    About this ebook

    When Roald Menal designed the Ghosting Extractor based on Harold Mooney’s RLP (Refractive Light Pulses) Theory, Holo-Domes (Holographic Cinemas) were soon to become the new rage. But little did the world know that Mooney had discovered a more sinister application for his theory; a fantastic secret that he dare not reveal to anyone else!

    Gary Kuyper

    Gary Kuyper began his professional literary career writing self-help and general interest articles for Daan Retief Publishers who produced a monthly book for their woman’s club called Woman’s Forum. These articles would sometimes require research and had titles as diverse as The Human Brain and Body Painting!Being a professional photographer on a part-time basis Gary has also managed to have his articles on photography (With accompanying photographs) published in books and magazines. He has also done some free-lance photography and photojournalism projects for numerous local newspapers.Over the past four years he has constantly managed to be one of the top finalists in the Nova Short Story Competition (A competition for budding writers of science fiction and/or fantasy).Last year (2009) Gary had the pleasure of seeing The Devil's Little Tadpoles grace the pages of the local SF & Fantasy Fanzine Probe.He is an avid film buff and amateur film maker. A few years ago I managed to take first prize in the SA Ten Best Film Makers Competition with a short film entitled The Crimson Cobra - An action-packed martial arts / superhero movie using some of the very talented local artists.He is a qualified prosthetics make-up artist and has used this talent on both amateur and professional productions. He has also appeared on television in a youth program especially made for enlightening people in the art of special effects make-up.Gary has a rather excellent general knowledge being not only an avid writer but reader of any material that is able to stimulate him cerebrally.He taught himself Adobe Photoshop and has become adapt and proficient enough at utilizing the software to such a degree that he has managed to sell a number of creations to various institutes and organizations. He is particularly fond of a logo designed for the Krazy Mug Coffee Shop and several covers that have graced the front of Probe.Gary has a vast knowledge of music and has appeared on the local Television Music Quiz Show Note for Note where he was able to win a substantial amount of prize money.In 2008 he entered the SF / Fantasy Mini Radio Play Competition and took first prize with his The Adventures of Captain Max Power of the Intergalactic Police - an obvious homage to the early Flash Gordon radio series’. A number of skilled professionals are now planning to produce Max to CD and have it aired on a local radio station (SAfm).All his literary and photojournalistic accomplishments have been done on a part-time basis due to the fact that his full time career is lecturing mathematics as well as engineering science at a Technical College. Although this is a most fulfilling profession, it has long been Gary's ideal to become a full-time writer – especially of fantasy, science fiction and horror novels.He has recently published his first full-length fantasy novel - The Chronicles of Baltrath: The DARK WIZARDS.As a considerable amount of time and effort has been expended in building the world of Baltrath, Gary has begun work on a sequel to The Dark Wizards.

      The enormous figure swung the clubbing device in a wide arc. It crashed hard against the side of the screaming attacker’s head, sending the top portion of the helmeted appendage flying high over the rest of the angry, surging mob. The lower jaw, still attached to the rest of the body flapped as the now naked throat continued to shout and gurgle while hot liquid gushed and squirted from the savagely torn main artery running up the back of the neck. It splashed into the face of the wild-eyed assailant, a visage already stained with the gory viscera of the one hundred and twenty eight men that had been crushed by the supernatural and unrelenting strength that coursed through his large frame. The long dark hair that had once waved free and sensually in the breeze was now glued to the rest of his naked, sanguine-spattered torso. One hundred and twenty eight men, yet still they pressed forward in their unrelenting pursuit to destroy the man on the narrow-topped hillock.

      How many is that? asked Roger McTavish in his thick Glasgow accent.

      The man seated three seats to his right, switched on his mini-flashlight and gazed at the counter that he had been furiously clicking during the incredible demonstration. I may have missed a few sir, but it’s well over a hundred already.

      Fantastic! cried McTavish raising his arm so that its shadow appeared on the large flickering viewing screen. I’m convinced! I’ve seen enough! This is almost too much, even for a seasoned goremonger like myself. Whoee! Ha! Ha! He was still smiling and laughing when the lights of the small theater reached full illumination. Not quite my type of…signature material, but impressive. He turned to the small, curly headed and bespectacled man sitting three seats to his left. The CG is…breathtaking. My people were right. You are…very good!" He
