Written in depth over a seven book series, and the first four books written back-to-back to maintain plot integrity, The Alarai Chronicles is a saga of two worlds, Earth and Aketti. Two worlds
whose destinies are tied together by Jeff Friedrick, an instructor in anthropology at the university in Seattle. Earth is technologically sophisticated, Aketti primitive, but it is Earth that
is sliding back to anarchy and chaos.In the first volume in the series, Exile to the Stars, Jeff is fired without cause and leaves on a hike to sort his life out. Knocked unconscious by an
earthquake, he awakes high in an unfamiliar mountain range unaware that he is no longer on Earth. Just getting out of the mountains nearly kills him, and nothing makes sense on the hike out.
Then one clear night, two moons rise over the forest. Now it is clear. He truly is lost.This is the story of a twenty-first century man, an anthropologist, challenged to survive the elements
and a radically diffrent society where academic credentials mean nothing. Aketti is a primitive world where a man gains respect by what he does rather than by what he says he will do. There is
no safety net, no court of law, and there are no lawyers. You are on your own. At the same time, life is uncomplicated. You always know where you stand. Given the environment back on Earth,
Jeff comes to cherish the freedoms that go with taking responsibility for your actions. Exploring Arvalia, searching for answers, Jeff roams the continent from northern ice fields to steamy
jungles far in the south. There he finds answers, but also more questions.People who are not what they seem, animals that are much more than that, battles that span a continent, discovery of
power, and a state of love that Jeff had given up ever finding - all intermix in a fast-paced adventure that spans two worlds.
