About this listen
Jake McDonald’s life has hit rock bottom. He’s lost his job, and his wife and two children have lost their faith in him. It seems that everything that could go wrong has happened, and he now has nowhere to turn. In a final effort to salvage his financial problems, Jake turned from banking to lobster fishing off Santa Barbara Island. While scuba diving, he discovers an underwater cave that extends deep beneath the island’s shoreline. As he swims into the cave looking for fish and lobster, he finds an alien artifact. This discovery drastically transforms his life and changes the history of planet Earth in a way no one could have ever imagined.
Discovery is the first book in the Ship series that draws suppositions from the future science of NASA, and asks the question “Are we really alone?” Jake McDonald uses the discovered artifact to help answer that question, while attempting to unify and protect his family. His ability to think outside the box enables him to explore the worlds beyond the bounds of Earth’s atmosphere.

Earth (Ship book four) is two stories occurring in the same place but at different points in time. The first timeline starts seven years after a man-made plague appears to kill everyone on Earth. Six Technical Force survivors struggle to discover what happened to all the people and defend themselves against Ice Age animals and an unknown human enemy that also survived. They establish a new home in Oregon where generations of children spread their exploration throughout the mainland U.S. The second timeline concerns the events following Jake McDonald’s return to Earth more than a hundred ...

Story
It was a quiet day in Paradise, Iowa, or at least Sheriff Sam Preston thought so as he drank his morning coffee. First, the power goes out, then a prehistoric animal kills a local man at the edge of town. Problems escalate with no GPS, a loss of all communication, and all roads into Paradise are cut off by heavy forest. When he realizes that the problems border on the side of science fiction, he assembles a hodge-podge team of scientists to figure out why it appears that the small Iowa town is the only human habitation on Earth. You are probably wondering how there can be a Ship Book Six ...

To do that, the Meduala sent them a living weapon to assist with the battle. One that the Meduala has spent thousands of years trying to deal with. Is the new weapon more of a problem than the Ogres?

One with an AI that needed a crew so it could pass itself off as a non-AI ship. Having survived their first adventure in space, they now had a new, larger, and much faster ship.

Jake’s commute home takes an unexpected detour, leaving him stranded on a completely different planet. He soon finds himself in a high-tech hospital in a world populated by strange alien races. However, the new world is not your standard Isekai story. These are not the cliché cute monster girls or the generic characters that look like they were borrowed from a video game. In this world, he is the primitive, has no magic or cheat abilities, and has no clue what will happen. Jake tries to learn to live in the new world but discovers that not everything is what it seems.

The modern gods are gone; they have been removed from power by the old gods. The old gods are back: Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Roman, Hindu, Aztec, Celtic, Japanese, Chinese, Babylonian, and many others. The first thing they do is kill off over 1 billion people who have been judged as Evil. They also eliminate the weapons of all of the militaries, all nuclear power fuel, and waste. Gordon Anderson was a clerk at a 7-11, and he was (as usual) late for work. That is suddenly the least of his problems. The world is changing; everything is in turmoil. However, the most disturbing fact may be that ...
