About this ebook
For months Danielle has poured her heart and soul into the transportation device which will revolutionize travel across the Earth. Her last hurdle is to test the transmission process on herself. What she didn't realize when she went into the pod, was that she'd opened a doorway into another dimension and caught the attention of the guardian of that world, Archangel Kirin.
To avoid having his head cleaved from his shoulders, Kirin must stop the infuriating, determined scientist from opening the gateway and unleashing a human horde upon his world. It would be easier if she would just cooperate and stop distracting him with her lush, naked body.
Rating: Novella: 21,000+ words. Previously released as The Fallen and expanded and revised for reissue. Also contains an excerpt from Renegade.

Prologue
In the beginning, when the star dust of an exploding sun sprinkled the world with the seeds of life, they were among the first to crawl from the primordial soup, emerging as chameleon-like creatures, able to change shape and color at will to protect themselves from the predators that emerged alongside them. Like the salamander, they could heal the most grievous wounds with amazing speed and grow new appendages when necessary. This gift for rapid cell regeneration, they used to give themselves an even stronger advantage over the beasts that would prey upon them, the development of wings to glide high above the tangle of vegetation that had sprouted from the soil, where death lay behind every frond and leaf. Eventually they developed the ability for true flight.
These endowments gained them the right to life when others perished and eventually, over time, they emerged as the Elumi, evolving into the dominant, intelligent species of their world.
When the first, ape-like creatures that were man’s ancestors emerged and began their struggle to cultivate and dominate nature, the Elumi had already conquered the known world and its skies, and their gifts had led them to see what no other eyes could see—the gateway to a world that coexisted with the primitive, violent Earth, beyond the destructive forces of nature, beyond the reach of time, beyond the tedious struggles of mankind, who were multiplying and polluting the world the Elumi had dominated for ages.
For a time, the Elumi and mankind lived side by side and the Elumi enjoyed the awe with which these weaker creatures viewed them, calling them gods, angels, demons, fairies—and endowing these God-like beings with many powers the Elumi didn’t actually possess. For a time, the Elumi fought the boredom of their existence with these intelligent beasts, amused themselves with these savage, pseudo-intelligent creatures, but there was little sport in it when all was said and done and in time they grew more annoyed than amused and the Elumi passed beyond the gate, away from the distraction of these lesser beings to pursue their own course.
Their gifts had made them virtually immortal, resulting in a notable lack of fear of death, which encouraged their natural aggressiveness. With no reason to progress beyond that stage they found most compatible with their warlike dispositions, they simply did not. The strongest and most aggressive carved out kingdoms for themselves, twelve in all. Twelve kingdoms dwindled to four as the ages passed and one by one they fell to a mightier foe.
Many ages of mankind passed in the world below them while the remaining kingdoms contented themselves with merely squabbling over boundaries and incursions into the other kingdoms from time to time to count coup or to take a particularly appealing prize, but the time came when they grew restless. The time came when the petty disputes erupted once more into all out war when King Braeden of Nardu threatened the balance of power by seeking to ally himself to the kingdom of Marceena by marriage to the Princess Leia.
Wily King Edric, father of Princess Leia, did not oppose the match, but did not approve it either since he was well aware that King Braeden wanted his kingdom far more than his daughter. He allowed the courtship and bided his time while he considered how he might turn the situation to his own advantage and add the Kingdom of Nardu to his own holdings under his rule.
The threat was enough to alarm both King Sorecet of Garyn and King Gozal of Tearra and although they were fast enemies, they began to negotiate the possibility of joining forces to oppose the army they feared would rise against them the moment King Braeden and King Edic settled their differences.
And thus it came about that the wars in the land of Pearthen, high Earth, spilled over into the lower world of mankind once more.
Chapter One
Danielle Logan couldn’t believe she’d finally succeeded in building the next big thing.
The thing
that would revolutionize the world; eliminate vast amounts of pollution; connect life from one end of the world to the other in seconds...even far reaching space travel was now a possibility.
She felt like bouncing around the room, she was so excited. Finally, she would have the respect of the scientific community, and she wouldn’t have to put up with bureaucratic tic bullshit to have a good life. She would have money, lots of money, for research or whatever. The sense of achievement had her floating on cloud nine, but of course, the money aspect of her invention was a damned fine bonus.
Tamping her excitement, Danielle studied the transporter pods. She’d have to think of a less sci-fi name for them otherwise people wouldn’t take them seriously.
Then again, having them linked to sci-fi might not be such a bad thing if she could get over the hump of people believing that using a transporter would turn them into a monster. It could get the system into use much quicker.
Just thinking about marketing strategies boggled her mind, but it was something she’d have to consider since she’d opted to do her experiments entirely on her own—without help, or intervention, from established labs. It had been the only way to retain her rights. Unfortunately, most of the experimental labs had wanted her to sign away every idea she could possibly come up with years down the road—even if she left and struck out on her own—they would see it as a violation of their rights and she’d be liable.
It’d been hard scrounging for money, but well worth the hardships she’d endured.
Once she’d worked out the kinks in her system and successfully transported simple inanimate objects like paper and pens without a hitch, she’d moved on to complex structures: DVDs; telephones; computers; fruit, KFC. When the fruit went through and tasted fine, she’d moved on to mice and then rats; a cat; a toy poodle she’d borrowed from a neighbor while she was away at work.
Okay, so it was immoral, but she’d been confident nothing would happen and she needed to test larger
