Ari lives in the shadow of death.

Ari is a combat veteran who has chosen to leave the military behind and live a quiet, normal life. He’s got a few problems though. For one thing, the cops think he’s a serial killer. For another, a vengeful politician has put Ari in his crosshairs. To make matters worse, Ari has a guardian angel… and not just any angel, Ari’s protector is the Angel of Death. When his life is in danger, people start to die, and Ari’s guardian can sometimes be indiscriminate whose life he takes when protecting him.

That’s not even the worst problem. Death wasn’t assigned to him by mistake. An ancient werewolf wants Ari dead and even with death on his side, Ari might not survive.

Ari needs to find a way to stay alive, to clear his name, and most importantly to get out from under the shadow of death and live a normal life… even if it kills him.

IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF ADVENTURE… Dodge Dalton’s stories about the adventures of Captain Zane Falcon have made both the author, and his iconic protagonist, famous. Maybe a little too famous. When a diabolical villain, wielding a fantastic power unearthed in the ruins of a forgotten civilization, kidnaps the president, he has only one demand…a fight with America’s greatest hero.

There’s just one problem: Falcon doesn’t exist. Or does he? In order to save America, Dodge must embark on a journey to the ends of the earth to find Captain Falcon, and along the way will discover the hero within himself.

“High flying adventure at its best. Cleverly conceived, original, and multi-layered, the action literally jumps off the page and takes the reader through unexpected twists and turns.” Rob MacGregor, author of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

A virtual-reality novel from a time before virtual reality, Simulacron-3 is a prophetic tale of a future where nothing is as it appears to be.

But is it a simulated disappearance, or is someone out to get them all? And what is the true nature of reality?

Stories based on Simulacron-3 have been adapted for both television and movies, and the book is considered a favorite of many of the masters of science fiction.

The day after The Flux hit, Jase Holland was still alive…and immune. The world was not as fortunate. The Flux was a genetic plague—possibly leaked from a biowarfare lab—and it played havoc with the DNA of everything living, mutating genes and creating strange new sentient beasts both beautiful and monstrous.

Rushing home to search for Jenn, his pregnant fiancé, Jase encountered what appeared to be demons intent on destroying the remnants of humanity. Calling them the Vile, he wondered if something other than humanity’s hubris and irresponsibility had triggered The Flux. Evil forces were on the march and Jenn was nowhere to be found.

Fleeing to Louisiana, Jase joined a group of other Immunes for safety and survival. But he never gave up his search for Jenn and their child. It’s been fifteen years since the plague struck, and it’s time to move on. There’s only one problem. The Vile have discovered their hidden sanctuary. And the stakes are life and death.

Although humans are no longer the only sentient species on earth, they may be the first to go extinct.
