"Epic, violent, grimy, electrifying...Kemp's style is polished to a gleaming and evocative standard. Gorgeous writing." - SPR
For Jack Booker, an orphan from the cutthroat streets of Victorian, life is about survival. The squabbles of the imperial aristocracy are of no importance to him; neither does he concern himself with the machinations of the empire's gods, the Primals, who rule humanity with indifferent disdain. Power plots among the mighty mean little in the grungy alleys of the undercity, where only one rule truly matters: Only the strong survive.
This struggle becomes even more deadly when Fist, a mob boss with delusions of grandeur, embroils his gang in a game far above their league. Soon, Jack finds himself thrust into a web of intrigue, subterfuge, and rebellion when he encounters the enigmatic Freedom, a revolutionary with an uncompromising vision for the future and a deep hatred for the Primal Empire. Forces beyond Jack's comprehension command subjects like pieces on a chessboard - and, somehow, he may have just become the most important pawn...

Fusion
The story of a guy with extraordinary abilities and extraordinary problems. He meets friends, enemies, and loses a bit of each. I enjoy writing and drawing comic books and making my own heroes and villains and I wanted to see how turning my favorite hero into a book would turn out. Feel free to give feedback, it always helps. Jack Carter is your semi-average guy. Sixteen, 5' 11, charcoal black hair, and a slight muscle build. The rich popular kid that everyone adores. Until his life takes a turn for the better and worse. Sure, the move was bad. A whole new city across the country. The Big freakin' Apple. Then there was the fact that he had to leave all his friends and make new ones. Double bummer. But juggling his new abilities and super villains? Now there's the ride of a lifetime.Complete

Forrest and Sujay: On Top of Your Mom! (Horsemen Origins Book 2)
Two jokester smugglers escape the clutch of a mob boss only to crash on a world under siege. Can they find the courage to join the resistance and break the blockade? Jack Forrest is a reckless fighter pilot who's too focused on making 'your mom' jokes. Sujay Malak is a brilliant but cowardly astro-navigator. The two men are the galaxy's most renowned 'blockade runners,' smugglers who're capable of outrunning any Core fleet. The dynamic duo are being hunted by the nefarious mobster Kingsman for their outstanding debts, but due to a tip, the two men race off to the peaceful world Alcyone. When they arrive, Alcyone is not as it seems. Normally a sanctuary for pacifists and pristine beauty, the planet is being held under siege. Forrest and Sujay are attacked by a fleet of Core fighters and while they manage to escape, they crash land deep in the frozen north. They're rescued by the leader of the resistance, a fellow smuggler named Tim Riley. Riley implores the two to join in his cause, promising them riches beyond their wildest dreams, but there is something unsettling about the quiet paradise. The two men must discover the courage to stand up for the little guy...and that they may not get rich in the process. This fast-paced, hilarious tale of misadventure was written in the spirit of Alexander Freed's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: Scoundrels.Complete
The Inception (Book #1 of The Inception Trilogy)
When the inevitable World War III broke out, no one expected it to last as long as it did. After two years, a meddling scientist decides he'd had enough of the destruction between and within countries. He sets his mind to a dark place where ruthless, indestructible soldiers are possible, and he makes his fantasy reality. For the first couple of months, it seems the experiments are acting respectively, and many of the fighting countries' disputes are solved merely because of their intimidating presence. But playing with the laws of nature is a dangerous game, and nearly always ends in defeat. When the experiments steadily grow independent and realize the power they have, controlling them is out of the question. And now they're running rampant in the streets, lurking around every corner, hiding in every shadow. Humans are untrustworthy of each other, sticking to the rule of every man for themselves, which doesn't at all help the chaotic world they now live in. Evelyn Baxter believes in having your own back; that is, until she meets one of the experiments not quite like the others. -- cover credit: me (manip credit: hazstylestrash on instagram) -- -- trailer credit: brookieismyname -- -- started: January 31, 2016 -- -- finished: May 17, 2016 -- All Rights Reserved © 1DLover121Complete
