World of Taroo: The Sabors

A rescue mission, an assassination attempt and the discovery of new incredible powers that lay within the magical stones.

The knight is about to step out when a horrible scream suddenly fills the cave room and the soldiers look around. The scream continues and it sounds like someone is in pain. The knight orders them to stand in line and be ready for combat. They don’t have to wait for long until they see something coming. A light is getting closer and so is the scream. The scream is so chilling that for the first time even the knight feels his hairs stand up on the neck. A woman, wearing almost nothing, with white shiny hair is walking towards them. The knight shouts to her to stop. Instead, she brings up her arms and the soldiers immediately bring up their shields. A strong wind suddenly flows within the room and seconds later a beam of ice streams out from her hands.

This is a story brought together by the complex mind of the writer who dreams and tries to offer others a glimpse of the world within him.

Zeeglit's Quest

Zeeglit is a young moogle. And what, you may ask, is a moogle? Well, moogles live on the three layers of the clouds. Zeeglit and his family live on the Nimbostratus, the lowest of these layers, and our story begins with a prophecy of travel and danger.

A short while later our hero sets out on a quest travelling between the cloud layers via moonbeams, ice surfing with new friends, taking a thrilling ride on the jet stream and meeting many strange and weird creatures – some friendly, some not!

However, his real troubles begin when he meets the notorious thordites who also live in the cloud lands. Zeeglit suddenly finds himself leading a daring rescue mission for moogles kidnapped by the enemy.

‘Now!’ yelled Zeeglit as the sun reached its peak and beams of light bounced off each jewelled face and reflected in the deep crystal water below. Coils of rope snaked their way from above into the cavern and as if one, the moogles below stood and advanced towards them.

Zenith

Tim Ross isn’t part of the ‘cool’ crowd. He can’t play sport, he’s awkward with girls and he has few friends on Insta and Facebook. He hates change and isn’t adventurous. So why did he agree to join his elder sister, Danni, on an end-of-school yacht trip off Queensland?

While out at sea, Tim and Danni witness a mystery spacecraft crash into a nearby island. Reluctantly, they investigate.

As they do, United Nations peace-keeping soldiers are deployed to respond. Leading the top-secret unit is former Australian soldier, Brett ‘Scorpion’ Tanner. His unit includes neo-punk chick ‘Jinx’ – a feisty Japanese rookie – and former British soldier Leonard ‘Snowman’ Frost – a violent man of war just as deadly as the blood-crazed aliens the unit is destined to encounter.

Zenith Island is an exclusive Whitsunday resort with five-star facilities and a fantastic fun park. It’s here where Tim and Danni, and a group of desperate others, must band together to fight for their lives.

As battles for survival rage, certain things become clear. The aliens aren’t the only threat; some people are monsters. And desperate situations can change us all.
