'The alien known as The Human stands before this Tribunal having been found guilty of the crime of murder without circumstances. You shall be interned in the Malx Prison for a term no less than your natural, unnatural, or transformative life without the possibility of reconsideration or commutation. You have committed the most grievous crime on Noranen and shall now suffer the maximum consequences for such a heinous act.'
Adam Cain had had worse days, but at the moment, he couldn't remember when. And when the native judge slammed an oblong stone on the podium before him, signaling an end to the fifteen-minute trial and sentencing, Adam felt a tingle run down his spine. It was going to take all his skill, experience-and luck-to get out of this one. And his latest challenge was just beginning . . .
But Adam wasn't about to let the situation get the best of him. He had skills, skills which will be tested when he finds he's been placed in more of a zoo than a prison. All the inmates were aliens on the planet Noranen and serving life sentences. So why worry about their welfare? Let them sort it out amongst themselves. All the guards did was clean up the mess afterward. Unfortunately for the inmates, there was now a super being amongst them, a scrawny, pink-skinned creature known only as The Human. Let the alien ass-kicking commence!
What would you do if you knew there was another version of Humanity that was superior to you? Would you accept them into your society with open arms? Or would see them as a threat to your survival?
Originally, the REVs were created to save mankind from alien threats; chemically altered super warriors designed as the ultimate killing machines. But now that those threats are under control, what do you do with the growing population of supermen and -women who are constant reminders of your own frailty? And what if these 'ultimate killing machines' decided that they should be in charge?
Zac Murphy and Angus Price are the two most famous and formidable REVs in the Corps. Supermen in nearly every way, they are legends, both among the growing REV population, as well as the billions of normal Humans on Earth. And now they will be called upon to quell the festering tensions between normal Humans and the REVs. But then a new threat appears on the horizon, a threat that requires the REV-once again-to become the sharp end of the spear. Will the REVs answer the call? Why should they? They have very little in common with the rest of Humanity. And with the way they've been treated recently, who would blame them if they said no? Will this be the final splintering of the Human race, one that could lead to the demise of both branches of mankind?
The Transporter meets Mad Max . . .
In the latest Human for Hire adventure.
It started out as a simple weapons delivery to a planetary warlord. But when Adam Cain-AKA The Human-is asked to transport an innocuous-looking package back to the warlord's capital, things take a turn for the worse. Yeah, you know what happens: Adam looks in the package!
Now meet Siri, a sexy, feline-like mutant whose special powers have made her the target of the two most powerful warlords on the planet Ellios. Of course, Adam is intrigued by her, and soon the pair are racing across the planet in a desperate effort not only to save their own lives but also to put an end to a perpetual war that has killed millions of natives.
Adam never asked for any of this. He never does. But trouble just seems to follow him from adventure to adventure.
This is classic Adam Cain, AKA: The Human for Hire.
And as always, the bad guys learn too late that . . . you don't mess with the Humans.
Eleven years ago, Army Ranger Jason King lost his job when the aliens came to Earth and outlawed war among nations. Now he makes a fairly decent living as the top real estate broker on the planet Sylox, the capital of the Galactic Union. His clients are primarily Humans coming to the planet to work at the huge Embassy Complex, and they find Earth-like housing-along with a little taste of home-in the sprawling Enclaves of Sylox.
Things are going pretty well for Jason, right up to the time his latest customers arrive from Earth-and that's when all hell breaks lose! Now Jason finds himself entangled in layer upon layer of deadly conspiracy involving a quasi-religious artifact whose theft is about to trigger a galactic war. The Earth has also become ensnared in this conspiracy, placing her squarely in the crosshairs of two vindictive alien species bent on her destruction.
Now all Jason King has to do is recover the artifact, capture the thief, prevent a galaxy-wide war, and save the Earth from annihilation. And do all this between his real estate closings. Oh . . . and there's also a super-hot woman right in the thick of things just to keep things interesting. And don't forget the headlong chases through exotic star systems, and the shoot-outs, and the fist-fights-all the good stuff that puts the adventure in space opera adventure!
When the aliens came to Earth and outlawed war, it left Army Ranger Lieutenant Jason King looking for another way to make a living. Now he's a successful real estate broker working on the planet Sylox-the capital of the Galactic Union-yet he's always itching for the chance to get back in the saddle again . . . So, when an old Army buddy shows up on his doorstep, Jason finds himself drawn into a web of high-stakes intergalactic intrigue and adventure, and with the fate of Earth hanging in the balance.
At the crux of the conspiracy are the legendary Galactic Lights, a collection of fabled objects with the power to destroy worlds-if they really do exist. Now Jason has learned the truth: The Lights are real, and the balance of power in the galaxy rests with their recovery and transport to Sylox for safekeeping. Now Jason is the only person in the galaxy who can save the Union, along with his precious homeworld-Earth.
If he succeeds, he wins the love and respect of the woman of his dreams . . . as well as about fifty tons of gold and the galaxy's most prized treasure. But if his mission fails, the Union will fall, and Earth will be destroyed. For Jason King, it's just another day at the office . . . No one said Jason was the noble hero type. He just ends up doing heroic deeds . . . and often against his own natural instincts.
The Human racks up the score in this one . . . That's because when you run out of options, all you can do is . . .
Kill them. Kill them all.
When The Human takes on a minor mercenary job of protecting a group of settlers against alien marauders, it seems simple enough . . . until the bad guys don't take no for an answer, leaving Adam with only one option . . .
Kill them, kill them all.
Get ready for The Magnificent Seven in Space.
He wasn't supposed to care for the helpless aliens; that's not his line of work. He deals in lead . . . and flash bolts. But maybe Adam's getting soft in his new cloned age. Yeah, I don't think so. He just has a thing for the underdog. Get ready for some major alien ass-kicking as the marauders do the one thing you shouldn't with Adam Cain. They made him mad.
Now, time for some serious collateral damage!
A cure for aging is all the rage these days, with scientists only a few decades away from extending life to 150 years or more. So when Dr. Ben Peterson is offered twenty million dollars to develop the so-called Body Fortress Drug-a cure for all disease-he was surprised as anyone when he actually did it! However, along the way, he also developed the opposite, a drug that leaves the body susceptible to ALL diseases . . . the perfect biological weapon.
This is a thrill-a-minute rollercoaster ride of scientific intrigue and of a billionaire madman's obsession to live forever. And now he's sent his army of henchmen after the only people in the world who can stop him . . . an NSA 'thief' and his crippled father, along with a beautiful CDC epidemiologist. The stakes have never been higher. Succeed . . . or three-quarters of the world's population will die.
Now, this trio of reluctant heroes is in a desperate race to provide an antidote to the deadly formula before the madman can fulfill his ultimate desire: To live forever . . . and without competition from other human beings. And he has seventeen billion dollars to work with to make sure he gets what he wants.
The Human for Hire . . . Has a particular set of skills . . . And now he's about to put them to deadly use.
Arieel Bol is the religious leader of the planet Formil, Speaker of the Gods, and Carrier of the Sacred Bloodline. She also happens to be The Human's ex-lover and the mother of his daughter, Lila.
So when Arieel is kidnapped by a radical religious sect known as the Armies of the Sun, Adam Cain is set loose on a mad mission to save Arieel, and before her scheduled public execution.
The Armies of the Sun have already assassinated a dozen galactic religious leaders in the past few months and no one has been able to stop them . . . until now. You see, Adam Cain (The Human) has a particular set of skills that makes him a nightmare for people like the Armies. He will look for the kidnappers, he will find them . . . and he will kill them.
Yes, this is Taken . . . in Outer Space. But with a twist. There's always a twist . . .
And the clock is ticking.
A universe on the verge of collapse . . . A desperate race for survival . . . Ancient truths finally revealed . . .
While Adam Cain and his team are on a desperate mission to stop the creature Te'moc from a deadly encounter with Summer Rains and her evil phantom presence, J'nae, we learn more about how everything that has transpired over the past three billion years has been leading to this moment.
This is the full story of the immortal mutant genius Panur . . . Of how the ancient Aris led the ravenous horror of the Sol-Kor to the Milky Way . . . And how billions of years of genetic manipulation has the universe facing the brink of annihilation . . .
The future of existence now rests squarely on Adam's shoulders.
The stakes have never been higher or the consequences for failure more dire. Is the alien with an attitude up to the challenge?
Terminus Rising is an eye-opening, ah-ha moment of startling revelation. A thrilling race to save . . . everything. A space-opera adventure of epic proportions.
Like all the novels in The Human Chronicles Saga, this is a full frontal breathtaking sci-fi adventure, along with all the wry humor and sharp banter that fans have come to expect.
Adam Cain is an alien with an attitude. Now he's twice the alien he used to be . . .
With the clock ticking to total destruction of the universe, Adam Cain and Company race to find the imprisoned Last Aris, an insane creature they've run into before: Kracion! He's the key to saving . . . everything.
But will he help? Will he care if the universe dies?
And in the meantime, the evil Te'moc is still on the warpath, seeking to assimilate both Summer Rains and the super-mutant Panur-who's a little preoccupied at the time.
And to top it all off, the Sol-Kor have reached the point of no return in their search for their missing Queen-J'nae. Either they find her, or they die. Nothing is off the table when the future of your race depends on it.
Yeah, nothing boring about the next installment of The Human Chronicles - The Last Aris. So take a deep breath and dive in. The adventure has never been more inviting.
When The Human for Hire is asked to help in a bank robbery . . .
Of course, he says no. But then came the clincher.
'It's behind enemy lines.'
'This could be the perfect crime. Count me in!'
After his last two jobs left him broke and in debt, The Human for Hire is looking for a way to make some quick cash. And that's when three Human friends from his past show up, offering him a piece of the action in an upcoming bank robbery. At first, he says no. But then the details come out. It's behind enemy lines . . . and it's a Klin bank they'd be robbing. As Adam Cain says, 'This could be the perfect crime.'
Get ready for Kelly's Heroes in Space, as Adam Cain and friends embark on a hair brain scheme to rob half-a-billion energy credits from a Klin bank. It may seem as if the odds are against them, but remember, this is Adam Cain we're talking about. Never count him out. But that doesn't mean everything goes according to plan. They never do. And that's why the stories are so much fun!
Time for some serious collateral damage!
Human!
A name that strikes terror in the hearts of the galaxy.
Well, maybe not terror. More like caution, actually.
Since you know how hot-headed Humans can be.
After the galaxy was attacked by invaders, the Milky Way was left but a shadow of its former self. In its wake, a savage, almost Wild West existence emerged, ruled by gun and muscle. And for anyone needing help in either the gun or muscle category-or both-everyone knows you . . . Hire a Human.
As the quasi-supermen of the galaxy, Humans have a reputation for being the baddest of the badasses. Now, only a few hardy Humans still wander the space lanes in search of work. If you can find a Human for Hire, you can't go wrong. The only thing: Be prepared for a lot of collateral damage.
Adam Cain wanted to stay anonymous, hiding from his famous name while eking out a living as a bounty hunter, enforcer, bodyguard or mercenary . . . anything that would pay credits for his particular set of skills. And when Adam accepts a contract to recover a fugitive on a stinking cesspool of a world, he finds more than he bargained for. But on his next 'simple' assignment, things go really bad and turns into DIE HARD in Space. Yippie-ki-ay . . . !
