Aimee Patterson walked into the woods on the other side of the pond. She returned five years later with a tale she could never share.
BEYOND
The day after Aimee Patterson’s high school graduation, her dreams of college and becoming an engineer are interrupted. On an early evening walk, her cocker spaniel charges into the woods, and Aimee follows. In the stillness of the forest, the unthinkable happens. She becomes paralyzed and watches in horror as her hands vanish before her eyes.
She wakes to find herself kidnapped and far from home. A group of human-like aliens fleeing an epidemic travels the galaxies seeking an antidote, and Aimee is mistakenly taken during one of their missions.
Now, Aimee must navigate the advances of an awkward young scientist who seems intent on dissecting her as her own fascination turns to the exotic young warrior, Zak. Having fallen in love with Zak, she faces a difficult choice: return to Earth or live beyond the stars.
TWO SUNS
They were coming. It wasn't so much the sound that revealed them. It was the subtle vibration of the ground beneath his feet, like the percussion of a distant explosion. It was their march. The dead tread of stone against sand. A ghostly gait of menace.
Alone in a desert world...a world he once called home, Zak is now a damaged man. Reckless in his battle against the creatures that destroyed his family, he roams under the glare of the two suns, seeing phantoms--seeing Aimee.
Five years had passed since Aimee Patterson left the man she loved. For five long years she traveled the path of life, always waiting--always looking to the stars, knowing, hoping, that one day he would return for her. And today was that day...
THREE PATHS
Aimee Patterson is coming home...but this time she is not alone.
After spending years in space on an alien ship, Aimee Patterson is finally coming home. But this time she is not alone. Her lover Zak wants to meet her parents, and her friend Raja wants to experience life on Earth. Both get more than they ever bargained for.
Within days of being on Earth, Raja is caught up in an FBI sting operation. She is intrigued by Special Agent Craig Buchanan, but things go horribly wrong. Raja is faced with a dilemma. Save Agent Buchanan’s life or risk revealing her true identity.
It was supposed to be an innocent trip to Earth.... now Aimee, Zak, and Raja are fugitives of the ultimate kind.
FOUR WORLDS
Expecting their first child, Zak and Aimee flee Earth, fearing their baby's genetic anomalies will be discovered. They return to the safety of the Guardianship Horus, where this unique toddler will be welcomed unconditionally. But they learn that the Horus is not the refuge they were looking for. The colossal ship has been damaged and is forced to land.
Anthum—a planet of lush landscapes, grand temples, and sparkling shorelines—was once abandoned by the citizens of the Horus due to an epidemic. Now, with the virus eliminated, they can return to the pristine land they once called home. But Anthum is not the paradise they remember. Beneath its beautiful facade lies hidden secrets powerful enough to turn its settlers into nomads once again.
Amidst this chaos, the young warrior Gordeelum crash lands in a secluded valley, only to be captured by its inhabitants. Facing a grim fate, his survival hinges on the possibility of transforming foes into allies.
Fleeing Earth to protect their child, Zak and Aimee instead find themselves in a land filled with deception.
Will they survive this fourth world?
ZON
From USA TODAY bestselling author Maureen A. Miller's BEYOND series comes the new ZON mini-series. Meet Zon, a young man with a unique heritage—half Earthling, half Ziratakian—and a host of galactic challenges to overcome
With a father from the planet, Ziratak, and a mother from Earth, Zon's challenges are galactic. Zon doesn't possess superpowers, though. If anything, he's a bit of a klutz.
In Ziratakian folklore, the tale of the Temple of the Monarch has been passed down for generations. As legend has it, a series of miniature globes lead to the temple’s gate.
Folklore…nothing more.
Except, Zon knows of a cave with small globes in it. And with one clumsy mishap, he triggers the gate–opening a portal to other worlds. A trip through this vortex transports him to Earth, where the first human he encounters is a young woman with challenges of her own.
ZON: THE EXPLORER
COMING FEBRUARY 2025!
From the world of the BEYOND series comes the exciting conclusion to the ZON mini-series.
No longer Zon, the galactically challenged, now he's Zon the Explorer. But every explorer can get lost eventually.
Zon is enjoying a brief break before embarking on his first mission as an explorer for the HORUS Space Fleet. What does an explorer do during his time off? He tries to communicate with his friend, Cassy, on Earth. But Cassy isn't returning his Holo-Relay calls.
Concerned, Zon returns to the portal on Ziratak and plugs in the combination for Earth. He finds Cassy, but a mishap brings her back through the portal with him. Before he can return her safely, a sudden skirmish with an old enemy sends Zon, Cassy, and his droid companion, JOH, spiraling through the portal to an unknown destination.
Or is it unknown? As they find themselves facing a mystical castle perched atop snowcapped mountains, Zon realizes they’ve landed at the Temple of the Monarch—a place he’s spent his life searching for. But with the portal sealed behind them, Zon and Cassy may be trapped in this mysterious world… forever.
