Agent G: Infiltrator excerpt

Here's a sample chapter from my recently released book:



I was sitting in the driver’s seat of a 2017 Mercedes Benz S-Klasse, staring at a handheld computer screen tapped into the security feed of the Everhope Hotel. It was a cold Chicago night and the tomb-like atmosphere of the parking garage didn’t help. Still, it was appropriate for my job: to kill very rich and powerful people for money.

The target, Marshall Redmond, was fifty-two, possessed a net worth of sixty hundre...<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]></div>

Agent G now available on Kindle, audiobook, and in paperback format

 I'm pleased to say AGENT G is now available in the three formats which I intend to release it. The science fiction thriller is a work which I'm very proud of and I hope will be the first of several books chronicling the cyberpunk adventures of my transhuman assassin.

“Black Technology has made murder a billion dollar industry.”

The International Refugee Society has twenty-six cybernetically enhanced “Letters,” and for the right price, they’ll eliminate anyone. They’ve given up their famil...

New cover for Lucifer's Star in the works

 Hey folks,

I absolutely love my book Lucifer's Star with Michael Suttkus but the cover never quite sat right with me, so I've commissioned a new cover for the book's release in paperback and audiobook form. I hope people will enjoy the colonized form. Special thanks to Alex Raspad for coming up with this one.

Certainly, I have.

Mass Effect: Andromeda review

    Well, that was definitely a Mass Effect game.

    That's probably the best way to describe my experience with Andromeda, which is a game that I had mixed feelings going into. Like many fans of the series, I felt burned by the ending of Mass Effect 3. I wasn't one of the people who believed it was worth naming EA one of the worst companies in the world and it didn't kill my children or anything but it felt dissonant to have an uncertain ending when I'd put lite...

Agent G paperback released and The Science of Supervillainy pre-order available!

Hey folks,

I'm pleased to say AGENT G: INFILTRATOR is now available in paperback format and the ebook as well as audiobook version (narrated by Jeffrey Kafer) will be released on April 1st, 2017. I really love the cover to this book and everyone who has purchased a copy is enjoying the book so far. It's my hope Agent G will be one of my two on-going series along with the Supervillainy Saga.

Star Wars: Aftermath: Empire's End by Chuck Wendig review

    Chuck Wendig had a pretty hard road ahead of him when he took upon the Aftermath trilogy as he, essentially, had to replace the entire Star Wars Legends Expanded Universe by creating a history that replaced the 100+ books which chronicled the period from the Battle of Endor to when the Empire finally surrendered in Timothy Zahn's Visions of the Future.

    Wendig's task was somewhat mitigated by the fact that instead of a twenty-year guerilla war by the Empire...

Resident Evil 5 review

    I actually completed Resident Evil 5 a while back and got caught up advertising my upcoming books (AGENT G: INFILTRATOR, THE SCIENCE OF SUPERVILLAINY) so I didn't get a chance to do up my review. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm basically going through all of the titles available on Xbox one-by-one and seeing how I enjoy them. I'm either going to play Resident Evil 6 or the original with Resident Evil 0 next, depending on what my mood is.

    Resident Evil 5 i...

Assassins Creed (2016 movie) review

    Assassin's Creed is a series I have great fondness for. I love conspiracy theories and alternate history, which is what the franchise survives on. I love the idea of an Atlantis-like precursor culture that created humanity via genetic engineering, only to be overthrown by their slaves until a natural disaster wiped them out. I love the millennium-long war between the Knights Templar and the Assassins which predates the actual orders in history. I also love Michael Fassbende...

AGENT G: INFILTRATOR is available for Pre-Order!

 
    Hello my wonderful fans,

    I have great news that my science fiction assassin series, AGENT G, is now available for Pre-Order from Amazon.com. We've got a lot of faith in this story and we'll be doing a simultaneous release on Audible, Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback form for those who want to check it out. Jeffrey Kafer will, once more, be doing the voice work for my series and I can tell you it's probably his best work yet.

Deus Ex: A Criminal Past review

    This is going to be a bittersweet review since A Criminal Past is probably going to be the last Deus Ex game in this continuity and almost certainly the last game starring Adam Jensen. For those of us who were hoping for a third game as an appropriate send off to the second most famous cyborg from Detroit, A Criminal Past is a disappointment but it's still a solid game addition worth playing.

    Those who wanted a resolution to all of the outstanding Deus Ex...
