Darkness - After the Fall: Dark Fantasy in a Dystopian Future

 

Darkness - After the Fall:

Dark Fantasy in a Dystopian Future

Embla, second planet from the Sun. A planet where dusk till dawn takes 56 days. City Six, with its 230 million inhabitants, is a city dominated by the Dark mage guilds because light cannot penetrate the depths of a city the height of a mountain. In a city with no laws, a conflict is brewing.

A battle mage retires to a life of asceticism and research, searching for answers in the Darkness. A young Dark mage comes in to her power. A Light mage team journeys from their stronghold by the sun to spy upon the Dark mages. A young pilot ekes out a living on the fringes of interstellar transport. A Life mage searches for a key to power. Together their lives head towards an inexorable crescendo, as the powers of Dark and Light grapple for control of the system. The debut novel in the series "After the Fall" has a diverse cast of protagonists and antagonists, often without clear delineations between the two camps. It's queer, it's brutal, at times sexual, and we'd like to imagine that you'll find it thoughtful. Backgrounds and perspectives span the full spectrum of the rainbow, but it's not a bright and light take on the future. We hope you'll feel both joy and sorrow reading it.

Soul on Fire: A Guy Castle Psychological Thriller

Soul on Fire:

A Guy Castle Psychological Thriller

Guy Castle is a man who’s had enough. Once a highly skilled commando and covert intelligence operative, he’s left that life behind---worn out, burned out, and haunted by ghosts that won’t stay buried. After years of dangerous missions and countless brushes with death, Guy wants nothing more than to live in solitude, far away from the violence and betrayal that have defined his past. But the past doesn’t stay quiet for long. When a cryptic message arrives, dragging him back into a shadowy world he thought he'd escaped, Guy is forced to dust off his old skills and play a deadly game against forces that want him eliminated. Thrust into a high-stakes conspiracy where no one can be trusted and every move could be his last, Guy must navigate a maze of ruthless enemies and dangerous secrets—while grappling with his own inner demons. The deeper he’s pulled into this dark web, the more his old instincts resurface, pushing him to confront the trauma and regrets he’s tried to bury. As new enemies close in and long-buried secrets come to light, Guy must fight not only for survival but for redemption. But with the line between friend and foe blurred, he’ll have to decide how far he’s willing to go—and what he’s willing to sacrifice—to make it out alive. This is a story of grit, vengeance, and the relentless fight for freedom, filled with heart-stopping twists, visceral action, dark humor and moments of unexpected humanity. For Guy Castle, every victory comes at a price, and in the end, it may cost him everything. Strap in for a pulse-pounding thrill ride where the stakes are life and death, and every page ignites the fire in your soul. Experience the adrenaline, the danger, and the highs and lows that only come when your… Soul is on Fire.

Just Only Slightly

 

Just Only Slightly 

In this fictional comedy, the author paints a vivid picture of the humdrum life of main character, Paul Talkachev, a down-on-his luck guy living in New Jersey who discovers he is telekinetic. He can move and change objects without touching them and this is just the beginning as Paul sets out on a path of discovery and adventure. Landon’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s new book buying website: https://t16books.com/.

“I set out to create a fun, voyeuristic story about Paul’s life with its blunders, adventures, small successes, and friendships,” said Landon, who served in the U.S. Navy and has been a day trader, merchant mariner, locksmith and writer. “This story is a dark comedy banking on nervous energy amply supplied by Paul and the interactions of a man slowly dripping into madness trying to negotiate other people’s feelings and desires.”

A colorful cast of characters surround main character Paul. Lurch and Stephens, wealthy eccentrics, are on an all-out search for other “Exceptionals” with powers to join forces and conquer the world. O’kiki, another quirky “Exceptional,” enters the picture early on, and she becomes Paul’s partner as they attempt to fight crime, pull off a robbery, and find ways to use their power for good.

“P.B.’s story is such a fun and entertaining read,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “His main character, Paul, will make you laugh and cry all at the same time. Paul is so easy to relate to, and the story is a great escape from the everyday routine into a world of fantasy and mayhem!”

Landon lives in New Jersey and greatly enjoys telling stories about everyday occurrences that put his audience at the scene. His second book in the series is in the works and will be published soon as well.
