  If a human life force - the soul - were a powerful, harvestable, source of energy, what would that say about every human war and orchestrated catastrophe that has ever occurred? Have souls been collected for profit? How have world politics been involved? What have human souls been powering?
  We meet Dagan Harris during a catastrophic bomb run over the Pacific in World War II.  After crash landing, he endures life as a POW on a remote island camp; his desire to once again rejoin his family is the only thing sustaining him. Test after gruesome test is performed on Dagan until a General wielding soul stealing abilities shows up and wreaks havoc on the entire camp. After a daring escape, Dagan eventually returns home, but the horrifying, soul-stealing, characters he encountered abroad continue to haunt him in the form of bizarre hallucinations and ever present ravens.
  With the help of his war buddies, Sara Harte (feisty pilot) and Gareth Callahan (witty engineer/inventor/politician), Dagan embarks on a journey to seek out the terrifying, behind-the-scenes, truth of World War II. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers his own unique power to face off against the mystic oppressors from his tortured past.

Strange Youth by john legate

Strange Youth by john legate

In volume 1, little Timmy Davidson introduces his new alien friend to the 4th grade class at P.S. 246 on Show-and-Tell day. As Ludloo tries to demonstrate his ability to travel interstellar distances in the wink of an eye, a mis-calibration in the SMC brings the entire elementary school to a distant planet where strange things are afoot. It's up to Timmy and Ludloo to save the day. If they happen to build a new Food Court at the Mall and help create weapons of mass destruction along the way...so be it.

In volume 2, Ludloo decides it might be best to try a new line of work. He always wanted to be a Special Ops Janitor, and when the opportunity to clean up the Argiope Corporation's orbital space station comes along he jumps at the chance. Of course, they are trying out the prototype Singularity Vacuum packs (the latest thing in quantum cleaning technology) on a provisional basis. What could possibly go wrong?
