Night Hawks
A burned-out radio engineer named Malcolm Davis stops at a remote mountain tunnel late one night. A glowing green orb lifts him into the air, forces him to install a strange device on the highest broadcast tower, and suddenly the violent weather across the region… stops. Storms vanish. Tornadoes die in their tracks. Four ordinary people begin changing in impossible ways — a baby developing superhuman intelligence, a mid-level manager’s IQ exploding overnight. What looks like a miracle is actually the opening move in an alien experiment to merge with humanity. But the invaders never counted on one thing: the power of people who still know how to pray.

The Travellers
Three angels walk the earth disguised as ordinary people. Daniel, Sarah, and Paul answer desperate prayers across time and continents — from a terrified young woman on a midnight train in Russia to a praying grandmother in the gang-ruled streets of Chicago. Sometimes they offer quiet comfort. Sometimes they draw blazing swords and bleed golden light while demons laugh at them. The more people pray, the stronger the Travellers become. The fewer who pray, the harder they fall. A sweeping collection of ten stories about spiritual warfare, divine friendship, and the invisible battles fought over every human soul.
