Overview

Can the mind really attain power over matter?



That's what the United States Government believed during the days of the New Age-era Project Stargate, when the possibility of psychic powers in military application was tested. Remote viewing, telekinesis, telepathy, and other abilities stemming from a purported sixth sense were explored as means to attain an advantage over an enemy. Needless to say, the program was a flop, the documents declassified, and the possibility of psychic supersoldiers fell into history as a preposterous experiment we'd one day laugh at.



Or did it?



When sixteen year-old Dale Bergeron is forced to make a move to Tinville, Indiana with his parents against his will, it doesn't take long to notice strange things happen around him when he's fired up. Even stranger, his new friends Alina, Blake, and Kiki can all say the same from some point in their lives. But when the strange cloaked men seen performing rituals in the woods capture them, their rescuers become their recruiters. Discovered by the ultra-secretive United States Paranormal Combat Force, Dale and his school friends turned battle buddies set out on the path to become psychic supersoldiers, thrust into battle against America's shadowy Freemasons and the sinister plot intended by the elite wealthy secret society. Amid intertwining lies, battles, and betrayals, can Dale and the rest of Unit Terranova-7 make a difference as the evil astral being Baphomet threatens humanity with a cataclysmic planar fusion?

About the Author

Jarrett Browne, or Parker LaVitte as he’s known in fiction writing, may work in manufacturing, but when he's not dealing with nuts and bolts, he's busy using his writing to tell stories that send people on adventures, explain complex views on real-world issues, and maybe even make a reader or two laugh a little. When he was twelve, his parents found a lone page from a school assignment to write about a vacation, and went through his computer looking for the rest of his compelling story. Since then, he's worked on and off to perfect the craft, having taken multiple writing classes in his academic career as well as having finished NaNoWriMo twice. He was first published in his Senior year of high school, writing a scholarship essay for an atheist newspaper. Currently, Parker uses his writing primarily for content creation, such as social media administration and travel blogging.
As a child, Parker loved to learn history not by sitting in a classroom, but through a love of travel and war films, one shared particularly with his father. Born out of this combined with an interest in the unexplained, The Lightning War has been an idea in some form or another since Parker was the age of his characters. Through this story, he hopes to spread messages of freethought, pacifism, and the mind's power of allowing anyone to do the right thing.
