Epik Adventures: Here Be Dragons

Book excerpt: Humanity has reached an era of peace and prosperity thanks to the discovery of energy crystals from another dimension called Crystal Prime, a land of magic and mythological creatures. When this peace is threatened, worldwide political conglomerates race to train teams to keep humankind safe. Although things look bleak, a program offers a few chosen names a slender hope. Five American retirement-age people from differing backgrounds hold the key to victory. They transfer to Crystal Prime in a desperate attempt to save humanity from its mysterious enemy. The new team, code-named Epik, must adjust to the youthful bodies received in the transfer process, learn martial abilities and magic in a different dimension, and work among races of elves, dwarves, and dragons. They also face assassins, a hostile environment, traitorous friends, and raging hormones. In this novel, a team of retirees receives new bodies and works together in another dimension to protect humanity.
