Fate is a harsh mistress, and she had Pete Bedauern’s number. Marooned in the desolation of a decrepit trailer park, his life a monotonous echo of neglect under the care of a narcissistic single mother, his future looked so dark, he couldn’t wear shades. But the explosive arrival of Uncle Si, a figure as enigmatic as he is transformative, knocked Fate senseless and rewrote Pete’s future.

Now, Pete is going to need shades.

Uncle Si, marked by life’s brutal trials with scars both visible and hidden, is a force to be reckoned with. He is unapologetically raw–a man who’s tasted life’s extremes, from the depths of despair to the euphoric rush of beating the odds, and escaping Fate’s machinations to fight another day. Beneath his gruff exterior and shrouded past, he harbors a profound interest in Pete, offering the paternal attention Pete has long been lacking. Through Uncle Si’s guidance, Pete embarks on a profound masterclass on life, love, and full-contact sports.

But Uncle Si is more than just a mentor with worldly possessions and wisdom. He guards a preposterous secret: his clandestine outlaw empire across time and space. Pete steps into the realm of the impossible, catapulted into a time-traveling odyssey toward much more than just manhood. As Pete navigates a labyrinth of alternate realities, he will unravel history’s hidden truths, confront a sinister pan-continuum conspiracy, vie for a world championship, decipher the elusive art of success with women, and even save the world.

Well, one world, maybe…

THE WAR IS OVER, BUT THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES!

The end of World War II brought with it a renewed chance for peace, hope, and prosperity to the strife-ridden nations across the globe, but for some people treachery, intrigue, and conflict was in their blood…whether they liked it or not.

You’re enlisted to join forces with six stalwart pulp writers as they march into occupied territory in post-war Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Axis Powers have been vanquished, though in some camps the news either falls on deaf ears, or is a signal to work even harder to bring about the downfall of freedom-loving people everywhere.

OCCUPIED PULP offers all the two-fisted, slam-bang action and adventure that are hallmarks of the pulp tradition. Along the way, you’ll encounter fascinating heroes and villains who wage a mighty struggle to either protect the fragile peace or set the wheels of conflict and destruction back in motion.

Stay vigilant! Some enemies have not yet laid down their arms!

Featuring stories by Will (DOC SAVAGE) Murray, William Patrick (FU MANCHU)Maynard, Patricia (HANNARIA) Gilliam, Bobby (SNOW) Nash, Justin (STORM’S FURY) Bell, and John C. (MIDNIGHT GUARDIAN) Bruening.

From Hugo award-winning, and New York Times bestselling co-author of the Expanse, Daniel Abraham, Age of Ash is the first book in an epic fantasy trilogy that unfolds within the walls of a single great city where every story matters —and the fate of the city is woven from them all.

“An atmospheric and fascinating tapestry, woven with skill and patience.” – Joe Abercrombie, New York Times bestselling author of A Little Hatred

Kithamar is a center of trade and wealth, an ancient city with a long, bloody history where countless thousands live and their stories unfold.

This is Alys’s.

When her brother is murdered, a petty thief from the slums of Longhill sets out to discover who killed him and why.  But the more she discovers about him, the more she learns about herself, and the truths she finds are more dangerous than knives.

Swept up in an intrigue as deep as the roots of Kithamar, where the secrets of the lowest born can sometimes topple thrones, the story Alys chooses will have the power to change everything.

“An outstanding series debut, which instantly hooks readers with Paul mysteries . . . Readers will eagerly anticipate the sequel.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review)
