With a world-vibrating whoosh, a vast saucer-shaped spaceship dipped down through the atmosphere, blotting out the afternoon sun. Ian turned and there she was: Jane, his wife who had passed away 15 years ago... Once upon a time people wore t-shirts that said "Ian is God." In this century, though, Ian Better, 1970s guitar god, is old, alone, and about to lose everything he owns. In order to reclaim his life, Ian has to reunite Blue Smoke, his legendary band, and play a few concerts. But then there were flying saucers and dead wives and everything tilted into mythic confusion. On tour in a world where gods, aliens, imaginary friends, dead relatives, and cartoon coyotes are part of everyday life, the aging members of Blue Smoke discover the government's secret archive, history's greatest pot farms, the Land of the Dead, a town without rock'n'roll, and the secrets of time travel. Legendary Blue Smoke is a crazy psychedelic trip through worlds both perplexing and profound. "Imagination, Insight and the Third I - Irreverence. Phil Farber serves as the hyphen between Science and Fantasy; the 'n' between Rock and Roll. Along with style and wit, the secret ingredient in his prose is magic galore." -Paul Krassner, author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut: Misadventures in the Counterculture

When Robin begins to investigate the strange events surrounding her great-grandfather and vanishes without a trace, her closest friend Trista will have to pick up the pieces of the puzzle. Before long, Trista finds herself trapped in another world. A place that has been kept secret since the earliest civilizations began. This knowledge was hidden and passed down by the knights templar, the freemasons, and world leaders including the U.S. Presidents. In a world rich with mythical creatures and new found friends, Trista will have to fight with her newly acquired powers and follow the guidance of many of history's greatest influences including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and others not so friendly such as Blackbeard the pirate. In a world with eternal life for outsiders, only Trista can reverse the evil that was accidentally established by her forefather. She must overcome many trials in order to restore peace to the land. The Lorian Legend is history and fantasy at its best.
