The Dharman Series novels (science fiction) by John Schettler were written in the early 90s and have been showcased on the web since 1996. The first of this three book set, Wild Zone, is now available in trade paperback for the first time.

This section of the site will continue to present material on the trilogy, and will keep readers posted on the production of these novels.

The briefing section will present the basic story elements and information on the setting and time frame of the story. The Characters section contains custom illustrations of all the major characters (Illustrations by Luke McAullife.) The story section will present a brief synopsis of book I, Wild Zone.

I hope you enjoy this preview.
