In which a teen from California meets a knight and travels with him to a world where love is, indeed, magic. This story was the first to have been translated. It's been reviewed in light of new information, and then significantly edited. If you liked the first version, you should like the second, more. Please check it.

The old gods live: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. This must be understood, or nothing wonderful can come out of the story I am going to relate.

The kids of the Global Explorer and schools throughout the world show that they can make a difference. Armed with science leavened with a touch of magic*, they help bring the Enlightenment to the most closed societies of Earth.
[*It’s magic only until you understand it.]

This is a continuation of "0300 Books 1 and 2," and parallels the second of those.

On the Global Explorer, science, espionage, and environmental activism meet Sea Cadets enrolled in a United Nations science program. The goal of the Explorer’s crew? To save the world from global warming, widespread hunger, pollution, post-Soviet Russian thuggery, and a myriad things adults created but that their children must solve.

A party of boys and teens; elves and humans; mages, clerics, and warriors, follows a quest to bring the Light into places of Darkness. Along the way, the boys meet people who are both Good and Evil, and find both enemies and allies in their quest.

This story is a sequel to “In the Prince’s Secret Service,” and “Knight Templar in Training.” Familiarity with these stories would be beneficial to readers of this story

Two teens—one an Elven mage, the other the Human son of a huntsman—meet as healer and patient, but develop much closer ties. They set out to see World, and find it to be a very different place from the sheltered existence they had led. Their lives are not made easier by the Darkness that seeks to eclipse the Light that has ruled Elvenhold and Arcadia for 5,000 years.

If you’ve read “Protector of Children” you may remember Lucas. That particular Lucas lives (or lived or will live) in Earth Analogue IV, one not unlike the one in which you are reading this except that its inhabitants include the Greek gods and at least one titan. The narrative which follows occurs (or occurred or will occur) in Earth Analogues V and VII.

The sequel to 0300 Book 1, formerly published as "Finding Danny," updated and revised.

Inspired by Piers Anthony and others. A story that combines myth and reality. Are the elder gods real?
