Revenge

by Duane L. Martin

Overview

When word started to spread among the tribes in the Faranox dimension about the raid on one of their villages by five humans who'd killed many agaronin and freed their captive slaves, they came up with a plan to combine several of their villages into one massive settlement, so they could defend against any such attacks in the future. To create such a settlement however, they would need more slaves than the ones they currently possessed, and that's when they did something they shouldn't have done. They went to the Blue Fin dimension, attacked Freddie's village, and captured at least half of the blue fins on the island.

When the blue fins make a desperate call to Freddie to ask for help from their human friends, Derek must come up with a rescue plan that's larger and far more involved than the one they'd used when they rescued Jarrod's family. They're also going to need some help if they're going to have any hope at all of pulling it off. To that end, several of their parents are recruited to help, along with Jeremy and the gang, and the rest of the blue fins from the island who are brought to the human dimension, not only for their own protection, but also so they can be trained for their role in the mission.

Time is of the essence, but developments in the Faranox dimension threaten to throw a monkey wrench into their plans. Fortunately, with the help of the backers and their mysterious rep, they may just be able to pull it off.

Also, when the backers suddenly start feeling even more generous, the rep tells Patricia that they'll be tearing down their current home, and replacing it with a new home that will better serve their needs. What they received when all was said and done however, went far beyond any of their wildest dreams.

Revenge continues the Unseen Things saga with new team members, new revelations, and a visit from someone who's about to become an even more important part of their lives than they already were.

Revenge is book 4 of the Unseen Things series.

About the Author

An avid reader since he first discovered the Hardy Boys books in the second grade, Duane L. Martin spent years being educated by some truly great authors. His first attempts at writing a novel came in the early nineties, when he was deeply involved in reading every Forgotten Realms novel he could get his hands on. This first attempt was created on a spiffy Apple ||c computer, using the Bank Street Writer word processing software. Unfortunately, writer's block struck a deadly blow, and the novel was never finished. Even more unfortunately, he made several more false starts on various novels over the years, but time and time again writer's block would get in the way, and these attempts all fell along the wayside.
In 2013, while sitting around bored and staring blankly at his screen, a germ of an idea began to form in his brain, and he decided to make one last attempt at writing a book. This book (Origins) took on a life of its own as he wrote it, and it ended up turning into a full on series, ending (he thought) with book 21 (Genesis) in 2015. Fast forward to 2021. Looking back on the series, he decided to re-edit all the books into second editions so that they would all measure up to his current writing ability, while at the same time adding a considerable amount of material to each of them in the process. This was both tedious and time consuming, as each book not only required two editing passes (42 editing passes in total for the existing series), but for the first time a print version was being created for each book, which was even more time consuming. Speaking of time consuming... When he reached the final editing pass of the last book in the series, which was actually written to be the final book of the series, he felt like he wasn't yet ready to let go of his characters. So, seven years after Genesis, he set to work on Aftermath, which was designed to be a slice of life sort of a book about what happened to the characters immediately following the events that concluded Genesis.
Oddly enough, the book poured out of him like it was meant to be. He slipped right back into the characters once again like a comfortable old shoe, and in no time at all, the story was finished. Will it be the final book in the series? Unlike Genesis, Aftermath wasn't specifically written to feel like the final book, so who knows? Perhaps there’s still more to tell when it comes to the Unseen Things universe. Only time will tell.
 
Aside from his writing, Duane is also a musician. He took his first bass guitar lesson in 1987 and has been playing bass ever since. He also plays some guitar, and a little keyboard and some percussion as well, with a particular focus on hand drums. As he's always been a great lover of music, he often has it playing quietly in the background while he writes.
Born and raised in Northern California, he would later move to Idaho, where he lives the quiet life of a relative hermit with his wife Sharon, and their two dogs.
