A KF:TLC novel by JP Kraft
Fulfilling his heart's desire--it's what every man wishes. For Peter Caine, it's being reunited with Mai Chi, a woman he loves and believes is lost to him forever. For Kwai Chang Caine, it's building a life with his son. For one, an impossible dream; for the other, a dream come true. Then everything changes.
A mystic sword, a determined madman, and a gaping portal in time and space--all combine to rip Peter from his home and father and send him back into the arms of the woman who holds his heart. Peter learns to accept this loss of father and friends as he finds his heart's desire with Mai Chi and the life they build together.
Arriving on the scene seconds too late, Caine is tormented by the loss of his son. Refusing to accept his loss, he will stop at nothing to get Peter back--even if it means turning his back on the Shaolin and Shambhala itself. With Kermit's assistance, Caine embarks on the most challenging journey of his life--crossing time and space to fulfill his heart's desire and bring his son safely home.
| Peter's eyes opened wide. All he could see was the
blade thrusting at him. Move! he screamed inside.
Move or you're a dead man, Caine! He was frozen, he could see
the blade, droplets of blood--his blood--rolling off the deadly edge. "Peter!" Father! Caine was here! He took his eyes off the blade for a split-second, just long enough to see a familiar figure framed in the doorway. It was all the time Seletine needed. Peter saw the strike coming, knowing he was powerless to stop it. The blade found him, sliding into his unprotected flesh. He stepped back from the force of the thrust, staggering and falling backward into the whirling maelstrom as the blade was yanked from his body. |

As older Chicago Station zines go out of print, we'll be posting them as web pages--not quite as good as holding a zine in your hands, but better than losing it entirely--especially the older "classic" stories. This will be an ongoing process which has just begun. But in the meantime, enjoy these zines and stories.
Child of the Moving Tide A cycle of twenty stories which deal with young Peter Caine, from his days in the orphanage through his years with the Blaisdells. Written by Jeanne DeVore and Signe Hovde.
The Promise and Sole Surviving Son. Originally appearing in Deb Walsh's "Sound of the Flute", these are two linked stories, alternate to "Retribution", which deal with Blaisdell's death. Written by Jeanne DeVore. Kleenex warning.
Original scripts from the series have been gathered together in one place, and made available to everyone who wants to read them. Many of these scripts have been donated to the fans by the cast and crew of KF:TLC, usually on behalf of various charitable causes. The fans, in turn, have donated them to the Script Collection. The Collection was started as a way to continue this generosity--proceeds from the Collection are donated to the American Cancer Society in memory of Robert Lansing. Since the Collection's inception in October of 1996, we have raised over $4,200 for cancer research.
Over 140 scripts from all 88 episodes are available, including multiple versions of several episodes, and early drafts of others. Additionally, some scripts have supplemental pages--filming schedules, location grids, call sheets, etc.--fascinating glimpses of what goes into making a TV show.
The Script Collection is also proud to be the exclusive distributor of "Dreamscape", Executive Producer Michael Sloan's first draft script for a proposed KF:TLC "reunion" movie.

Orders for zines are generally sent the week after they're received, but to be on the safe side, allow 2-4 weeks. Orders for scripts generally take 4-6 weeks from the date of receipt. If you feel it's been a long time since your order without hearing from me, please contact me--your order may have gotten lost in the "shuffle" (either the USPO's, or ours).
To order anything listed, print out the order form and mail it with your check.
Postage rates are generally very straightforward: $4 for the first item to US addresses, $1 for each additional item. Scripts have their own postage requirements (see the Script Collection page).
Canadians, add $1US to the cost of the postage.
Overseas, if you're ordering zines or scripts, we can possibly use "Global Priority" mail, which is cheaper and frequently faster than conventional airmail. E-mail me with your proposed order and I can give you a postage price for airmail. Or you can visit the US Postal Service for the latest on postage rates.
If you have any questions, please contact us, either via conventional mail or e-mail me.
