"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." Raised from a young age under the pristine principles and orderly corridors of the Jedi Temple, Jungkook has always felt certain in his role in becoming an elite protector of the galaxy: a Jedi Knight. But after an unexpected revelation results in his dutiful master leaving him, Jungkook's sureness of his destiny falls into turmoil as he is plagued with questions regarding the sacral doctrines of the Republic and his role as a Jedi. Meanwhile, another young Force-Sensitive finds himself thrust unwittingly into the heart of the Jedi Republic. Torn from his family and thrown into the strict regimens of Jedi training, Taehyung struggles immensely to discover the meaning of his new design and the responsibilities that come with it. In the midst of the young Jedis' turbulent quests for self-discovery, a foreboding darkness grows slowly but surely in the far edges of the galaxy, threatening the Jedi Republic and all it stands for. As they brace themselves for what is to come, Jungkook and his fellow Jedi Knights are forced to face their most sinister fears and illicit desires in an epic struggle to determine duty from passion, reason from emotion, and ultimately, good from evil. Along the way, they begin to see that perhaps not everything light is good, nor is everything dark necessarily evil. Fated to walk a path plagued with darkness, each Jedi must find their way out or else be consumed by the chaos deep inside them... Cover art by @hclandsteiner

The Central Powers control most of Europe, with only a thin stretch of French coastline still in Allied hands. A beleaguered Britain fights resolutely on, but everyone knows that without the continued support of the United States it would fall within weeks. Then the German invent corpse gas, bringing the dead back to the life on the battlefield, and the Great War becomes the Great Undead War with mankind now fighting for his very survival... (A prequel story to the Great Undead War series by Joseph Nassise)

The Magnetron Chronicles, Volume 1 Phineas Magnetron is an eccentric Nineteenth Century inventor blessed with a strange gift he doesn't completely understand. As a former soldier and current member of the Hogalum Society, an inscrutable secret organization of crime fighting adventurers, Phineas is no stranger to peril and derring-do. But when the Society founder dies, Phineas embarks on a daring and improbable caper to bring the good doctor's greatest dream to fruition posthumously. In the process, he not only horrifies his Society brothers, but unearths a haunting and compelling mystery. About The Magnetron Chronicles: The Magnetron Chronicles is a serialized steampunk tale told in the grandiose style of Jules Verne, but with satirical Twainian wit. Chapter by chapter, the story builds as quirky new characters join the fray and perplexing new mysteries and situations arise. Traveling the globe, Phineas Magnetron and his Hogalum Society encounter suspicious policemen, mentally ill criminals, wood-craving aliens, a witch doctor, a mad oracle, and a cross-dressing female matador, among many others. However, this "steam dream team" always manages to triumph over impossible odds and improbable obstacles as they preserve order in a disorderly world.
