Stumbling in the sand …………………. almost there ……………… just a few more feet to water. A body. A body rotting in the water! I’ve come so far ………………. I need the water, but all that’s before me is poisoned! A hard way to die. And for what? I should have just let her go. Taran Collins was a long way from home and yet what was home anymore? He had no home other than the trouble that always seemed to find him. The Fire Wind had changed everything and it was up to him to see what lay beyond the doorway that had been opened to him. Maybe there was peace to be found if he looked hard enough for it. No doubt there would be trouble as well. Ice Wind is a continuation of a series of western sci-fi novels that feature adventure, action, and faith. Christian Speculative Fiction – learn to love it! EXCERPT: Breathing hard I crashed into a boulder and lay against it for a moment. Dawn wasn’t far, but the fire was closer. Close enough to feel the heat of it against my back. Grimly I looked back to witness the progress of the sizzling flames that raced along the ground feeding on the explosiveness of the top layer of dirt. I had but minutes before the flames reached me. I could see greenery to the south, but it was still at least a half days journey away and that was only if I ran the whole time. I wasn’t going to make it. “God I need help!” I cried out. Shaking my head I acknowledged that I had been far too stubborn in asking of help from my Heavenly Father lately. It shouldn’t take dire circumstances such as this to provoke conversation with my Maker. The light was brighter and straightening up from the boulder I pressed on towards the south. Escape from the flames might be hopeless in my present condition, but I had to try. There were some projecting up-thrusts of rock ahead with one larger mound of rock in the middle of the rocky spires. Maybe I could find a sheltered spot away from the flames. It was my best chance at the moment for survival. Reaching the first outcrop of rock I realized with a start that it wasn’t a natural outcrop, but rather the fitted stones of a building’s corner foundation. Ruins? To my knowledge there was no human settlement on this world nor ever had been. The structural remnants were very old from the looks of it and the odd pillar standing here and there were inscribed with a language unfamiliar to me in my travels among the outer worlds. With renewed energy I pieced my way past ancient piles of rubble toward the central construct of stone that still stood for the most part intact. The air rebounded around me of explosions from the fast approaching storm of fire. Making my way around the still intact stone walls I came across a pillared entrance way that led into the interior of the structure. I stopped and stared for a moment in profound shock at the emblem that was emblazoned across the top of the entryway. I’d seen the emblem before. As a boy I had seen my great-grandfather wear such an emblem about his neck on a necklace. I’d even asked him once what it was. He’d smiled and said with a faraway look, “It is but a token memory of a place long since past. Harmony. The symbol signifies harmony.”

About the Author

I'm a dreamer, a poet, a lover, a husband, a father, and a man of God. I'm inspired by what I've seen and what I've read, but what I create with my words is where I dream. I pray for inspiration, and I enjoy what I have written just as I hope that others will as well. I'm a quiet man on the outside, but writing has become the playground of my soul to express itself in the grandeur of the created worlds and tales that I have been fortunate enough to dream of. The best way to find out more about me is to read my books. I write from the heart and I express both my shortcomings and my triumphs. I like to think of my writing as 'Reality Fiction'. I tell it like I see it. Life is short and the troubles many, but with faith in Jesus Christ all things have become possible to me. I may write 'make believe', but I strive to live out what I write. I enjoy my work and I hope you do too. Have a blessed time reading my imaginative thoughts.

Hello Dear Reader,

Welcome to the world of exciting fiction that I have been blessed to write. I write in many different genres (sometimes within the same book) with an overall Gospel related theme running throughout. Some of what I write I draw from personal experiences and some from my God given ability to empathize. In any regard I write to educate the soul, fascinate the mind, and guide the flesh. Please do let me know how I succeed or don't succeed in doing those things. I welcome feedback from my readers and fans unconditionally.

Know this however; I do not write the stories I do to please people. There are story lines I write that will no doubt trigger some and make others angry. The purpose of my writing is to meaningfully relate truth, sometimes often hidden ones and to do that means I will offend at least someone. My goal is not to become wealthy as an author, by writing what people supposedly want. I do not say these things to warn you off of my stories, but rather to give you a heads up that what I write is unique and perhaps very different than anything else you may have ever read. So give my work a try and see if you like my flavor of tea. I always attempt to keep several of my books available for free on this platform so it costs you nothing to sample the wares so to speak. That said free review copies of any of my literary works are available to those who reach out and ask for them for the purpose of an honest review.

Have a blessed time reading my imaginative and sometimes highly speculative thoughts,

Guy S. Stanton, III

Another wonderful, genre-busting tale by one of the best

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

I'm at a loss for words. My only quibble is that it's yet another of those #%$&*( )@#$ novellas. I have literally run out of superlatives for Guy's books.

Another genre busting book
This is Christian, action/adventure, science fiction, western, spiritual warfare, romance at its unique best. Guy says that this series is a result of the life-long love of Louis L'amour. I had no idea that Louis had written science fiction, but evidently that's true. This second novella in Guy's new series adds another wonderful intense Biblical romance to the mix. Fire Wind, book 1, is the only one of Guy's books without the wonderful mating of a strong man and woman of God--though like most of us, they were heathen sinners before the Lord got a hold of them. These are flawed, heathen sinners redeemed and transformed by the Lord.

It's not overtly Christian
This is simply because the Savior is not mentioned, as I recall. But the spiritual truths you live through the characters are real and edifying. Taran is a wonderful hero. As always, he's strong, handsome, likable, inspiring, of impeccable character, dangerously direct--you know all the wonderful stuff we hope to find in a hero. The book is gritty, but never gratuitous. He lets the reader fill in the nasty or delightful details in his or her mind.

I like to call Guy the Christian Clive Cussler, but he's much more than that. He's a unique, fresh, inspiring teller of tales the likes of which I always hope to find. You'll love his books. Since 2012 he's released four major series and a stand alone novel. If I am remembering right, there are 16 books released with several more promised during 2015.

Compelling Fresh Super-Hero

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016

Ice Wind is a sequel to Fire Wind. Both are fascinating fusions of Western and Sci-Fi paranormal super-hero fiction - completely captivating. For an English major, there are drawbacks but not enough to affect the compelling nature of this imagined world.

Imagining a fresh super-hero in this "let's copy what Marvel Comics did" world is worthy of support and Guy Stanton III gets mine.

Ok, I need to start by saying this series was sent to me by God. I don't much like westerns or sci-fi but something about the blurb on the first book caught me and I am thankful for it.

Action packed and full of excitement. I would recommend this book to anyone who reads.

A fitting conclusion to a man's story and an engrossing introduction into the saga of a world

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015

What makes a man? Is it the past he runs from or the future he strives for. After Fire Winds this book carries on the story of Taran Collins and his journey in the light of doing Good. Like "Journey into the Deep" this too is a story of Exodus, perhaps more so. The dedication vouches for it. With many of Guy Stanton's books there carries on the theme of second chances and hope. There is a point in the story where a highly deprived and enslaved woman praises to her rescuer the greatness of God who has made her rescue possible. That is the stuff that hope is carved of.
This story also provides the romantic angle to Taran's story. However since it is a Guy Stanton story, the romance serves as more than spice and entertainment. As God created a woman for man from his flesh and bone to be joined to him similarly Zayri's purpose is to complete Taran.
If you want to fully understand the story you need to have Book I in your background. References to Edgar, the Civil War and Taran's experience of a woman's betrayal can only be understood from Book I: Fire Wind which ends beautifully with this book serving as conclusion.

BIBLE CREATURES AND SLAVES

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2015

Ice Wind is another great example of a book that will take you away from the first sentence to the last. After started reading the first page I finished that night.

The attention to detail along with using the Bible aspects in an adventure story is still making Guy Stanton III one of my favorite authors to read and recommend.
This is 5/5 with a you bet it is a must read again.

Book exchanged for an honest review~

Taran Collins has been chasing thief Zayri LaRarque across several worlds. Taran tries to hide his feelings for Zayri but can see them all the same. Taran discovers his lost ancestors in slavery and wants to help. Zayri can't believe that Taran is in her safe haven asking for her help. Taran seems to have forgotten that God has helped him. Will Taran acknowledge his need for help? Will Taran come back to God? Will Zayri end her stealing days? Your answers await you in Ice Wind.

This is an interesting series. I like how short the books are. I like the characters and story very much. The characters are believable, honest, and real. The story is compelling, honest, and real.
