In the world of Palatovia, a demon lord seeks an ancient artifact, the Book of Stars, in the city of Centuria to gain power over the entire planet. Through his dark arts, he now commands all of the demons and other vulgar beasts, including several members of the royal family now existing as demons. Ptolemy, age 10, counts himself in their number—but the demon lord doesn't yet know the demon-who-was-once-a-boy possesses what he seeks. While General Gathar and his army fight to get their city and freedom back from the demons, the general learns that what he is afraid of most—magic—is what will save humanity as a new world war begins.

In this dramatic one-volume sci-fi trilogy, three spacecraft crash land on Earth following the destruction of a far-off planet by two warring royal houses. Now, with the discovery of the third craft, the rivalry breaks out in an apocalyptic battle to determine Earth's future. It is a battle between equally determined forces involving two princes, the Queen Mother, and the humans the rival aliens have adapted themselves to—including the twins Joe and Hawk and their father Frank Grayer, an intelligence agent for the U.S. Department of Defense. The Third Craft is a spirited, gripping saga of morality, cosmic civil war, and human evolution—an adventure into the limits of technology, the nature of evil, and the destiny of humankind.
