About

Modern day: Vearios, a fallen sorcerer from Ancient Greece, has awakened from a three-thousand year slumber— just as mankind found the key to pulling away the inevitable collapse of society. Thanks to Vearios’s loyal servant Xamorus, a shrewd businessman who has amassed billions in resources in anticipation of his return, everything was already in place for world conquest. As a result, Man’s first extraterrestrial encounter, along with its precious Retro-travel technology, is kidnapped. And through a cleverly executed 15-minute manipulation of time, six-thousand men brought the entire world to its knees. This terrible day came to be known as V-Day. Once victory was achieved, Vearios proclaimed his rightful title as a God, and announced his plans of enforcing a New World Order…

Unfortunately for Vearios, modern society was not nearly as supple and submissive as in the days of old. To which, in spite of an impenetrable nuclear stronghold, and a massive and unstoppable army, Vearios was forced to face a new set of challenges: rumors, cynicism, ridicule, parody, all voiced through an unexpected foe—the media. Unable to maintain an unquestionable rule, Vearios establishes the Time Tournament, giving anyone who feels that they can stop him a chance to do so. If victorious, the winner will be granted an opportunity to alter time as he or she sees fit. If Vearios emerges undefeated, however, his New World Order will continue as planned, no further questions asked…

In Peripheral Conflict, Vearios and his manipulation of time become the common thread that pulls various social, cultural, and historical realms into the throes of a post-nuclear society— while readers are pulled into a compelling tale peopled by a unique cast of personalities, determined to undo what has been done. The answers are out there – and they are all just beyond peripheral view…
