{ "item_title" : "The Battle for Laurone", "item_author" : [" Steven Ulysses Allen "], "item_description" : "The World of Ereshmar Thousands of years ago, a massive interstellar, intergalactic starship left a planet, which was the third world from its mother star. The vessel carried many passengers in the hopes of spreading culture, commerce, and comity to Emdriune - also known as Galaxy Andromeda by the citizens of their home world. However, a pirate vessel attacked and severely damaged the city-like ship. The unmapped Emdriune harbors many worlds suitable for life and the Iodva computer system piloted the broken vessel towards the nearest habitable world. This planet was austere in the beginning. There were patches of swamps and forests, but most of the planet was barren and arid. Extraordinarily hostile fauna and flora covered over half of the land. The occupants of the crashed vessel were not without resources to deal with these challenges, however. They possessed technology that few today would comprehend. The travelers launched the IODVA supercomputer into orbit to moderate the extreme weather and adjust the gravity to a single G. IODVA absorbs the life-giving of the nearest star within their new home start system so far away from Sol. Several machines capable of emitting madori waves were strategically placed throughout the planet enabling god-like powers to those aware of their existence.The bipedal arrivals used their weapons technology to drive the towering behemoths that would otherwise devour people, to obscure parts of the continents and oceans. Few today have observed the remaining titans that tread the waters of Kerouvea or crawl beneath Mount Gorthreshni, and only the most educated and devout scholars would be able to identify the weapons technology possessed by the ancients. Cannons that absorb and regurgitate the fires of volcanos. Flying swords that explode with the power of 10,000 barrels of leffle dust. These weapons of destruction quelled the beasts and gave humanity a chance on this isolated world. Finally, the Taraku created a tenuous pact, which ensured that the extraterrestrial humans from the third world of Sol never encroached upon Mount Taraku, the sacred home of these majestic creatures. These intelligent beasts were as long as the mightiest cetaceans that swam within the Terran waters of their home planet but possessed an intelligence that the alien primates from Earth did not comprehend. The exceptionally large, dragon-like serpents of Mount Taraku maintained an order that the new arrivals sought to disrupt, but they observed kindness in some and decided equality was preferable to extermination. The Kouzelin represents an order of humans trained to use the madori emitters scattered worldwide. These machines emit waves that can influence human consciousness, and thanks to their combination with photon frequency modulators, can produce materials from energy erupting from the core or bestowed upon them by Iodva, the sun goddess.Civilizations have risen and fallen over the past five thousand years, but the Kouzelin remain on all continents thanks to the final sacrifice made by one man long ago. May the inhabitants of this world never forget the sacrifices of Laurona Cooper, Xolani Parsekuma, and the immortal... Glynn Ereshmarni. Their blood remains within all of us forever. This is a tale of their descendants.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/888/260/9798882601071_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "10.50", "online_price" : "10.50", "our_price" : "10.50", "club_price" : "10.50", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
