Ascension (Originally Published 2018)
Blurb: The world is a much different place in 2045. Nuclear war has taken a toll on the world. The National Regulatory Commission maintains what little order there is. And only fragments of the old world remain. Many have turned to religious fanaticism for hope. Step into the shoes of NRC Officer David Henry, a nature enthusiast in this wasteland. His mission: Stop the Cult of the All-seeing eye. Have fun.
X-O Manowar – A Man of Death (Originally published 2015)
Blurb: “You never stop fighting, Aric. That is your gift. I have only one fight left to give. Goodbye, old friend.”
-Gafti to Aric before his death, A.D. 2012
Life can be tough. One moment, you’re dying over the Earth’s atmosphere in an attempt to save mankind from an alien invasion, the next your body is being regrown halfway across the galaxy in a Vespitude lab.
Such is the case of Gafti, former accessory to Aric; the first human pilot of the X-O Manowar armor, and the only one to wear it for more than fifteen minutes. Gafti himself has been fitted with armor of his own: a rarely psychotic but very judgmental suit by the name of Zezzuba.
His savior: Watcher, a Vespitude who wants to watch the Purist regime burn, and will go to any lengths to make it happen.
On the line is a ticket back home to Aric and all who Gafti has ever held dear.
