So what do you think of this new description for Hercules Gone Mad that I’ve been working steadfastly on?

And by steadfastly I mean at least up until this damn Spring cold hit me…nothing worse than being sick when the weather has finally turned nice.


Speaking of which, I will post my Short Story selection later this evening. Thank you all for your patience and understanding and, especially, for your kind well wishes.


So, about this new HGM description…it’s been long overdue. The last one (first one) was rather bare-boned and relied more on its association with the Heroes of Dystopia intro than on any meaningful information.


So, I decided to put some meat on its bones, so to speak. Check it out below and let me know what you think in the comment section please.


Oh yeah, before we get to the description…


I don’t know if you’re familiar with Wattpad but I recently joined and find that it’s a pretty cool and handy site/app. Go Canada! I just put up the entire Part One of Hercules Gone Mad there and I will be posting new chapters to Part Two as I write them. So do me a favor and check it out and whatnot. Heck, it is free after all. You can read, vote, comment, and follow by clicking here.


Without any further ado, here’s the new description…



Hercules Gone Mad


The man they call Hercules, a handle bestowed upon him while an elite warrior in the former military of the former leading World Power, struggles to maintain his sanity in a world no longer known to him, a world no longer known to anyone who has managed to survive the brutal collapse of its established order, or who is so unfortunate as to be immune to the bloody disease that has decimated the global population, or who has been captured, caged, and commoditized within a system formerly known as slavery but now is known as the market of human capital.


However, it is not the insanity that has befallen the ruined world that is tormenting and degrading the former warrior’s mind – what is eating at his sanity is the suffering from the disgrace that has befallen him. For it is his belief that he has committed the most heinous act a military man of honor and integrity could possibly commit. And it is this belief that is driving him completely mad.


As he struggles to survive the madness, Hercules must maneuver through all the evil raging around him, evil stoked by the continuing battle between the neo-collectivist revolutionaries committed to global utopia and the outlawed capitalist rebels committed to restoring a new version of the old order. As the war between the two political foes rage on, the De Borja Cartel, led by a zealot drug lord known as The Pope, seeks to leverage the chaos and extend its own corrupt domain northward.


All the while, Santa Muerte, threatened by one powerful man’s proximity to the technological attainment of a god-like immortality, mobilizes to purge the earth of its remaining living souls once and for all so that she, at last, may attain her divine ascension.


And yet nothing is as it seems…
