"Invitation to a New and Exciting World" By Larry T. Bowen

Invitation to a New and Exciting World

By Larry T. Bowen on August 3, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

Charles Harder, in CHERINE WAR , creates events and characters which can only be

matched by Philip K Dick and Scott Card. In truth, Harder may have taken a leap ahead

of these two master writers, in fact. Harder's underlying philosophy, which seems based

on both literature and visual imagery is breath taking. I have studied and read amazing

work in my life, but this actually shocked me as I read it. The narrative takes you as

Philip K Dick has (examples - Dick's BLADE RUNNER, or Scott Card's ENDERS GAME)

and suddenly you find your self inside a world which you trust, and then you are
awakened by events and realize you have been caught just as the characters have.
This is an amazingly readable work, but with quick and dark turns which take you into
further and further mystery, seeking the answer to the world. I recommend it for anyone
who wishes to read a writer who will redefine the texture of writing. Enjoy this book,
and have fun.

Cherine War Press Release

A method has been discovered to infuse war machines with the spirits of the dead, forcing them to relive the most painful memories of their past lives in an endless spiral as they are pulled from the ether and used as energy for their mechanical purposes on the battlefield for exterminating their master’s enemies. They are only partially aware of the killing, living half in a dream, half in a state of rage. Though this knowledge has resurfaced, there are those in power actively opposing its resurgence.

However, these Cherine Wars are only a relic, a throwback to a time when technology, technology only one man could have conceived, was brought into the knowledge of men. Then, light had gone out of the heavens in the blink of an eye, so had the means for clustered intergalactic travel, and in time people completely forgot they were once connected to the rest of the universe. Religions cropped up over the millennia as a result, referencing times immemorial when Reyes roamed The System. As eons passed, people forgot there were once means for super-longevity, and as technology now begins again to gain a foothold on the edge of human consciousness, only General Lancaster, spearheading the Seventh Legion of the Outer System, can lead the impetus to restoring order in The System out of a demigod’s reign of biorbital terror and religious indoctrination on a system-wide scale. With a newly formed group of transcendental warriors backed by the full force of Cherine Loyalists, he intends to free the spirits of the damned, and take back the heavens that once belonged to them.

First time novelist Charles Harder sets out to fuse his passion and interest of philosophy and beliefs from East to West, with influences varying from western Sci-Fi and Fantasy literature and Japanese RPGs from the golden days of the 16-bit and 32-bit era of masterful storytelling that went completely under the radar. Cherine War is out today on Amazon.com in Paperback and for Kindle App!

Lost to the heavens written in ancient scripts The System drifts in eternal darkness with only the light of the Twin Stars, the Centra Sun and the Second Sun. At present, little is known about the Inner System and its worlds to the more technologically developed Outer System. One thing that is known is that it is either ruled by a man, a God, an empirical corporation, or a religious cult. There exists a unified trade from their worlds evident most of all on the planet Santoon, where the Outer System world of Foster has stationed its Seventh Legion First Battalion. The Sijan corporate empire on Outer Worlds vastly differs from the Inner System's ecclesiocracy ruling over its worlds' inhabitants. As he feeds on the otherwise unsuspecting commerce of greedy and honest traders alike, he amasses immense stockpiles of lucrenium from beneath their worlds' surfaces, repurposing battle-ready machines harboring the spirits of the dead known as Cherine Wars, as collectors, miners, gatherers of a destructive element with the power to destroy The System entire. And unless the Outer System military forces spearheaded by Seventh Legion General Lancaster can stop him, he has the mind to do it.
