After her first horrible experience in a barren desert, she vows that come what may, she will live, even while millions die, for she is determined to find what is behind such hideous treatment by the aliens.

White Odyssey

    

SF from Double Dragon Publishing.

September 2007!

In the future, whites have become a minority and are treated as second-class citizens by the colored majority. Whites are discriminated against, relegated to shantytowns and allowed to do only menial labor under segregation laws that are beginning to amount to little more than slavery. As conditions grow worse, white 'volunteers' are worked to death in mine pits and the tar sands, where conditions are so brutal that serving as test subjects on alien planets begins to sound better than anything on earth, no matter what the danger.

The Original Sex Gates

SF from Double Dragon Publishing.

August 2007!
This is "The Sex Gates" novel as originally written by Darrell Bain alone. It has a widely divergent, completely different ending, and it contains one more major character and several more supporting ones. In this original version, all questions are answered and all issues resolved in this one book. It is being published now in response to all the fan mail and interest the trilogy generated-and continues to generate. "The Sex Gates" has already become a science fiction cult classic and this book should be a significant addition to the sex gates universe.

SF from Twilight Times Books.

2008!

An empty spaceship arrives on earth and lands in the back pasture of an ordinary couple. When they enter the empty ship they are placed in sole, irrevocable control. They have to captain the ship on a journey to an unknown destination, crewed with scientists and technicians form all over the world. They wind up in a completely unexpected battle against a machine intelligence.

[Savage Survival] "...has it all-a fast and furious plot, powerful characters and a message as frightening as it is empowering."
Kate Douglas, author of Wolf Tales.

[The Focus Factor] "In this near future world money is tight, medical costs are skyrocketing, gas prices are still climbing, the government is broke and corruption is everywhere... Bain and Mills have written an impressive novel of the not too distant future that will make people think about the state of American politics and how it can be changed to create a better place for us all. Many of the ideas are not new but they are very reasonable and workable. This is another of those books I've read lately that should be required reading for everyone of voting age. Kudos to all for a job well done."
Reviewed by Barry R. Hunter for Baryon.

[The Melanin Apocalypse] "...isn't horror, but it is frightening in the respect that the scenarios the author describes could very well happen in the near future. A book that certainly makes you think. Excellent read."
Annette Gisby, author of Shadows of the Rose.
