About this eBook

Rift in the Races (Book 2 of The Galactic Mage series) follows the continuing story of powerful Prosperion sorcerer Altin Meade and feisty Earth-fleet officer Orli Pewter in the fight against the mysterious alien Hostiles.

The Earth fleet is now moving to take advantage of its recent victory. With better combat strategies and Prosperion wizards only a blink away, the time has come to finish the job they set out to do: destroying the Hostiles. But complications arise.

Altin's discovery of space-traveling humans from distant Earth has threatened ancient and foundational beliefs for the people of his world. The shockwaves from this revelation begin to unravel a long-standing but precarious balance of power. With her eyes to the sky and all its galactic possibilities, Prosperion's War Queen soon finds her realm on the brink of chaos.

Together, Altin and Orli must once again find a way to mediate the forces of pride, frustration and fear between their two peoples, or both planets will be destroyed. What ensues is an action-packed, laser-blasting magic ride through space, war, romance and conspiracy--a thrilling tale of alliances and alien hostility. 

Unfortunately, sometimes "alien hostility" is a matter of perspective.

About the author

John Daulton is the author of the Amazon bestselling science fiction and fantasy series The Galactic Mage Series. He was born and raised on a cattle ranch, where he learned to love the land and the creatures upon it. He also developed a love of character, as the years brought a treasure of every variety of people and personalities one might imagine into his life. His great joy is to amuse and entertain, and he writes for the love of the journey. His stories are meant to take readers elsewhere, and he makes no apologies for the escapism he he writes into every book.

He studied English at Sacramento State University and earned both bachelor's and master's degrees, the latter in creative writing. After a quarter century in sales and marketing, he now writes full time and intends to do so until he is too old and crotchety to be bothered with it such things.
