Panteria
Chronicles: Damned
by L.B. Sisk
“Protect the Innocent and be the Blade
of Justice.” - the Executioners’ motto
Jim St. John is concerned with becoming
too visible, too soon. His Executioners
have shed blood to become an
ever-increasing force against “scum and
villainy”— their name, a terrifying
whisper for those who think themselves
above the law, a force of light for
those crushed by such ne’er-do-wells ...
and the law itself. In light of this,
the Executioners are quickly pulled into
a malicious war with the manufacturer of
a new and powerful “recreational” drug.
But has this unseasoned group of
vigilantes bitten off too much, too
soon? After all, this new drug czar
reigns with unlimited funds, an army of
mercenaries, and an arsenal of illegal
weaponry ... and, apparently, isn’t
afraid to use them.
Damned, the second volume in the
Panteria Chronicles. Join the ride.
Heads are about to roll...

The Violet
Catastrophe
by Will Schmitz
Luke Wentworth is a private dick with
enough bad habits to keep him stuck to
the underbelly of Los Angeles till the
trumpets call him home. Maybe sleuthing
is a way to serve the greater good, but
probably it’s just another way to pay
off debts and get a little action to
boot.
Tracking the missing daughter of a local
big-shot requires a certain amount of
tact that our Wentworth just doesn’t
have time for. Things will go wrong.
People will get hurt. Cats better scat
or they’ll wind up going splat.
Luke is on the job, but the job keeps
getting bigger and badder.

Panteria Chronicles: Fallen
by L.B. Sisk
After
being ravaged by famine, genocide and
400 years of war, an ancient city-state
known as Panteria has united the planet
bringing peace for most, and unrest for
others.
Nearing
the end of thirtieth century, an
unparalleled killer in the Army of
Mutants escapes the brutality and seeks
a life of peace. Jim St.
John--recruited, trained and enhanced by
the government as a boy to be the
ultimate soldier--vows to stop the
bloodshed, unearthing a civilization
buried by catastrophe for over 800
years. Under
St. John’s
command, the ultra-soldiers of
Crystal
Mountain must rise above the surface
to exact violent justice on those who
threaten the nascent liberty. But
nothing worth dying for comes easy.
Steel yourself for the first volume of
the Panteria Chronicles ... Fallen.

Planets Above &
Below: Grues & Kirns
by Will Schmitz
Bomby would rather
spend the day lounging amongst the
branches of his favorite lant tree, but
being a servant of the Grues has its
responsibilities, and all of them are
boring. Too bad he didn’t see the great
fireball falling from the heavens. He
would have had a great story to tell,
but it probably wouldn’t have made much
difference since the Grues never listen
to him anyways.
Generations of
venerated leaders have led the planet’s
inhabitants though interminable war
guided by a philosophy of blood and
stone, but in a society where the wheel
is little more than a curiosity, weapons
forged of metals emerge as the heart of
a nascent technology. When a pirated
starship of immense capability is
haplessly marooned amongst the
population of fierce idol-worshippers,
the malevolent tide of evolution
threatens to wash clean the slate of
planetary sovereignty.
If Bomby could have
just stayed up in his favorite tree ...

Bots, Come!
by Will Schmitz
Bots are everywhere, so you’d best get
used to them.
They have permeated the
farthest extents, constructing your
future and recreating the past,
performing tasks of complexity with a
precision and elegance that no “bio” can
hope to match. Special talents? Not like
them. High IQ? That’s what you
think. Sex machine? Ha! They croon like
nobody’s business and get your dishes
sparkling clean. Inexhaustible,
indestructible, biocompatible—and the
latest models are 100% submersible.
Affordable? You bet. It’ll practically
pay for itself in less than three
cycles.
Get yours today! (And pray it
isn’t defective.)
A frenetic romp through the lives of
future “bots” and the "bios" lucky
enough to find their place in a universe
where the artificially inclined are the
masters of acting natural. Will Schmitz
has fused together a collection of
smart, funny and utterly disturbing
vignettes of future "life" written in a
fast-paced, abbreviated style that will
keep the pages turning until it's far
too late to pull the plug.
