Overview
Actions have consequences. You may have done something in the past, or perhaps even on this very day that could alter the course of a whole civilization, or simply change the fate of one individual. The gang soon discovers this as they start checking in on some people and places from their past to find out how things have ended up for them over the course of the past two and a half centuries.
Also, when Beth organizes a whole new round of exploration runs, Giles and Savaric find themselves on a sunless world in a dimension filled with energy forms that appear to be the ghosts of intelligent species from a variety of different dimensions. When they bring in Charles and Richard to help them investigate however, one of the energy forms tries to get at them so aggressively, that Richard decides to capture it and bring it back to the lab in order to see if they can use that energy to restore the entity to its original form. Unfortunately, what they end up bringing back is none other than an old enemy that none of them had ever expected to see again.
Repercussions is book 18 of the Unseen Things series.

About the Author
An avid reader since he first discovered the Hardy Boys books in the second grade, Duane L. Martin spent years being educated by some truly great authors. His first attempts at writing a novel came in the early nineties, when he was deeply involved in reading every Forgotten Realms novel he could get his hands on. This first attempt was created on a spiffy Apple ||c computer, using the Bank Street Writer word processing software. Unfortunately, writer's block struck a deadly blow, and the novel was never finished. Even more unfortunately, he made several more false starts on various novels over the years, but time and time again writer's block would get in the way, and these attempts all fell along the wayside.
In 2013, while sitting around bored and staring blankly at his screen, a germ of an idea began to form in his brain, and he decided to make one last attempt at writing a book. This book (Origins) took on a life of its own as he wrote it, and it ended up turning into a full on series, ending (he thought) with book 21 (Genesis) in 2015. Fast forward to 2021. Looking back on the series, he decided to re-edit all the books into second editions so that they would all measure up to his current writing ability, while at the same time adding a considerable amount of material to each of them in the process. This was both tedious and time consuming, as each book not only required two editing passes (42 editing passes in total for the existing series), but for the first time a print version was being created for each book, which was even more time consuming. Speaking of time consuming... When he reached the final editing pass of the last book in the series, which was actually written to be the final book of the series, he felt like he wasn't yet ready to let go of his characters. So, seven years after Genesis, he set to work on Aftermath, which was designed to be a slice of life sort of a book about what happened to the characters immediately following the events that concluded Genesis.
Oddly enough, the book poured out of him like it was meant to be. He slipped right back into the characters once again like a comfortable old shoe, and in no time at all, the story was finished. Will it be the final book in the series? Unlike Genesis, Aftermath wasn't specifically written to feel like the final book, so who knows? Perhaps there’s still more to tell when it comes to the Unseen Things universe. Only time will tell.
Aside from his writing, Duane is also a musician. He took his first bass guitar lesson in 1987 and has been playing bass ever since. He also plays some guitar, and a little keyboard and some percussion as well, with a particular focus on hand drums. As he's always been a great lover of music, he often has it playing quietly in the background while he writes.
Born and raised in Northern California, he would later move to Idaho, where he lives the quiet life of a relative hermit with his wife Sharon, and their two dogs.
