New Science Fiction Follows Futuristic Beings from Other Planet

Don V Creates Fantastic Characters and Vivid Landscapes in “Infernoty”

LAPEER, Mich., Oct. 8— When four beings who have evolved to the point of having freedom from all illness and sin arrive on Earth in response to cries from help from a few humans before they perish, these alien beings embark on a mission to save a dying people and their planet in “Infernoty” (published by AuthorHouse), the riveting new novel by Don V.

The planet known as Heaven is several times larger than Earth and can support several billion inhabitants. Its inhabitants don’t age, so a limit has been set: every billion inhabitants may live for 10 generations before dying off, with the exception of a few individuals with special knowledge or talents. Every generation is designated with a letter and each individual is then named in the sequence in which they were born.

The four beings who responded to Earth’s cries for help are K508886329, the leader and documenter of the group; H34973327, a surviving H member kept alive due to her extensive knowledge of Earth; M24236971, a being with extreme control center power which allows him to communicate with Heaven; and R24, the pilot who takes them all to Earth.

When K, H, M and R arrive, they find that all life has been wiped out from an extreme heat that has evaporated most of the water on the Earth’s surface and consumed all of the oxygen in the atmosphere. They embark on a mission to search for any signs of life — past or present — and to determine the cause of the destruction. Follow this intrepid group as they seek to find answers in “Infernoty,” a compelling, thought-provoking read full of action and adventure.

Eldorado: The City of Gold

When L. Norman Shurtliff took the opportunity to serve a mission in South America for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it was a mission to reach out to others. But, in return, Peru and its people also reached out to Shurtliff, sparking in him a lifelong passion for the culture and its legends. Now, after a lifetime of studying and visiting South America, Shurtliff uses that passion to bring to life the story of a “chosen and elect” people in his intriguing new novel, “Eldorado: The City of Gold” (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com).

Readers quickly meet Monica Rodriguez, who returns to her beloved hometown of Cusco, Peru, to start her first job after graduating from university. Around the same time, Peter Martin, a young geology student, gets an assignment from his university to help study the ancient tunnels underneath the Incan capital city of Cusco. Peter meets Monica on his first day in town, when the two become entangled in a much larger plot that threatens more than just their lives in this tale of adventure and romance.

As the summer project unfolds, Peter becomes intrigued with the history of the conquest of Peru and the life of Francisco Pizarro. Peter is enthralled with the golden treasure amassed by Pizarro during the conquest. Pizarro was caught in a dilemma between his love for a beautiful Peruvian princess and his desire for fame, power and riches, and these riches become the subject of interest for Peter in his modern-day thoughts and scientific study.

After Peter and Monica are kidnapped by a radical terrorist group and held for ransom, the links between Pizarro’s story and that of Peter and Monica begin to come together. During their unfortunate experience, Peter and Monica become acquainted and learn more about each other’s worlds, and Peter realizes that the terrorists aren’t really after a rich American kid, but this very special Peruvian beauty. Follow them on the adventure of a lifetime as Shurtliff expertly weaves together a tale of treasure, mystery and love that entwines modern day with the past.

L. Norman Shurtliff was born in St. George, Utah, and currently lives in Taylor, British Columbia with his wife, Christal, and their four sons and three daughters. He owns and manages several businesses, but his real passion is to visit South America during Canada’s cold winter months to “escape to a land where dreams really have come true.” “Eldorado: The City of Gold” is Shurtliff’s first published book. He has completed the second book in the series, “Eldorado: The City of Kings,” and is currently at work on the third and last, “Eldorado: The Temple of Koricancha.” Shurtliff has also written an exhaustive work on Peru called “The City of Nephi,” as well as other various scientific works, family histories and business papers.
