Dissonance Volume II: Reckoning

Dissonance Volume II: Reckoning

Bestselling author Aaron Ryan continues the epic journey begun in Volume I in an increasingly tense post-apocalyptic landscape, set amidst a gritty, attainable future Earth in this alien invasion thriller series.

Sergeant Cameron “Jet” Shipley lost everyone to the gorgons and has lost faith in the integrity of his own Command. But Cameron’s loss didn’t stop there. In a world rife with apocalyptic danger, it has become painfully apparent that humanity is still, even in the very throes of annihilation, at war with itself.

Finding himself a prisoner and eventual outlaw at the hands of those whom he once trusted most, Cameron must put his fate in the hands of his trusted confidants Lieutenant Allison Trudy, Private Liam “Fox” Mayfield, and Sergeant Joseph Bassett once more, endangering their very lives and freedom, as they and others come to his aid to join in the inevitable revolt against those in power who fail to see the truth: power corrupts, even on the very brink of extinction.

Shipley and his team must race against time to find compatriots who share their views, amassing support against the true foe. All the while, they must evade a merciless alien species that will not stop until the earth’s resources are drained dry, reducing it to a barren wasteland. In their quest for truth, they must remember one simple tenet as it pertains to the gorgons:

“One look, and it’s all over.”

This is not an Apocalypse


This is not an Apocalypse

Is the world ending? You wouldn’t be blamed for thinking so.

Monsters and magic have begun sweeping over the modern world. For many this means death and destruction, living in fear of the nightmarish creatures now haunting the wilderness.

For others it means adventure and glory, joining the Hunters Guild and becoming a famous monster slayer, dungeon delving and exploring magical anomalies.

For others still it means wealth and opportunity, harvesting the new rare and valuable resources the slain monsters and changing world provides before selling them on for a profit.

For those willing to take the risk, magic can be wielded and cultivated, used to perform incredible feats or terrible deeds in pursuit of fame, power and ideals.

Unfortunately for our main character Jack, embracing newfound power and going out to valiantly battle monsters and mutated animals isn’t quite as simple as most other people have it. He possesses the rare and not so sought after magical lightning element, considered the weakest element for certain reasons, he is pitied and looked down upon. But Jack is determined to become a successful monster hunter in an ever more dangerous world.

An urban/low fantasy story with cultivation, world building, progression elements and eventual dungeon delving . Book 1.

From $4.96 to $7.58 on Kindle.

Hart & Sol

Hart & Sol
A totally inappropriate sci-fi comedy from the twisted minds of Russell Emmerson and Matt J Pike.

It could be worse for Captain Sarah Hart as she leads a dysfunctional crew of mercs on a dead-end mission to escort the Milky Pleasure fantasy cruiser out of the solar system. Until, that is, an alien species unleashes hell on every human settlement from the earth to Saturn’s moons. Yep, that’s definitely worse.

The race is now on to get that cruise ship full of fleshy fantasy seekers out of the solar system before our species becomes a footnote in someone else’s history.

But facing an unknown enemy with vastly superior technology, superior officers stuck together with red tape, a ship full of ignorant, high and confused patrons and a battle crew carrying more baggage than the passengers, well, perhaps she could just get a drink instead.

Either way, it’s going to be a wild ride.

The Iron Fists


The Iron Fists

All Harley wants is to keep her sister safe and make enough money to move out from under the thumb of their sadistic landlady. It’s been two years since she escaped the influence of the local gangs, and the last thing she needs now is to attract their attention again.

But when a newcomer arrives in her small town on the edge of the wastelands, bringing dark secrets with him, Harley finds herself inexorably drawn back into the web of the Iron Fists. With the balance of power shifting in the town, and violence spilling over into the streets, Harley’s wits and cunning may not be enough to keep going as she has been. But who can she trust?

Ellery, the man who helped her escape the gangs the first time?

Or Bas, the enigmatic new member who seems to push all of her buttons?

And when push comes to shove, will either of them believe her? Or will they only see the same thing that everyone else sees a woman struggling to escape her past as an erotic dancer?

One thing is for sure; if she doesn’t take control of her own life, then someone else will do it for her. And Harley stands to lose something much more valuable than her life: her freedom.

The Slumville Bastard

The world no longer bleeds.

Set deep within the future of an anarchial America, the country has collapsed as man embraces a sudden and infinite reign of immortality. Waking one day to discover death no longer exists, humanity slowly descends into a pit of depravity and darkness upon realizing mankind is no longer afflicted by death. Crime rises. Nations disintegrate. Societies collapses. And people turn the long and wicked knife upon one another as the meaning behind their lives slowly evaporates, replaced by an eerie and sinister sensation to engage in nihilistic activities to attempt to find meaning in an otherwise empty world.

Witness to it all is an unidentifiable protagonist simply known as Marty, a battered and cynical narrator struggling to remain sane in a world defined by lunacy and madness. Trekking across the country while avoiding the homicidal violence of the world around him, Marty eventually settles in a dystopian city defined by hedonism and indulgence and controlled by the insidious urges of a ruler obsessed with denigrating the symbols of the past.

It is within the city where Marty observes the final confrontation of what it means to be human. Delusional and melancholic, happy and sad, a lunatic and a hopeless romantic, Marty descends within the darkness of the new age of humanity bearing the fire of good within him as he tries to salvage whatever light remains in the world.

The Slumville Bastard is a story of good and evil, destruction and restoration, while providing an interpretation of what it truly means to be evil. Twisted and wicked, violent, and depraved, the story asks what the meaning of death truly is, and the impact it would have on life should it be removed. $2.99 on Kindle
