“… a gorgeous read, exciting and filled with fun…I enjoyed every bit of Under the Blue Comet.” –Romuald Dzemo, Readers’ Favorite
Born under a mysterious blue comet, Max Underwood’s life is upended on his eleventh birthday when he gains two remarkable powers and discovers his parents are much more than they seem to be. Kidnapped by an escaping alien, Max and his older sister Grace are dragged from the sleepy farmlands of Kansas through an alien wormhole into a desolate post-apocalyptic world controlled by a living android known as the Crystal Father. As Max and Grace struggle to survive the harsh environment, primitive aliens, marauding bandits, and terrifying otherworldly creatures, they begin to uncover the secrets of Max’s blue comet, along the way recruiting a shy and enigmatic Comet Kid named Sophie and a quirky robot named Zeus to help them battle the dark forces that are preparing to invade Earth.

Here’s the set-up:

Episode 1 in the Judicator Series.
Hera is sent by the Inquisition to a feral planet on the fringes of the galactic East, there to investigate a Warp anomaly. She takes a Sergeant, a Super-mutant, and a Technomancer for the mission. They discover a tribe of primitive humans, pure of gene-stock, who worship a giant, alien craft made of beautiful, horned ivory. Hera’s team begins to explore the xeno construct, for within its caverns lies the source of the mysterious Warp signature. Wonder and peril awaits them, the most strange and gruesome kind…

Read this short story because:
Across the Principalities, few individuals shoulder so heavy a burden as rooting out diabolism, alien infiltrators, and sedition. All labor and sacrifice to protect Humanity – flesh, intellect, and soul. Hera is one such person, a Judicator with a spike of ice for a heart, steely mind, mismatched eyes of pale grey and brown, and laser-shaven skull. Though uncompromising, judicious, and loyal unto death, she carries a grave secret of the Dark Divine. Hera is marked with the crooked biskelion of Suthanat, the Elder Lord of Decay and Master of Unlife.

Here’s the set-up:

Enter a darkened world where, so far, no one has won World War I and now dark monsters are choosing sides in the World First Wizard Complete Series boxed set. Dive into a double fisted tale of war, magic, and bloody conspiracies in the grim alternate history of the War to End All Wars.

Witchmarked:At what cost victory?

Milo Volkohne, orphan, criminal, conscript, and unwilling warlock could tell you but you might not like the answer.

It is 1936 and the Great War still rages on, with no armistice in 1918 when the Russian Empire crumbled in the fire and blood of stillborn revolution.

The hellish no man’s land has spread like a blight over Europe as grim, unyielding leaders promise a resolve of iron and no mercy, no peace, no hope.

It would take a miracle to save humanity, but as Milo would tell you: be careful what you wish for.

Plunging into a world of sorcery, treachery, and madness the world’s first wizard will bargain with monsters, human or otherwise, fight for his life, and dare to hope that he’s selling his soul for something worthwhile.

But is any price too high to end the War to end all Wars?

Sorcerybound:

The weight of the world would be enough but what if the world is on fire?

Well, then you fight fire with fire, and maybe a few of the undead for good measure, if you are Milo Volkohne that is.

But Milo’s cracking as the War grinds on.

Armies move and monsters scheme from the shadows as the fate of an entire nation hangs in the balance.

So no one’s got time for a broken wizard, even if he’s the only one.

Doomsday plots wait for no witch so with few new allies and too many new enemies, Milo’s going to have his work cut out for him.

At least it’s not the end of the world, right?

Wizardborn:

The War to End All Wars just got personal.

The World’s First Wizard was dragged into this fight kicking and screaming, but now that the dark conspiracies have dredged up specters of his past, Milo is determined to put them down once and for all.

His power growing with the stakes, Milo faces foes, human and otherwise, with aims that threaten to reshape the world, and they’re willing to do it at the cost of millions of souls. Milo, hero or not, can’t stand by, and so with his deathless bodyguard and fey girlfriend, he plunges into the dark, swimming upstream all the way.

But these waters are filled with hungry things, lurking just beneath the surface, things with long teeth and no fear of some paltry human sorcerer.

Milo’s going to have his work cut out showing them why humanity is officially off the menu.
