After the recent downpour, a young girl ventures outside and unknowingly finds an ancient set of bones with a certain demonic origin.

I set out the book a little bit differently; there aren't chapters, I called them 'parts', as I felt it would be more fitting to such short scenes I've decided to write. 2. The 'parts' are just to help distinguish different chunks/scenes. ♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒ ❖ Reader discretion advised: religious involvements ❖ ♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒

Science of the west. Martial arts of the east. And aliens from above. What if there was something that tied in all three? This is a follow up novella to the short story, Remember. (Which means, in case you haven't read that yet, it would make a lot more sense if you read that first. ^_^)

In the year 2103 Earth is in a state of constant war. Huge nations vie for power and control of the planets slowly dwindling resources. In the midst of the chaos a series of seemingly separate terrorist attacks begin to occur across Europe and it seems that the worlds biggest company, Frontier Engineering, is at least partially to blame. One disgraced Major takes it upon himself to get to the bottom of it and solve the problem, whatever the cost.

A violent, epic, action-packed urban quest full of very eccentric, often hilarious, extremely dangerous characters who also happen to be animals - the wildlife of New York City, to be exact. Reviews 'Artfully imagined and constructed ... Through the eyes and hearts of Evans's furry characters, Beasts of New York gets at a lot of complex stuff: issues of identity, specifically nature versus nurture, are explored without being heavy-handed, and the real-life distances between bravery and cowardice, loyalty and disloyalty, hope and despair are often revealed to be just a hair's breadth apart.' (Julie Eakin, ForeWord Magazine) 'EPIC! 'Beasts of New York is about a squirrel named Patch who, out of desperation and need, adventures beyond his home in Central Kingdom to try and save it. While it seems that fate is conspiring against him, taking him further from his home than any squirrel has traveled, his journey is a necessary step to saving all of Central Kingdom from the evil trying to consume it.... 'This book reads like a fantasy novel, even though it is set in New York City. The horrors that Patch encounters at times seemed so unreal to me, despite knowing where they were. Seeing them from another pair of eyes gave some things a new air of terror and others one of wonder. 'This is not a light novel. It is very dark, and at times absolutely horrifying, but I connected so much to Patch as a hero that, in the end, I was left with tears of relief and happiness in my eyes.'
