The Creeping Darkness of Janaidar

Elijah's struggle to survive continues.Stolen from his world and reshaped by the enigmatic artificial intelligence known as the WuShi, he is no longer fully human. Now bound to an ancient, alien consciousness obsessed with achieving hyper-sapience, Elijah must fight to retain what remains of his mind as the WuShi tightens its control.On the distant planet Janaidar-where ancient dragons rule the skies and forgotten powers stir beneath the surface-a new threat emerges. In the depths of Cape Orion, an Imperial Long Dragon awakens, drawn to a growing darkness it cannot ignore. But what it finds is not the enemy it expected... only a broken man transformed into something far more dangerous.As a massive alien vessel descends over Bahndahn Towne, unleashing a paralyzing gas upon its people-the long-feared NuliZhu slavers return after 5,000 years. And at the center of it all, the WuShi begins to evolve-warping water, matter, and energy into monstrous new forms.But even the WuShi has limits.For on Janaidar, the Guardian Dragons are the only force capable of destroying it-and they are already awakening.Caught between alien domination and ancient power, Elijah may be the key to saving this world... or the instrument of its destruction.Where science fiction collides with epic fantasy, a battle for mind, body, and planet begins.
