A sociopathic mastermind, whose clandestine business empire is as powerful as many nations, is moving towards an attack that will change world history. He controls companies, countries and, most deadly of all, very powerful people.

Ranged against him is an unlikely coalition of forces – the most powerful of them may be the men with innocent blood on their hands.	

This tale of revenge and redemption starts with a murder in Vietnam and continues with a trail of destruction, violence and death around the world.

In a roller coaster ride of tension, award winning writer, Steven M Homer, introduces us to a powerful personification of evil … and the men who decide to go up against him.

                                                                  *      *      *     *

This book is the first in a trilogy of novels that I hope will appeal to readers of Robert Ludlum, John Grisham, Brad Meltzer, Vince Flynn,Tom Clancy et al. 

I have already written over 100,000 words (over 300 pages) of the first novel and second novels. I am publishing in parts to help me lock down the plot There may be back edits (plot changes to early parts of the book). If you want to help me by reading these early stages that will be great. I promise to reward your loyalty by letting you know of any changes that occur. 

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN ADULT THRILLER. Some scenes will be uncomfortable to read.

PLEASE ONLY SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS AT THE MOMENT – I look forward to useful criticism later :-)

Please check out the website www.StandingAgaianstTheStorm.com (in a couple of days) for more details of how this process will evolve and to find out the PROVISIONAL titles of the upcoming book.

THIS BOOK IS BEING RE-WRITTEN AND IS NO LONGER CANON IN THE SERIES. ‼️PLEASE READ SAFE FROM HARM ‼️ ====== S.A.F.E. : Secure And Friendly Environment. A land within the world as you know it. They share the same borders, but their entire civilization is under a cloak from the human eye. Here, when you are born you are given a Unique Trait that fits within one of 5 categories: Strengthen, Manipulation, Conjuring/Teleportation, Beast and Specialist. Of these categories there are one group of exceptions: The Continental Beasts. Most are revered as powerful mystic beings and carry themselves as such... and others, well... Karter Comète is fresh out of Grad School and ready to shake the world of Theatre & Dance. He is a dancer at heart, but his eye for lighting drew him behind the stage instead of on it. Whilst working on a show, he decides to take one night to himself and his best friend to try out this new club called Boundaries. His face is well known, being one of the Seven Continental Beasts; but a certain man with long, dark hair and bright, stone cold eyes seems to look through him; and sees the man instead of the beast. Akecheta-Klaus "A.K." König is a man who decided to forge his own path. He went to college for Theater, drawn to the set design and directing aspect of it, but he went to Grad School for Business. With two degrees tucked tightly to his belt, he's a man with many choices laid out for him: work in Theater, or work in the family business. He decides to do both, but not quite for the family. In his club, Boundaries, he can control the very air people breathe similar to the Directing he's fond of; but one night a familiar face stumbles in and takes that air right out of his lungs. A.K., a man who loves games and playing his way. Karter, a man who loves his freedom and has a passion for the arts. See what happens when two headstrong men get put on the same project, and play a certain game.

Jesus Christ, she is losing too much blood. We are losing her and the baby... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My eyes continued to open and close as the doctor tried everything in his power to resuscitate me. I continued to stare at the hospital lights which flashed in my eyes. See I never thought I would fall for him. I never thought I would be here fighting for my life and I never thought I would lose my child. He was the last person I saw before taking what appeared to be my last and final moments. I never thought I would have to pick between fame- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Suddenly he stopped moving when he heard what appeared to be footsteps following his last and final movement. In his last moments, he thought about me. I was his first true love. As he turned around he watched as the gun was aimed directly at his head. The man who stood before him didn't appear like any ordinary man. He gave him a sinister smile as he continued to look him straight in his eyes. Who are you he asked the person? Karma he replied. This is for what you did to them because of you he might not even survive. This is for picking love over--- The person's eyes widened as he prepared himself to eject each clip into his target's head. Within a couple of minutes, the gun went off. Blood splattered everywhere. All that remained was the victim's body with a gunshot wound to the head. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gifted: Or love but wait let's go back to when it all started... This is my written testimony to: --------- FA M E OR LOVE ----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning ⚠️ : The storyline was geared towards a mature audience and concentrates on diversity and real-life issues that people endure while pursuing fame and love...

Rebecca's light bulb has been flickering on and off for precisely seventeen years. The constant rotation of cocktail parties and questioning every human in her path is annihilating. And if there is one person who she believes to be the cause of weakening her even when she left her previous life behind, it is Dallas Winston. He has every terrible trait bestowed in him. He never takes the burden of morality, he only dodges it until he is the embodiment of terror. It is too easy to despise him. For who truly doesn't? But little do they know that they are far more similar than they would like to think. And whether they would prefer to admit it or not (they most indefinitely do not, for they are stubborn as hell), he was meant to be hers, and she was meant to be his. Disclaimers: *there will be talk of sexual assault, acts of violence, racism, sexuality, classism, etc. So if you're not comfortable with any of those things don't read! I really want this book to be realistic to the time period and bring to light how people were treated but if I miss anything important please let me know!
