 Forge of the Titans
THE OLD GODS ARE RETURNING-
AND SOME OF THEM ARE NOT
FRIENDLY!
When Derek Secrest was suddenly pulled out of Naval flight officer school to
take part in a top secret government project involving telepathy—because tests
showed that he had a strong latent talent for psi powers— he thought things
couldn't get weirder. He was wrong.
Soon he was contacted by a mysterious woman who could open portals at will
through spacetime. Her powers seemed godlike—and they were. Millennia ago,
extra-dimensional beings with great powers had come to earth and taken on
human form, remembered in legends as gods and goddesses—and titans, the
ancient enemies of the gods. The godlike beings had driven off the titans, but
now the old enemy is returning, with a new plan to use humans with psionic
abilities to rule the Earth, and not be driven from it this time. And the titans
always did have a fondness for human sacrifice.
Unless Derek and a handful of other telepaths can join forces with the ancient
gods to defeat the titans, the world will be plunged into a new dark age of terror
and death. Even so, judging from mythology, how much can you really trust a
god. . . ?
