When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together that seemed impossible just days before. With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead. He runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but she’s, in fact, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Tales of Capes and Cowls is a wonderful collection of nine short stories, novelettes, and a novella about the text-based adventures of superheroes. However, there’s still a dearth of fantastic superhero literature out there. Superheroes have conquered movies, television, video games, and (of course) the comic book. Candido, Michael Suttkus, David Niall Wilson, and Matthew Davenport. It is a wonderful anthology containing numerous superhero stories by such awesome authors as myself, Keith R.A. That’s not the only good news, however, because we also have TALES OF CAPES AND COWLS available for Kindle. Will Vance somehow stumble his way into saving the universe again or will his luck finally run out? Ones that threaten everyone and everything in the galaxy. However, no sooner does he do so that he discovers that a malevolent AI and even more powerful forces are at work. Offered a chance to go after a sinister crime syndicate at a peace treaty in Notha Space, he jumps at the chance. “These are the voyages of the starship…something-something.”Ĭaptain Vance Turbo has been struggling for the past few years, his reputation in tatters and most of his allies having turned against him. I’m now pleased to say the third (and not final) volume of Space Academy is now released in Kindle form! There’s a lot of good news that comes with this volume because it is also coming with Podium and I signing a deal with six books in the series (that’s three more) to be narrated by Jeffrey Kafer! Yay! |
