the fourth list 

Marcher Lord Press is thrilled to present its fourth lineup of novels.

Like the first three release lists, these three books represent the very best in Christian speculative fiction. Each has been hand-picked, lovingly edited, and beautifully presented by a team of artists, editors, and technical specialists.

For the first time in the brief history of Marcher Lord Press, all three novels in this list are sequels to previous MLP novels. You'll love getting back into these worlds.

To Darkness Fled is Book 2 in Jill Williamson'sBlood of Kings series. The first book, By Darkness Hid, is Marcher Lord Press's bestselling title.

The Word Unleashed is Book 2 in The Face of the Deep series by Steve Rzasa. Book 1, The Word Reclaimed, began the story of a lost holy book found again--in the midst of interstellar civil war. This new volume takes us to the brink of destruction, or redeption.

The Superlative Stream is Kerry Neitz's second book in The DarkTrench Saga. Book 1, A Star Curiously Singing, has received tremendous critical acclaim. Come with Sandfly and HardCandy as they search for the source of the mysterious messages Sandfly hears in his head.

to darkness fled

Enter Darkness...

They had no choice. Chased by an evil prince, Achan, Vrell, and the Kingsguard knights flee into Darkness. They head north, for Tsaftown and Ice Island , where they must free an army that can help them fight for Er’Rets.

Darkness sickens Vrell. How long can she keep her secret without being caught? Achan already suspects her of lying. If she is not careful, he will suspect her of treason, as well. She hopes he will let his suspicions go until they reach her home. Though he would not be very wise if he did.

Achan wanted freedom, but this new journey has bound him more than ever. Sir Gavin’s claim is so far fetched. First, that there might only be one god, and second, that this God chose Achan to push back Darkness, the magnificent curse of Er’Rets. Him. Achan. Barely a man himself.

Each setback Darkness brings seems minor compared to the one choice only Achan can make. What will he choose?

the word unleashed

Book 2: The Face of the Deep

Baden’s book won’t leave him alone. He’d like nothing more than to get rid of the Bible he found in the wreckage of a derelict starship. It’s brought trouble—the secret police are closing in on him. He’s fighting more with his father. And he fears that the young woman he loves may be falling under the book’s spell.

But he can’t seem to let it go.

Now he’s sharing what he’s read with believers who have awaited the return of God’s Word for decades. His mysterious rescuer, Jason, wants the Bible taken to a safe place.

So now it’s his choice. He can hide it, or proclaim it.

With Kesek in control of the Realm and coming after all its opponents, Baden will have to trust not only in his friends but in a contingent of elite soldiers determined to save the king.

He’ll have to come to grips with the power he has unleashed on the Realm of Five. And that power has plans of its own.

the superlative stream 

Sandfly is free of the rules—free of Earth—but now there’s a new mystery to solve. Using a secret ship named DarkTrench he is determined to find the source and meaning of the transmission that altered the former crew and destroyed their robot. Joining him is his new girlfriend HardCandy, another enigma whose former life for Sand has become an obsession.

Arriving in the system of the massive star named Betelgeuse; Sandfly discovers something the former crew did not—a planet! On it are the traces of a civilization that defies description. Technologically advanced, peaceful, and mystifying. Is their meeting an occurrence the scriptures predicted? HardCandy thinks so. Sand is not so sure

But what he most wants to know is: Why is he now seeing things no one else can see?

And where, is the Superlative Stream?
